Mariposa means “butterfly” in Spanish, and it is also the name of the street I lived on as a child in Hollywood, California. The butterfly has always felt connected to the experience of owning a business… always growing, evolving, and transforming.
Whether creating a new identity, refreshing an existing brand, or designing printed pieces, each project is approached with clarity, care, and attention to how your business is seen and remembered.
