Desi Flora is a floral design studio is a based in Kansas City. Desi Flora Design encapsulates the essence of floral beauty through culturally inspired motifs and vibrant colors, creating bespoke floral arrangements and decor that celebrate tradition with a modern touch.
I wanted the logo to reflect those attributes — by combining elements of a traditional logo with a pill shape and a modern rendering of a lily of the valley: Desi’s favorite flower.

Pleaser Magazine
Pleaser is an independent, women-run online and print music magazine that serves as a breath of fresh air in the overly critical music journalism landscape. We aim to highlight our favorite artists, their managers, tour managers, photographers, and all other behind the scenes players that make the music world go ‘round. We are run by fans, made for other fans and music industry professionals like us. We are extremely passionate about making space for our community of mostly women and non-men in the male-dominated music industry. We are committed to being a source of encouragement and inspiration for everyone.
This logo had to be simple and easily recognizable as it serves as a masthead first and foremost. The logo type is King’s Sans, which has a classic feel, but with a few quirks that speak to the Pleaser colloquial, but journalistic brand voice. The logo image is a loose interpretation of a vinyl record, but also sound waves emitting; we’re getting our stories to be heard far and wide.
