Kind Words

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie and her team to develop an updated aesthetic that reflects Ritualist’s vibrant, modern vibe, so that the brand’s look & feel matches the joyful energy of our storefront. This was such a fun journey, and I’m so happy with our magical new image.

It was a time to celebrate & plan the future of our farm & store. The first thing we did, was reach out to the team over at SWD and hire their phenomenal brains (and hands!) to create a whole new look for our business. We love it!

For organizations looking to elevate and deepen their messaging, I highly recommend working with Sophie Wedd Design. Sophie is a visionary who creates a visually stunning product and is easy to work with, a good communicator, and flexible in meeting our organization’s needs and deadlines. We’ve worked with Sophie for over seven years, to rebrand, including a new logo, website, marketing materials, and visually stunning booklets, to create a user friendly quality brand experience. She works with our printer and manages every visual detail. She has also produced photoshoots, provided messaging & copyediting services, and manages our social & email marketing channels.
