MPS is a small brand and web design studio, intentionally kept personal so every project is designed by me, with you.

BEHIND THE STUDIO

author’s note

Thoughtful design goes deeper than what looks good on a page

handcrafted by Carina

What has always fascinated me is what lives beneath the surface. The way a fictional character in a novel can make you feel seen. The way a handwritten note can preserve a fleeting moment into a memory you’ll carry forever. And the way certain spaces can make you feel like you’re right at home. 

The same is true for thoughtful branding and websites. That's why I always approach every design from the inside out to help you uncover and translate what lives deep within you into an unforgettable visual story that makes your people actually understand who you are.

CHAPTER 1 • MY STORY 

When I first started Moderately Poetic Studio, I always found myself looking outward for answers. I thought if I just gathered enough inspiration, kept up with every trend, and followed the path everyone else seemed to be taking, I'd eventually find my way *spoiler alert: that's not how it works at all*

But the more I chased what worked for everyone else, the more disconnected I felt from myself and who I am. It wasn't until I started letting my beliefs, my experiences, and how I see the world start to guide my branding process that everything began to fall into place.  

a glimpse inside

My life beyond the design screen

Even though I spend most of my days designing, my love for poetry runs deep. I've always been fascinated by the way a poem can capture a feeling that's hard to put into words without ever fully needing to explain it.
 

poetry lover

My idea of a perfect day usually involves making something by hand. Whether I'm experimenting with air-dry clay, painting, or dreaming up future wedding stationery designs, designing by hand is my love language.
 

CREATIVE SPIRIT

At any point in the day, there's a good chance I'm being followed by Loki (the weird guy in the photo) and Cuba—my two dogs and self-appointed supervisors. At this point, I've happily accepted my role as their emotional support human. 
 

DOG WHISPERER

Give me a cozy corner, a room filled with books, and a story filled with magical worlds with dragons, powerful FMC's, and a well-written character arc, and I'm a happy gal (but Eragon has my heart for eternity) 
 

FANTASY nerd 

What started as a few houseplants has slowly evolved into a home that resembles a greenhouse. I love surrounding myself with things that grow, and plants just have a way of making every space feel more alive.

my values

Refined to Last

The difference between a design that catches someone's eye and one that stays with them often lies in the details. From ensuring every brand element reflects who you are to creating a website that thoughtfully guides the people you dream of working with, each detail is handcrafted to support your next chapter.

Aligned Around You

Your brand should reflect the heart of your story — you are the one who makes it one-of-a-kind. It's time to stop chasing trends and *worse* falling into the comparison trap. I can help you create a brand that makes the right people stick around, tells your story and make you giddy every time you look at it.

Handcrafted with Intention

Nothing is and afterthought here, every element is handcrafted with intention and sooo much love . From the strategy that guides your brand identity to all the thoughtful little touches to your custom site, every detail plays a role in building a brand that represents you and gives you your confidence back.

CHAPTER 3 • YOUR STORY 

As a creative with your own calling, the last thing you need is to stray from your path and forget to show up as your beautiful, interesting and unique self. Your brand deserves to be shaped by the experiences you’ve lived through, the values you believe in, and who you’ve become in the process.
 
Because your brand is so much more than logos, fonts, or pretty colors on a screen. It's a heartwarming invitation into your world, a conversation that makes people want to stay a little longer, and the kind of promise made that keeps people coming back for more.
 
You, a multi-passionate creative with a story worth telling, and me, a visual storyteller at heart?

Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful new chapter to me.
I want you to truly fall in love with your brand.

Your story is layered, and your brand should be, too.

the process

Let's turn your dream into reality

step 2: inquire through the form

Fill out the inquiry form and share as many details as you’d like.
I’m a big fan of details (and excitement), so don’t hold back, I want to hear everything about your vision and your business!!

step 1: choose your package

Start by exploring the packages and choosing what feels right for you.
If you’re not completely sure, don’t worry, we can talk it through together during your discovery call.

step 3: discovery call

After you inquire, I’ll send you a link to my calendar so you can book your discovery call.
Think of it as a relaxed coffee chat where we get to know each other and talk about your business, your ideas, and what you’re looking for.

step 4: book your project

If it feels like a good fit after our call, I’ll send over a detailed proposal with everything we discussed, including the package, process, timeline, and payment plan. From there, you can take your time and decide if you’d like to move forward, no pressure at all.

If you don't feel excited about your brand anymore, you’re in the right place. You deserve way more than that. Together, we’ll translate your vision into a visual story with heart and depth that has you written all over it.

it's time to fall in love again with your brand
