LJ Carter Creative

I had the privilege of attending the again this year and finally revisited my notes from the sessions. These were some stand out reminders from the great speaker lineup. Of course hanging out with so many creative minds and meeting people from all over the country feeds my soul, but these talks feed my creative mind. Grateful for the creative reset and wisdom I can bring to my projects and clients.

Finally sharing some work from the past few months...or year ha! I really have a love/hate relationship with social media. I bet a few of you know what I mean.

I was given the opportunity to create a naming and identity system for The Nehemiah Company’s build-to-rent developments. This showcases one of the brands, Avena.
I love how the entire system came together–but more importantly, the Nehemiah team did–and I can’t wait to see it continue to grow.

This showcases the Avena Homes brand but If you’re in Arlington, you can check out the Zetta Homes at 507 S Mary St. in Downtown Arlington.

I can’t get enough of this rebrand for ! How can you not smile and feel a glimpse of the joy this amazing business brings to kiddos (and moms).

I loved working with this passionate and hardworking mom on her business that started as an idea and just keeps growing. In that growth, she discovered she needed a brand system that was more flexible and able to expand easily onto packaging, digital, signage, etc. that she was confident in. So excited to watch Carley fly with it 🐦💜

Such an amazing grand opening last night at ! It was a privilege branding this beautiful restaurant and cigar bar. I got to expand the brand impression by selecting all the photography and wall decor along with environmental graphics through the space. I can’t wait to share more pictures soon!

What an amazing experience getting to brand and design for the first annual ! One of my favorite pieces I worked on was the commemorative poster. They sold a limited number of these at the festival along with hats, shirts, stickers, koozies and more swag. More about the project coming soon or checkout my website.

Many of y'all know, I am a coffee ju**ie. Well this coffee lager was practically made for me. Only problem is, I am having to wait a couple more weeks until our baby girl arrives before I can really enjoy it! Good thing I have some stashed away because it's flying off the shelves.
This can design is really the tip of the iceberg of the new packaging we're rolling out for Legal Draft Beer Co.. I'll share more about the full repackaging soon but for now, feast your eyes (and taste buds) on this clean smooth matte finish can wrap.
