Rebranded a nonprofit's social media identity by managing the social media accounts with a modern, fresh, yet rustic aesthetic + organized highlight reels. I was able to increase the nonprofit's social media presence , followers, and engagement.

The Trendy Trap, an emerging business in the local thrifting industry, reached out to me for consultation and assistance in the development of their new brand.  

I met with one of the owners, Noah Anderson, to gain an understanding for his vision of the business. We also evaluated the businesses strengths, weaknesses, and local / regional competitors. 

Noah described the Trendy Trap as place where individuals can explore their style and try new pieces that push them out of their comfort zone.

We decided on the words: transformative, exotic, comfortable, retro, and vibrant, which encapsulates the desired aesthetic.

I assisted in the development of content ideas and styled photoshoots and managed the production of content. I also advised on social media posts and general online brand identity. 

For the two photos on the above: I critiqued their old logo and informed them I found it did not accurately represent the vision they had for the business. The owners reached out to the original creator of the logo and re-created the logo.

 

I took the homepage image, which conveys the retro and comfortable feel of the business 

I also captured the category photos which presents the vibrancy of the brand.
