The Challenge

In 2022, the founder of Cedar Canoe Books, an independent bookstore, approached me for support in crafting a brand image that aligned with the upscale Muskoka, Ontario market. He wanted a clean, modern brand that would resonate with nature-loving, cottage-minded customers and a foundation for growth through key marketing materials and templates.

The Solution

With the customer profile in mind, I developed the Cedar Canoe Books brand using rich greens to evoke a connection to nature, a wavy motif inspired by the heart of the community—Lake Muskoka—and clean, simple fonts to maintain a modern aesthetic that appeals to upscale customers.
