Jorine - Styling Without the Overwhelm
OVERVIEW
A branding project for Jorine, an interior and set styling studio founded by Joanna and Catharine. The brand is shaped around the way interior and exhibition projects can often feel overwhelming for clients, especially when there are many creative decisions involved. Guided by the idea of "Take it Easy," the identity makes the studio feel personal and easy to work with. The result is a brand that makes detailed styling work feel simple and approachable, while still showing Jorine’s creative range.
