Atlantic Thai Massage
Brand identity · Website · Class registration
James Harper was launching a Thai massage practice and training school in Moncton — a first for Atlantic Canada. He'd built a website himself the year before, but it couldn't say what he'd built. There was no brand to build on, and by his own admission he wasn't sure what needed doing first.
We excavated the real story — decades of study in Southeast Asia, monastery life, teaching in Nunavut — and built the brand from scratch around it: Midnight Blue, Red Rose, and a site with class registration students actually used.
A first for Atlantic Canada
"I didn't even know what I needed. Kate could read what was inside my heart and bring it to life. I now have a website and branding I'm truly proud of."
— James Harper, Owner, Atlantic Thai Massage
How it happened
I started by sitting down with James and walking through a discovery framework — helping him articulate what he was looking for before we touched a single design. He had a rich story (decades of study in Southeast Asia, monastery life, teaching in Nunavut and the Middle East) and a clear two-sided business: treatments and courses. I mined his old site for the photos and quotes worth keeping, wove them into the new one, and kept the whole process calm and free of jargon.
What shipped
- Brand identity from scratch — logo suite, Midnight Blue and Red Rose colour system, full guidelines deck
- Full website design and build
- Class registration — students browse and register for courses directly
- Treatment menu architecture that educates clients before they book
- Handoff resources — tutorial videos and a file bank for independent updates
James got a brand and platform that matched the depth of his practice.
