Challenges

Trestle was preparing the launch of one of its first highly visible housing projects and recognized the existing brand was falling short in articulating its purpose and promise, not only externally across communications, but within the growing organization itself.

Solution

During Brand Camp, we uncovered the core concept behind Trestle’s existence – Accessible Urbanism. The company is truly broadening urban accessibility to residents from a wider range of income levels and we wanted to make sure the brand celebrated this feat.

We refreshed the Trestle visual identity to better align with this foundational concept and created a visual style guide, sketched wireframes, and copy queues for their web development team to quickly implement.

Accessible urbanism with a human approach.

  • Give her a snack and she’ll love you forever. This is one extremely food motivated human. Tacos, cheese n crackers, and dark chocolate are all accepted forms of currency.
  • She once traveled around the world by herself in less than three months. Her favorite places on the planet (so far) are Chiapas and Sicily. 
  • Her first word was moon.

Rüfüs du Sol (Lane 8 Remix)
  • Proud 90’s U.S. Space Camp Graduate where I got as close as I was gonna get to my kid aspirations of being an astronaut. Now super happy to be an Earthonaut (like you).
  • For fun I read wikipedia articles, watch youtube explainers, and look up the etymology of words, often leading to waaayyyy too many tabs open in my browser.
  • I’ve DJed on an art car at Burning Man. My “theme song” is what got the vibe going.
