THE NITTY GRITTY
Having operated the studio at different times on both coasts, The Local Brand Co. offers a forward mindset for every project. We use a West Coast optimism balanced with an East Coast analytical approach. Our process begins with dialogue, market analysis and discussions about your branding concerns. Next is the creative process of blending all the target elements together to form the visual language. Finally, production and implementation. With the new visual vernacular in place, your unique brand identity is complete, translating into increased media recognition and sales.
A pocketful of genius. Coolness in a box. A Mid-Century Modern education in 26 remarkably easy lessons. The studio’s Modernist Alphabet Flashcards were inspired by California’s MCM style. They were featured on design-centric sites Dwell, Design Within Reach and HGTV. The cards retailed at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The cards were originally created for my then 7yr old daughter to teach her about modernism.

Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
David Attenborough
Nature Historian
EAST COAST STATE OF MIND
I love birds. When I was tasked with redesigning the Visitor's Center Exhibit Space for The Connecticut Audubon Society's Birdcraft Museum, this was a dream job. We needed to combine the historical nature of the museum, but bring a modern edge to attract newer visitors. The identity combined vintage bird etchings with contemporary typography and colors to create an eclectic modern statement. The refreshed look increased media recognition in the state and brought new as well as existing enthusiasts to the museum. The project was produced as Jargon Boy Design Studio.
The brand identity would go on to be featured in design magazines such as ID and selected to be in Print's Regional Design Annual for the East Coast. The banners would also be highlighted on Communication Arts online in Fresh, which profiled Jargon Boy Design Studio and in Graphic Design USA on an article "Historic Sites Get New Looks". The studio was conceived/run by Owner/Creative Director Greg Chinn in Fairfield, Connecticut.
