Bringing clarity, cohesion, and intention to how you present yourself.

VIEW ALL PROJECTS

01.Brand & Identity

For companies that have evolved, and realize that their branding no longer represents them.

We’ll look at what’s working, what isn’t, and where you’re headed. Then we’ll reshape your brand into something clear and confident, starting with a strong logo and building only what you actually need.

A good fit for established brands ready for a reset, and startups that want to get it right from the start.

02.Creative Consulting & Direction

Sometimes you just need another set of eyes.

I work alongside in-house teams to offer direction, honest feedback, and a fresh perspective. Project-based or ongoing, I help strengthen the work, sharpen ideas, and make sure everything holds up.

No fluff—just clarity and forward motion.

[About]

HELLO,

I’m Lorelei. AKA: LL, if that’s easier to remember.

I didn’t plan on becoming a designer, it found me.

A math class in college set things in motion, and before long I was in Budapest working at Saatchi & Saatchi. That experience led me to study in Switzerland, earn my MFA in Basel, and later work in New York at Chermayeff & Geismar.

I’ve taught design at Universities, run my own studio since 2002, and helped launch a sustainability expo in Boston.

Now I live in Vermont with my family and our dog, spending as much time outside as I can.

That balance shows up in my work; thoughtful, grounded, and designed for people who love what they do.

What my peeps say

Lorelei is a true rockstar. Her fresh, clean designs—from logos to social campaigns—consistently impress. On our latest project, her guidance helped us exceed our fundraising goals and expand our reach. Professional, insightful, and creative, she brings expertise and energy to every project.

Andrea Lauer Rice, PresidentHungarian American Coalition & Lauer Learning

Hiring Lorelei at the start was one of the best moves we made. She designed a logo that’s still going strong 15 years later—no shelf life here! Riders everywhere know Highland by that mark, and it’s as bold and timeless as our trails.

Mark Hayes, FounderHighland Mountain Bike Park

I collaborated with Lorelei on a healthcare website, where she art directed the imagery from concept to final production. Her clear vision kept every image aligned with the brand, resulting in a cohesive and effective visual story.

Matt McKeeCommercial Photography

Lorelei is a great design mentor and has always challenged me to push an idea to the next level. Her ideas and techniques are very strong and I appreciate all the chances I get to work with her, as I know it makes me a stronger designer as well.
