Just in time for summer, the 2026 Windermere Real Estate Guide is now out! Look for it on your Washington State Ferry ride to any of the San Juan Islands. This 56-page book was designed to be consistent with the Windermere brand standards in color, typography and art elements, featuring the photography from the agents' listings and from the beautiful surrounding areas.

The 2026 publication features breathtaking properties and incredible investment opportunities only available on the San Juan Islands. Plus, it's a magazine packed with useful information about the islands and their attractions, restaurants, art galleries, lodging and more. 

After creating the brand identity last year for LaConner Pets, we've continued to roll out branded ads and promotional items for the store. Prompting this feedback from the client were designs for outdoor sidewalk signs that catch your attention when driving by, while communicating a timely branded message.

Each week a different pet gets to star in a local newspaper ad for La Conner Pets. According to owner Tracy, customers comment daily on the ads and it's a community-building incentive to bring their leashed pet while they shop and have a picture taken. I love supporting this small business and seeing which pet will be featured next.

We drove up to the Skagit Valley during tulip season and stopped at my new favorite pet store—LaConner Pets! Some of the new signage had been installed and the graphics on the cute delivery car were in place. The main logo sign on the front of the building is still to come. We stopped at a tulip farm to see those gorgeous tulips and had lunch along the channel in LaConner. A great day trip and loved seeing owner Tracy and the logo out in the wild.

LaConner Pets is a new pet store in a cute tourist town near the tulip fields in Washington state. The owner wanted a whimsical, circus feel for the new branding and this is what we came up with. I'll be visiting the store this week to see the new logo and signage in person. More pics coming soon!
