Custom Website + Brand Identity for a Play-Based Preschool in Ventura, California
PROJECT GOALS
Kiddie College needed a website and brand that felt as warm, thoughtful, and engaging as the experience they provide for families. Their previous online presence didn’t fully reflect the heart of their program, or make it easy for parents to take the next step.
We redesigned their brand and built a custom website that blends playfulness with clarity, helping families quickly understand what makes Kiddie College special, and feel confident reaching out.
THE CHALLENGE
Kiddie College had strong word-of-mouth, but their website wasn’t doing the heavy lifting.
-
Messaging wasn’t clearly speaking to parents searching for a preschool
-
Visuals felt busy and didn’t reflect the calm, nurturing environment
-
No clear path for inquiries or tours
-
Limited SEO structure for local search visibility
-
No AI Visibility for appearing in Chat GPT, Perplexity or Claude search results
PROJECT OVERVIEW
-
Client: Kiddie College Preschool
-

THE STRATEGY
This project wasn’t just about making things “look better.” It was about building a site that works.
We focused on:
-
Parent-first messaging that speaks directly to what families are searching for
-
A soft, muted color palette to let real classroom moments shine
-
Clear navigation + calls-to-action to increase inquiries
-
Foundational on-page SEO for terms like “Ventura preschool” and “early childhood education”
"Kari was incredible to work with! From the beginning, she understood my vision and brought it to life with such thoughtfulness and creativity. There are so many details that go into branding and launching a new business and it’s easy to get lost and overwhelmed . She completely captured the vision and turned it into a stunning brand and a beautifully designed website & logo. Kari’s patience and eye for design made the entire process effortless. I am so grateful for her talent and care!"

Full Branding Kit with Guidelines
As a Calabasas website and brand designer, I had the opportunity to create a sophisticated identity for a boutique bottle shop opening in Old Town Calabasas. The owners envisioned a space that felt elegant yet a little mysterious, think speakeasy energy meets modern luxury.
We began with a handcrafted lettering concept, then evolved into a refined script logo that better reflected their polished new brand direction. Every design detail - from the Ralph Lauren British Racing Green inspired color palette to the custom art deco patterns and weathered leather textures - was intentionally chosen to capture the shop’s moody, high-end atmosphere. The final result is a cohesive brand and website design that feels timeless, inviting, and worthy of Calabasas’ growing collection of elevated, small-batch businesses.
