The Nest Play Cafe

The Nest Play Cafe wanted a brand that felt as joyful and welcoming as the space itself. I partnered with them to create a playful yet polished identity that speaks to both kids and parents. Starting with a logo, we built a visual language full of warmth, color, and connection, all rooted in the cafe’s mission to bring families together through imaginative play.

To carry that energy across every touchpoint, I designed marketing templates and a full brand guideline that covers everything from color palettes and typography to logo usage and tone. I also designed and developed a custom website to showcase events, memberships, and offerings in a way that feels clear, inviting, and easy to navigate.

The result is a cohesive brand and digital presence that helps The Nest stand out as a go-to spot for families in Indianapolis looking for creativity, connection, and fun.
