Farmers gotta farm. Makers gotta make. We do the other stuff.

We help farms and artisans tell the stories behind their products by creating custom graphics and photographs that honor their process and amplify their craft.

We can help you share your story. Here’s how.

Let your graphics tell your story.

You have a unique business and point of view; let us help you tell that story to the world. Maybe you need a logo. Maybe you send veggies out in boxes and want them to stand out from every other farm box. Maybe you want some iconic swag. No matter what, you want your graphics to draw people in. We tell your unique story by using block-print graphic design. We make modern graphics using traditional, hand-crafted methods.

Capture the behind-the-scenes.

If the only thing that your customers ever saw was the final product, would they value it as much as you do? Share your production process through photographs that illuminate the care and skill that goes into every step. We provide documentary-style photography that showcases your team and invites customers into the workshop. We capture you doing what you love, from start to finish, and customers connect with the humans behind the things.

When ink meets light, it’s on.

When you value quality, authenticity, and skill, generic graphics and photos just don’t cut it. Customers want to connect with the farms and artists they support. The combo of hand-crafted graphics and storytelling photographs create memorable connections for your clients and community, and those connections lead to sales. No matter where you are in your business development, we can help you develop, refresh, or refocus your story.

What do we mean by “storytelling”?

The story of your business is that tether that connects values to production and shows the people behind the products. It connects customers to everything from the vision that motivates you to the logistics of sourcing and distributing, and all the effort in between. We provide feedback on how you’re currently narrating your brand story through our Visual Branding Audits, and guide your future visual storytelling through customized Style Guides.

“Having Sarah’s block-printed graphics has helped me carve out an identity for myself in this populated area. I love how they look handmade because they are handmade. I wanted a look that would convey: we do things ourselves, with our own two hands. She captured that feeling so well.”
