Brand & Website Design for an Art Studio and Creative Coaching Practice

Meribeth Privett

Meribeth Privett is an abstract expressionist painter and creative coach in Houston, Texas, who offers original paintings, custom commissions, and workshops and coaching that help clients claim their own creative language.

Meribeth believes our lives are the most creative platform we have, and she sees the canvas as a conduit for beauty, healing, and inspiration. DesignGood had already created her Soul Alchemy wellness brand, and her art needed a home of its own. We built the branding, logo, visual identity, copywriting, and a custom Shopify website.

It is brand and website design for artists and creative coaches, with a simpler, bolder look made to show her canvases and a link back to the Soul Alchemy brand through shared elements and tone.

We had already worked with Meribeth to create her Soul Alchemy wellness brand, including a visual identity and website that evokes her spiritual approach to wellness. To connect the two sites, we threaded elements of the Soul Alchemy identity and tone into her new site, while creating a simpler, bolder aesthetic designed to reflect and showcase Meribeth’s canvases and her unique process. The custom Shopify site allows visitors to purchase available paintings and inquire about commissions and coaching. Meribeth’s brand mark is inspired by the ouroboros, an ancient loop symbol used by alchemists to represent the concept of eternity and the unity of time’s beginning and end. Here, it’s symbolic of Meribeth’s ability to channel creative energy and guide others into their own creative awakening.

Who This Brand Was Built For

We build brands for artists and creative practitioners whose work is both a body of art and a way of guiding other people. Meribeth's brand had to speak to collectors and design lovers looking for original abstract paintings and custom commissions, and to people drawn to her workshops and coaching who want to claim their own creative language.

What Changed for Meribeth Privett

Meribeth Privett paints as an abstract expressionist and coaches others to find their own creative voice, and both come from one belief, that our lives are the most creative platform we have. DesignGood had already built her Soul Alchemy brand and website, which spoke to her spiritual approach to wellness, and her painting called for a separate home with its own character.

We started with the question of how the two would relate. The answer was to thread elements of the Soul Alchemy identity and tone into the new site while giving her art a simpler, bolder look, so her canvases and her process could take the lead. We wrote the copy around her words for what a canvas can be, a conduit for beauty, healing, and inspiration, and for what coaching offers, a way to claim your own creative language and build self-acceptance and self-belief.

The brand mark came from the ouroboros, the ancient loop that alchemists used to represent eternity and the unity of time's beginning and end. For Meribeth it stands for her ability to channel creative energy and guide others into their own creative awakening. We then built a custom Shopify website where visitors can buy available paintings and ask about commissions and coaching.

Today Meribeth has a site that shows her work the way she wants it seen, and a brand that connects her art and her coaching without blurring them. A visitor can browse original paintings, ask about a commission, or learn about workshops and coaching, and Meribeth has one clear place to send anyone who asks about her work.
