This event branding was created for a commercial real estate management company that was putting on a summer music concert series. We wanted the design to feel fun, lively, and evoke a sense of togetherness. The campaign was carried out across many print and digital platforms including web advertising and large scale banners.

Book cover design combines two of SSF’s favorite things—strong typography and compelling visuals. Both components of a cover are equally important and mutually dependent on each other—painting an enticing morsel of the story to the audience.

We love picturing the typographical possibilities of a title when I receive a new book cover assignment. "These words will stack perfectly, blend seamlessly, intertwine awkwardly." Book titles are little typographical puzzles to experiment with, fully investigate, and solve.

SSF has had the privilege of working as a book cover and book interior designer in the publishing industry for over eight years, collaborating with both small and large companies; Amazon Publishing, Girl Friday Productions, becker&mayer!, and Avalon Books, to mention a few of them.

The Association Montessori International is an international non-profit organization that serves to promote the values of Maria Montessori throughout the world.

SSF worked from the ground up to design AMI/USA's previously incongruous and out of date materials. This was achieved by implementing a simple visual brand that is straightforward with great impact – much like the organization. SSF took the existing logo and integrated it with a solid blue background, a simple watermark, and some sophisticated fonts to make AMI/USA look clean and modern.

SSF was responsible for updating all of the organization's promotional materials, including a membership brochure. Lastly, SSF designed a new user-friendly website to reflect the new brand. 

“SSF’s design abilities are outstanding - creative, refined and current”
