Studio — Portfolio
The work.
Every project begins with understanding. What you see here is what emerges when that process is honored.
Case Study 01
The Peace Rebellion
Full brand identity, website, messaging framework, and movement storytelling system for an education justice organization.
What They Needed
The Peace Rebellion is an education justice organization doing serious, sustained work at the intersection of Montessori pedagogy and equity. They had a powerful mission and a growing community — but no visual or verbal identity that matched the weight and distinctiveness of what they were building.
They needed to show up in the world in a way that felt like them: movement-oriented, principled, grounded, and urgent without being reactive.
What Studio Built
- —Full brand identity — logo, mark, color system, typography
- —Brand guidelines and visual standards
- —Website architecture and narrative structure
- —Website design and copywriting
- —Messaging framework — the words and phrases that are theirs
- —Movement storytelling system — how they tell the story of the work in progress
The Result
A visual and verbal identity that feels like the organization.
Not a generic nonprofit aesthetic. Not borrowed education design patterns. An identity that carries the specific weight of what The Peace Rebellion is doing — and gives their community something to recognize and rally around.
Case Study 02
Public Montessori in Action
Social storytelling strategy, voice system, and reusable template library for a public Montessori advocacy organization.
What They Needed
Public Montessori in Action (PMAI) advocates for Montessori education in public school systems — a specific, important, and often misunderstood mission. They had compelling stories from schools and communities doing this work, but no consistent system for sharing them.
Social media felt like a series of one-off decisions — what to post, how to say it, what it should look like. They needed a rhythm they could actually sustain.
What Studio Built
- —Social storytelling strategy — what stories to tell, in what order, toward what purpose
- —Voice system — the specific language, tone, and framing that is distinctly PMAI
- —Reusable visual template library
- —Content categories and posting framework
- —Editorial calendar and planning system
- —Handoff guide for team use
The Result
A sustainable content rhythm that didn't require constant creative decisions.
The PMAI team stopped starting from scratch every time they needed to post. The voice system made it clear how to say things. The templates made it fast to make them look right. Consistency became a function of infrastructure, not heroic effort.
What We're Working On Next
Studio takes limited clients. We choose carefully.
Every project we take gets our full attention. That means we work with a small number of organizations at any given time — and we choose the ones where we believe the process will produce something genuinely good.
The ideal next project: a Montessori school or education-adjacent organization doing serious work that isn't yet visible at the scale it deserves. A leader with a distinctive voice who hasn't found the system to make it consistent. An organization that knows something is off in their communication but can't quite name what.
We're looking for the organizations where the work is already there — and our job is to help it land.
Signs we might be a fit
You're doing Montessori work that the broader world doesn't yet understand
Your mission is clear to you but not to the people encountering your school for the first time
You're ready to invest in getting the communication right — not just adequate
You want a collaborative process, not a vendor relationship
You can articulate what's not working, even if you can't yet say why
If any of this sounds like your organization, let's talk.
