Listen, you’re not some old man running a skincare brand because it’s a profitable niche at the moment

You’re a small business owner who is DEEPLY involved with your business, your clients, your products/services… If we’re being honest, it’s on your mind 24/7 isn’t it?

You already know that your brand should work FOR your business

Attracting the kind of people you want as clients, helping you raise your prices, and making you stand out in the market. No news here.

But apart from that, we personally believe it should deeply resonate with you

It sounds almost silly to say this, but after working ONLY with business owners with a taste for dark aesthetics for the last few years, we’ve discovered something: Apparently, with something so personal to you as your business, it doesn’t feel right until you look at your brand and see yourself staring back.

Luckily, we have a 3-step, tried & tested method to achieve exactly this.

Sold. How do I get this?

Step 1

Inquire

Say hi using the handy dandy form on our contact page. I'll get back to you within 24h.

Step 2
Tell me everything

Get on a call with me so we can talk about EVERYTHING. All your plans, crazy ideas, insecurities, and goals you’re too embarrassed to share with anyone else… I wanna hear it all

Step 3
Creation time

This is when we get to work, breaking down the project into milestones and touching base at the end of each so you always know what we’re up to. And you? You just approve stuff, and chill with your favorite drink

Step 4
Launch!

The most exciting part: Launching! We deliver the files plus all the guidelines you’ll need to take it from there! If you need help with print, and those nasty website tech things... we also help with that.

We are for you if:

You're busy as f*ck and ready to quit the DIY overwhelm by having a professional guide you, AND handle all the branding matters for you

You can't stand the oversimplification trend, and prefer brands that have ~a vibe~ about them.

You're into the dark stuff. Cool if your clients are too... but they don't NEED to be. Our specialty is finding that balance

You want a complete brand makeover from logos to website. Or, you just want the bare bones of branding, and will get more stuff later. In either case, you're more than welcome here

You’d like discovery calls that feel like talking to a friend, a streamlined process where you always know what’s being done, and having the chance to share all your crazy ideas and then sit back while we take everything off your plate and give you something FREAKING MAGICAL in the end.

We are not for you if:

You have no branding, and want just the collaterals

You're in a rush to launch and expect your project to be ready within the next week.

You're expecting fiverr vibes with 30 different concepts and logo options + 42 revision rounds to go with them. While we wanna give you something you love and don't mind a few revisions, we have our own branding method we've been improving nonstop for years. It's a lot more fun, and a lot less overwhelming for all of us, I promise!

You know exactly what you want and just need someone to execute the designs for you. You can get that for about fifty two us dollars on this site. 24h delivery too I hear.

You'd prefer a "collaborative" work system where you get to be the art director. While we are 100% open to listen to all your ideas and will LOVE to see your Pinterest boards, once we start work, we like clients to sit back and relax while we do our thing.

What peeps like you had to say about working with us

Jes

Brand: MysticNFireCrafts

"The entire aesthetic and vibe I wanted was completely understood and designed better than I could have imagined. @tarantula.studio is kind and knowledgeable and definitely knows her craft."

Ellen

Brand: Conjuring Obscurity

"We were on the same page about everything.
It was like you* could see what I wanted even though I had no idea. You took my often scattered thoughts and ideas, laser-focused on the core of my designs/brand, and created something beautiful."

Deadly Brows style packaging

Andrea

Brand: Deadly Brows

"I was nervous in the beginning because I only had a general direction in which I wanted to take my brand but the details were muddy so I knew whoever I chose to create this brand had to be someone I trusted.
In the end my brand was a literal dream! I never thought what small vision I had could turn into something so incredibly beautiful.

Julian

Brand: Julian the 2nd

"Tarantula Studio was great to work with, so professional and really were able to nail down the ethos of my work. It was such a professional experience and honestly so refreshing from other graphic artists I’ve worked with in the past. I plan on coming to them again with other projects. Truly a luxury experience."

Velvet Myst brand logo

Lex

Brand: Velvet Myst

"Working with Tarantula Studio and better defining my brand identity was the best decision I made for my cosmetic tattoo studio. Everything is very professional and creative, which stands out from what is usually done and that everyone has. I can’t wait to continue our collaboration for my website!"

Christine Kipka

Brand: KIPKALINKA

"I am more than pleased to have found a designer who understands all the facets of dark aesthetics and holds the highest standards regarding design and quality. Her thoughtfulness about even our small project completely amazed me. I adore her patience and clear communication. I definitely found the best designer for my dark luxury brand."

Shannon Lieder

Brand: Oh the Horror!

"She listened to what I had in mind and went above and beyond my expectations!

She really helped me shape the image I wanted for my business. She was very professional and was a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Virginia’s talents enough!"

Mandy Boyd

Brand: The Floral Mortician

"I chose Tarantula Studio as they specialize in a dark aesthetic which is what I was hoping for to elevate my brand. I was looking for a designer that could take my vague ideas and turn them into something both beautiful and unique. Not only did they deliver but also presented the designs in a beautiful way. It's so helpful to get an explanation into the design process and how it gets tied back to the target audience."
