A Brand Refresh

For an Established School

When Mike and his wife, Joanne, reached out to our team, they had recently bought a Montessori school in San Jose, California. The school was already established as Piedmont Hills Montessori Academy, but Mike and Joanne were looking to rebrand it to give it a fresher look that better resonated with local parents of preschoolers and kindergartners. Our team enjoyed collaborating with Mike and Joanne to bring their new brand to life with a fresh new logo and website design. Once those pieces were in place, we updated their business cards, letterhead, and envelopes to align with the new brand. Take a look at some of our work together.

“We hired Daor Design to design our preschool logo, website and branding. Very professional and thorough from beginning to end. Sarah and her team were a great pleasure to work with and iterate patiently based on the feedback. Very happy about the results and received good comments from staff / parents already.”
