“The icons created by Long Live Simple are integral to our brand and branding efforts. From day one, our clients now instantly recognize our various services because we always reinforce our messaging with logical icons. We include our custom icons on everything we possibly can – every piece of marketing material, on the windows and signage outside of our spa, and even on the walls within our spa. And of course, we reinforce our messaging within social media postings by including the icons whenever possible – so clients directly associate our spa with whichever service is being depicted.”

“I would recommend Carley at Long Live Simple to anyone! I loved the whole process, and that I felt from the beginning that she took the time to understand exactly where I’m coming from in every way imaginable. Her communication was excellent. I enjoyed the collaborative experience, and I appreciated she was able to show many varying options that all fit my brand’s identity, but from different directions. The whole process was natural and like growing branches off of a tree. It was so easy to trust her work, and she has a skillful eye for detail and design. I’m so very happy with the final products. I will recommend Long Live Simple to anyone looking for design or branding help.”

Working with Carley and Long Live Simple was so easy, creative, inspiring, and smooth. We are so grateful for Carley’s creative vision and attention to detail. Our market needed this freshen up so much and it has been so fun working and designing with the elements that Carley prepared for us. We will continue singing their praises!

Oakley Brewer, Director | North Asheville Tailgate Market

“Needing a business logo refresh recently, I was recommended to Carley by my web developer, who had seen her work on another project.

Carley and her skill set was exactly what I needed. Her work was prompt, offered a variety of choices, and expertly updated a 20-year-old image to modern standards very successfully. In addition to her graphics, she has also offered marketing advice and suggestions that are valuable and appreciated. It’s been great working with Carley and Long Live Simple.”

Cathy Gerson, Founder and Ceramic Artist | Cathy Gerson Studios

“What I love most about Carley is her cheerful friendliness. She’s very upbeat and kind, which put me at ease in a process I’d never been on this side of before. I loved her structured business processes, which not only made our work together clearer for me but made it obvious to me that she’s put careful thought into her work with her clients. There were charming personal touches and pleasant, generous surprises along the way that made the project fun. Her hand-lettering is technically skilled and beautiful, and it was clear to me she knew what she was doing as a designer. I’m very pleased with my finished branding and am happy to recommend Carley and her work.”
