Elevate your brand with
Iconic brands don't just happen: they're by design. At Oava, we craft brand strategies that have such an authentic voice they are irreplicable. The building of the story is what makes your brand magnetic. Resonate with your ideal clients infinitely through a brand story they cannot see themselves outside of.
Genuine brand visuals capture attention. First impressions matter in the world of commerce. Make it a good one. In a sea of visuals that your customer sees everyday, be the one that is a reprive from the chaos. Resonate with authentic hand made visuals, bespoke custom typography, and curated imagery and animations. Meet your client at your shared loves for earth, nature, history, and art.
Your brand deserves packaging that's collectible, not disposable. We design thoughtful packaging that makes a calm, steady statement from all angles. There isn't a need to scream for shelf space when your packaging is eye catching inherently.
Be discovered via a web presence that is immersive and converting. Be a place people browse around because they feel like they're entering into a place they've been insatiable for. Be the quenching of their desire for thoughtful, artful business - in a good natured sense.
This is the moment.
Take what you have built so far and make it iconic.

It all has an effect.

The transformation of Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott
Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott (Yellow Rose) is a subsidiary of the iconic Kendra Scott brand, born from Kendra's own Texas ranch and her immense love for the state and its land. After operating for about a year with a youthful, boho-style logo, Yellow Rose was preparing to open retail locations across multiple Texas cities—and needed a brand identity that embodied the shift from cute subsidiary to Texas-heritage, fine goods brand, and the expansion that came with the shift.
We reimagined the brand from "charming local favorite" to Texas heritage brand through a custom hand-lettered word mark and a bespoke brand typeface.
Yellow Rose now attracts shoppers who are charmed by Texas, ranch life, and heritage pieces. The rebrand was the doorway to become a distinct identity that aligned with their products and business goals.
