Hey friends! It’s been awhile since I shared a blog + branding design project, but I recently wrapped up a design for Louise of Papaya + Lime, and it’s one of my new favorites. Lou and I “met” through blogging almost two years ago — she was one of the first bloggers I connected with and was always one of the sweetest out there. She recently decided to uproot her London life and move to Bali, which called for a sleek, new blog that reflected her tropical surroundings and could help her share her exciting new journey.
If you look at Lou’s instagram, you’ll see that she has a clean, tropical, and whimsical style, so we aimed to incorporate similar elements in her new design. And like most of my favorite designs nowadays, we also added some hand-lettering to give it a unique and personal feel. You can check out her site and follow along on her nomadic adventure here. 🙂
If you’re interested in a custom blog, website, or logo design, you can view my portfolio or check out my design studio. Have a great day, friends!
