🤍 Grasscloth Framed Birth Announcements🤍
Our birth announcements felt more like keepsakes than just paper. I also co-own a stationery company and relished in the details of Sutton and Reid’s announcements. From custom ribbons and beautiful photography by to envelope liners in the patterns I designed for their nurseries, I wanted a way to display them so we could enjoy them for years to come. After considering professional framing, I saw these bobbin frames at Target and got the idea to use grasscloth as a backer. The grasscloth elevates the frame, and the white paper really pops against the blue texture. This is such an easy and affordable way to frame all the special papers in your life; wedding invitations would be stunning too! Save this reel and click the link in my bio for links to the frames and grasscloth!

🤍 Brand Design for 🤍
A calming, spa-like palette with a touch of shabby chic; featuring a modern damask mark, bamboo accents, and a handwritten script for branding that feels serene, organic, and beautiful. I loved working with Emily on her brand identity and website. She is such a talented interior designer, and her photo galleries are such eye candy! View her stunning work at ehinteriordesign.com

Brand Design for 🤍
Inspired by vintage cameos and classic coastal New England charm, this branding was designed to feel timeless and elevated. I loved sketching icons to look like the signature pieces and creating coordinating patterns. But what made this project truly special was Alexa, the heart behind the beautiful jewelry brand. Collaborating with such an inspiring entrepreneur and mom, and connecting so naturally throughout the process, was an absolute joy. This one will always hold a special place. 🤍

Social Media Templates for 💕🩵🌴
I recently worked with my fabulous longtime client, Annie to refresh her social media! The new designs featuring tonal stripes, marble and wavy strokes play well with her existing patterns to create a cohesive look. I created backgrounds, borders, grids and overlays for her stories, reels, etc. Annie is such a fun follow; the perfect mix of fashion, recipes, travel and motherhood!

Cheers to 5 years!! 🤍5️⃣🍾September marks the fifth anniversary of Nicole Speake Design. I am so grateful for all the incredible clients I’ve had the privilege to work with since launching. I absolutely love seeing brands grow from an idea to thriving businesses and truly believe that beautiful branding sets the tone for success! I have also enjoyed designing products and textile patterns for my lifestyle line as well as for other businesses.

So much has changed since 2020, including my last name! I married my best friend and have had two precious children. My business name remains the same for now, as I love the symmetry of it. I am so thankful to have a career that allows the flexibility to be present with my family. Going from mom mode to work mode is like brain gymnastics but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

THANK YOU for being here and sticking around for my sporadic posts! I hope to share more branding projects and new products very soon! If you’re in need of a logo or brand refresh, I’d love to work with you! 🤍

xo,
Nicole Speake Dannecker

Brand Design for 🍃🤍🍃
As a longtime admirer of Paperwhites Interiors, this was a dream project for me. Mary Elizabeth and Juli design the most breathtakingly beautiful interiors and were such a joy to work with! With a palette of soft greens and airy blues, this branding suite reflects the timeless charm of its namesake flower. Delicate florals, graceful typography and fresh patterns evoke a sense of calm and sophistication.
