May Eleven

May Eleven

Introduction

May Eleven is my brand design studio and also my birthday. I launched it while celebrating my 30th birthday in Iceland. The date was important to me because I wanted the studio to feel like a true extension of me. After a year of perfecting my process, I revisited the color palette to make sure it still did. The emerald green was inspired by the birthstone of May and the color of my first earrings, the first time I remember feeling beautiful. The light blue symbolizes how my birthday trip to Iceland felt on the day of the launch. Fresh and calm.

Challenges

Challenges

The main challenge was not to overthink the project since there was no deadline or client to answer to.

Designing your own brand is genuinely hard, even when brand design is what you do. To work through it, I decided to lean into myself as much as possible. My birthday, my childhood memories, my trip. The more personal I let it get, the easier it became to trust my decisions.

Final thoughts

Final thoughts

May Eleven is the result of leaning all the way into who I am.

Putting myself through this process proved to me that getting to know my clients fully is the right way to make sure they are happy with the final result.
