Interview with Sara Metzger

"A lot of people remember color, that's what sticks with them when creating a brand; people think about the logo and the color. Yes, your brand is made up of much more than that but if you can focus on nailing down the direction of the feel these colors create, and what they represent, you have a really good foundation of creating a brand for yourself."

Today on the podcast we’re joined by our good friend and fellow Davey + Krista designer, Sara Metzger. Sara has been on the team for nearly 5 years and she is the genius behind many of the custom brands we create. We’re walking you through the exact process we use to define aesthetics and ultimately create color palettes for our clients.

This episode is full of practical tips to streamline the process if you are…

  • DIYing your own brand
  • elavating your brand
  • or a designer looking to offer a better experience for your client

If you want to watch us put these steps into practice, with the real client’s answers, head to this link.
