 What does your current brand say about you?

You’ve tried to communicate that you’re unique, but you’re tired of that word.

You’re confident in your personal style, but you know your brand needs a different one.

The ideas are there, but you need someone to hash them out.

You don’t want someone just to execute them, you want someone to bring energy to them.

Hi, we can do that. 

Just like you, we’re original. And we have three pillars in this business:

EXCELLENCE. HONESTY. Collaboration.

We never sacrifice one for another so you’ll get all three, all the time.

We will come on board as the missing piece of your team, connecting the dots between the work you do so well and the audience you want to engage. We’ll listen to what you want, and give you what you need.

Telltale puts the wind in the sails of your good ideas and breathes energy into designing you a brand that works. Let us be the creative team you need.

Hi there! I’m Lydia. And this is Telltale.

We are a small but mighty team, bridging the gap between a freelance designer and a traditional agency. We still have the personal touch of a solo-run company (yes, a client FaceTimed me from Home Depot to help with a paint color last week). But now that we are a team, we offer the breadth of knowledge, experience, and availability of a studio. 

We're branding experts so that you don't have to be. Start Your Project →

 “Telltale brought my brand to life in a way that I never thought possible. Right from the get go it was clear that Lydia had such a good understanding of my business, and I could not be more thrilled the results— she is friendly, reliable, and fun to work with.”
