The Dazzling Concierge
Gemologist and engagement ring expert Jessica Gylsen sought to create a new brand that conveyed her bold, personable, "never settle for less" style. We created an initials icon within an octagonal "gem" like shape paired with a matching logo pattern to provide a consistent and memorable brand signifier. The website design is crisp, clean, white, and highlights the pieces she showcases, with slight accents of yellow that pops and a subtle light gray.

"Traveling with the Élanoura Founder Retreat was truly a life changing experience. The trip from start to finish was curated so beautifully, from the moment we got there. Wow! This trip has opened up my eyes to world travel, to the importance of connection with other woman in a way I never knew was possible. Seeing life beyond the walls of the small town I live in and the experiences I’ve had in my life so far… I want more! Morocco was literally a DREAM come true. Thank you Erika for curating this magical experience, I am flooded with gratitude."
