SELECTED CLIENTS

National chains. New ventures. Same standard.

A collection of branding and logo guidelines for Grayson whiskey, including logo specifications, color palette, typography, and brand positioning. 
ONE PARTNER, NOT FOUR

The problem is rarely the logo. It's that nobody owns the whole thing.

A logo person. A web person. Someone running ads. Each one competent, none of them responsible for what the others ship.

Branding

Positioning, messaging, identity, and the rules that hold it together. Documented and handed over, so the next person who touches your brand doesn't have to guess what you meant by it.

Website

Strategy, UX, copywriting, design, and build. Your site is where the brand either converts or leaks, which is why it doesn't get handed to a separate vendor halfway through.

Marketing

Social, influencer, media buying, email, and print. The work that runs on the brand every day, made by the same people who built the brand it runs on.

Five disciplines. One studio. One standard, and it's the one national chains hire us for.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY BUILD

Strategy first. Then the part everyone else starts with.

Research, positioning, and messaging come before anyone opens a design file. That order is the entire difference between a brand that looks good and a brand that works, and it's why the work holds up when your team scales, your vendors change, and you're not in the room.

The process doesn't change with the size of the business. Only the starting point does.

SELECTED WORK

The Work, And What It Changed.

Three projects. Different industries, same standard. Every one started with strategy before a single design decision was made.

A collection of branding and logo design guides for 'RÊVE Boulder,' including brand guidelines, logo lockups, color palette, and application examples.
Mobile phone and laptop screen displaying a promotional website for RÊVE Boulder, featuring a community plaza, happy couple, and information about residences and restaurants.

The most expensive brand and website is the one you build twice.

Some clients come to us before that happens. Some come after. Either way, what fixes it is the same: strategy before design, a system instead of a folder of files, and rules written down so they outlast whoever made them.

What clients say.

  • "Mallory is the most talented creative director I have worked with in my career, and I have worked with a lot of them. She is the reason ten Puttery locations finally look and sound like one brand. She built our brand house and logo system, then ran the creative for more than thirty campaigns across email, Meta, LinkedIn, PMAX, display, print, TV and web without one of them drifting off brand. The work comes back ready. Ready to print, ready to go live, ready to hand to the developer. She is based in Minneapolis, we are in Texas, and it has never mattered once."

    Lisa Case
    Head of Marketing, Drive Shack & Puttery

  • "I can confidently say that Mallory is an exceptional creative partner. She brings a rare mix of strategic thinking, elevated design, and a deep understanding of how branding and websites need to function, not just look good. From the start, Mallory approaches projects like a true partner. She asks the right questions, understands business goals, and delivers work that was intentional, refined, and aligned with long-term growth. Her attention to detail, communication, and ability to execute at a high level made the entire process seamless. I trust Mallory completely with client-facing work and would confidently recommend her to other business owners or teams looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and reliable creative partner."

    Ashley Parnell
    The Parnell Group

  • "Mallory Ennis is an exceptionally skilled and strategic designer, especially when it comes to website design. Her attention to detail and commitment to user experience are unmatched. She has a rare ability to balance deep thoughtfulness with speed and execution better than anyone I’ve worked with. There’s a reason I’ve partnered with her for over 13 years and continue to rely on her as one of our primary creative assets. She’s truly in a league of her own."

    Melissa Temling
    Missy P Marketing

  • "I have worked with Mallory for about six years now, with three different companies, and she has taken the branding, marketing collateral, social media, and websites to the next level at each stop. Mallory and her team are a huge asset to me as a marketing and sales director, and the value that they provide cannot be overstated. They are organized, prompt, professional, talented, and flexible. When I have a project or an idea that I want to be executed at the highest level, I give it to Mallory, and she always knocks it out of the park. I think of Mallory as more of a strategic partner than a graphic designer, and I always appreciate the time that she takes to learn about my goals and preferences so that she can craft a branding strategy that supports our company’s broader business objectives. Every dollar that we spend with Ennis Aesthetics provides tangible ROI and helps our company cultivate an image of professionalism and quality, and they are a crucial part of our team."

    Reagan Francis
    Monteith Title Company

  • "I’ve worked with Mallory for over a decade, dating back to our early days together at a full-service agency. Even then, I knew she was someone I’d collaborate with throughout my career. Mallory has a rare ability to take my painfully vague notes and translate them into exactly what I had envisioned—sometimes even better than I imagined. Any tweaks or changes are always met with a positive, can-do attitude until the work is just right. One of the best examples was when she helped bring my own agency’s branding to life. I came to her with a few rough Canva play files and a simple request to give it more “punch.” She transformed that into a complete brand system—from the final logo to the website—and nailed the vision perfectly. Mallory is truly exceptional at her craft, and I’m grateful for the partnership we’ve built over the years. I look forward to the next decade of working together."

    Stephanie Bursa
    InHouse Agency

  • "Mallory is organized and efficient in her design work. I’ve been working with Mallory for well over 7 years, and she’s an absolute pleasure to work with. From jumping into one of our existing businesses to helping us launch a brave new concept in a whole other genre, she’s knocked it out of the park. She has great ideas, is very capable, and excels in not only web and graphic design but also social. We consistently get compliments from customers and other businesses on our brands and the intentional design they’re built with. You won’t regret working with Mallory. We’re grateful to have her on the 'team.'"

    Travis Beachy
    Beachy’s Baking Co. & Farm+Yard

  • "I had nothing short of a fantastic experience working with Mallory. I gave her a project with a tight deadline and little to no inspiration, and she knocked it out of the park! All she had to work with was my business name, and it resulted with multiple logo options, each with it's own backstory. I am excited to sign my next contract with her to further expand my brand. In addition to her creativity, she is professional and timely in communication. I highly recommend her to any and all businesses - small or large!"
