We all know people judge books by their covers. We're here to ensure your brand's 'cover' passes the test.
With a background in editorial design, we know how to create a story people want to read. We bring the same approach to our branding services, designing what we call “editorial brands” that are rooted in strategy, developed with style, and impossible to ignore.
Instead of simply selling a product or a service, an editorial brand creates a world people want to step into with a point of view, a distinct lifestyle, and a community they want to be part of.
That’s how we approach branding at Drop Cap. We don’t just design logos or choose colors; we build thoughtful visual symbols, stories, and systems that give your audience something to recognize, remember, and identify with. The result is more than a beautiful brand or a style guide—it’s a distinct world your business can grow into. One that you'll love and that your customers can’t help but buy into.
An editorial brand knows what story it’s telling… and who it’s telling it to.
I remember sitting behind a computer in an uninspired corporate office and counting down the hours until I could go home. I thought I had chosen the wrong path in life, and feared that I would never find joy in my work the way I did as a student in design school. But then I started Drop Cap Design, and everything fell into place… kind of.
Building a business of my own taught me that having the dream is one thing; making it feel real, cohesive, and confidently yours is another. That experience is a big part of why Drop Cap has grown into the boutique branding agency it is today, and why I care so much about working with people who are somewhere in that in-between stage themselves.
Today, I get to meet people who remind me of an earlier version of myself: full of ideas, but maybe a little unsure of how to bring it all together. I help them turn those ideas into businesses and brands they’re proud to stand behind.
Hi, I'm Kadie, and I'm obsessed with beautiful branding.
If you're anything like me, you've got big dreams. You've probably also encountered at least one roadblock or challenge along the way. Legitimizing your independent venture takes guts, determination, and a whole lot of Google business searches.
Since starting my business in 2014, I’ve worked with hundreds of creative business owners hoping to launch their idea into the world, live free from corporate structure, and reach the elusive goal of online success.
Now, I’m also teaching other designers how to do the same inside our Drop Cap Design Academy.

Diligent communication, consistent follow through and timeliness made the whole process really easy!
We were at a point in our business where we really needed to step up our game digitally as we took on new clients. We’ve always considered ourselves to be really picky when it comes to our business, but I was surprised that we had so few changes to each concept they came up with. I was blown away by the end result, and we’ve had so many colleagues and clients comment on our branding and how good our website looks. I can’t wait to work with this team again!

If I could name just one thing that I love most about Drop Cap… it would their rad aesthetic!
When I first reached out to Drop Cap, I was really new to the industry and I wanted a brand that would help me stand out and feel confident. They helped me so much throughout the whole process and made it fun to put together a brand that I fell in love with. I still love my logo just as much today as I did when we first created it, and after six years there still isn’t anything I’ve wanted to change. I know that Drop Cap was the best choice for me when it came to building a strong, clear, and timeless brand that’s stood by me and my business for years!
Andrea Rufener
Six years after working with Drop Cap, and I’m still in love with my branding!
I was originally considering another design firm in town, but Drop Cap's ability to easily communicate about creative ideas and understand what I was going for made it an easy choice. The whole process was so clear and organized and made it easy to focus more on the design and less on the back and forth. Now I’m able to easily showcase my work with clients and feel so confident sharing my website!
