Humble Brags
Brought to you by our amazing clients.
Some of our most recent branding work 😍
Little Machine Brewery
-
We did it all on this one...from dreaming up and building a custom robot head to literally embody Little Machine’s artistic, weirdo, DIY vibe to conceptualizing and shooting all the brand photography that made the site and social media truly come alive.
As we built this brand we wanted to bring the real-life experience of being at Little Machine to the digital space. Little Machine is fun, subversive, artistic, community-centered, trailblazing, comfortable, unexpected, weird, and irreverent and I think we were to build something that demonstrates just that.
Lola Red PR
-
I pushed myself as a designer on this one and had the time of my life creating such conceptual (and cool) art, while Jed specialized in the messaging and site organization. We are so proud that we were able to help Lola Red clarify their incredible vision and bring their trailblazing, scroll-stopping efforts and belief in innovation and creativity to life through this incredible rebrand! (Special thanks to our colleague Ivan Trushin who originally put together the logo and found the perfect red. ❤️)
Work with Lola Red and you’ll be able to see the full scope of our efforts on this one—website, presentation decks, note cards, stationary—it’s exciting to see this new brand out there in the world, and I’m grateful to the amazing team at Lola Red for being so awesome to work with.
Uncommon Practice Pilates
-
We got to build this website on the incredibly strong foundation of Emily, our amazingly wonderful client & the studio owner, and work with her to bring her vision for her business and for her Pilates community to life. 🎨
We’ll let Emily tell you what she thinks about the brand 😭🥰: “Can I just say how much I friggin love this? I’ve never felt so vulnerable of being who we are, not fitting into the mold and owning the crazy! It’s the best organized chaos of messy, fun, clean cut, consistent, and has a personality of its own that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Couldn’t embody myself and the company any better!”
That’s the Kind & Funny magic...marketing and messaging is always better when you think in-depth about who you are, who your audience is, and how to best show up and communicate with them.
“Hiring Kelly at Kind & Funny to design my logo and website was one of the best decisions I have made for my business.
Her deep-dive process uncovered things about my business priorities that I had not even realized. In the end, I have a site that is professional, reflects my work ethic, and conveys my personality. There are 1000s of Denver Realtor websites. Most look alike. When a potential home buyer contacts you because they ‘could tell by your website that you are someone I'd like to work with,’ you know Kelly has put your best online."
Liz Rossof | Denver Nook
“Kelly is indeed incredibly kind, hilariously funny, and most importantly a brilliant and inspired muse for your organization.
She has the most creative, unique, and engaging digital voice and point of view I have ever encountered. What’s more, in addition to her exceptional talent in design and branding, she is also a wonderful thought partner. With Kelly’s help you can, in the words of Khalil Gibran, turn your work into “love made visible.”
Brian Abrams | B Ventures Group
“We hired Kelly to modernize and update our websites and brand.
Weekly brainstorming was enriched by her insight, knowledge and enthusiasm for the arts. She is personable and charming, straightforward, and thoughtful. She exhibits her intelligence and competence in every aspect of her work. She is absolutely trustworthy and reliable, the person who can even save you from yourself. I enthusiastically endorse Kelly O'Connell if you are smart or lucky enough to hire her.”
Sharon Bond Brown | Pattern Shop Studios
"I used Kelly’s services to rebrand my real estate business and overhaul my website.
Prior to working with Kelly my website was fine at best, but it was text heavy, hard to find information, and simply not something I was proud to share. In a very short time, Kelly reimagined the site into a professional, beautiful, and COOL website that absolutely reflects my brand and my personality. Throughout the process, I was impressed by her communication, work ethic, and eye for design. Highly recommend Kelly!!"
Caitlin Clough | Sloan’s Lake Agent
“Kelly and I have had the pleasure of working together for the past four years,
collaborating on a variety of in-house and consulting projects. She is a true communications and marketing rockstar, and I can't think of any other marketing professional I would rather work with.
Kelly has an innate ability to understand complex concepts quickly and effectively. Whether it's a new project, a product launch, or a fundraising campaign, Kelly's insights are always invaluable. And she does so with an upbeat, positive attitude!
Her standout qualities include her remarkable versatility and unmatched creativity. She demonstrates a unique ability to comprehend a broad range of businesses effortlessly, while at the same time, providing the team with fresh and innovative ideas. Her unparalleled ability to translate a brand's mission into compelling communications assets truly sets her apart. If you're looking to hire the best of the best, Kelly is your choice. “
Ginny Bishop | Ginny Bishop Consulting
“Kelly is my drug of choice.
Working with her was everything that I didn’t know I needed. She is inspiring, insightful, encouraging, and visionary! She has a way of digging deep into your vision and then reflecting it back to you in a way that is clearer and more formed than you knew. If you’re needing a brand refresh, some clarity, or just a genuine connection to an authentic soul, do not hesitate any longer! Do a soul search! As they say in Wicked, “because I knew you, I have been changed for good.”
