Spirit Healing Arts is an Ayurvedic practice founded by Gianna and André, offering deeply rooted, traditional healing services. I was brought on to develop a complete brand identity and website that reflected the depth, uniqueness, and intention behind their work.

The Challenge
The project required translating a highly personal and symbolic vision into a cohesive and elevated brand system.
Incorporate meaningful elements, including a feather and a desire for a “golden” quality, without feeling literal or overly stylized
Capture a sense of tradition and depth rooted in Ayurveda while maintaining a refined, modern presentation
Work with initial photography that felt visually busy and misaligned with the emerging brand direction
Create a cohesive experience across logo, brand, and website
Approach
I took a hands-on, mixed-media approach to create something more dimensional and unique.
Began with physical materials, using watercolor and hand-drawn elements to build organic texture and depth
Digitized and refined these elements to create a cohesive, iridescent visual mark
Developed a logo that subtly captures luminosity and softness without relying on flat digital effects
Designed the website with a serif typeface, generous spacing, and wide margins to reflect tradition, calm, and intentionality
Guided the clients in refining their photography, moving toward simpler, more neutral backgrounds to better align with the brand
Outcome
The final result is a distinctive and enduring brand that reflects both the tradition and individuality of Spirit Healing Arts.
Establishes a calm, elevated visual identity rooted in authenticity
Balances symbolic elements with restraint and refinement
Creates a cohesive digital presence that continues to represent the brand effectively over time
