Hi there, my name is Chloe Looker & you’re looking at my graphic design portfolio. Thanks for stopping by!
One of my all-time favorite San Francisco shops, Perish Trust, asked me to redesign their logo. Together, we started by exploring new typefaces. After selecting the logo type, I started experimenting with indigo ink from Case for Making (which you can find at the shop). The inclusion of a hand-made mark connects to the shop’s history and ethos, selling vintage and contemporary, hand crafted items from local and not-so-local artists and makers.
I also consulted on their new website design, provding feedback throughout the process. Specifically, I selected the typefaces and accent color for the site. Check it out here.
Typefaces used Combine by Julie Patard, Bookmania by Mark Simonson, and HK Grotesk by Hanken Design Co.

Honey Honey, a small business out of Berkeley, CA entrusted me with creating the core branding system for their new venture. It was such a delight to collaborate with founder and artist Jessica Niello-White. After trading inspiration and fleshing out the desired feel for the brand, I created a logo system, chose typefaces, main colors, as well as created graphic elements which can be used in different ways.
You can see all of these elements in these selections from the brand guide I created. You can also check out the system applied (by other designers :) on the Honey Honey website and Instagram.
I’ve also included some images from sketches throught the design process.
Typefaces used Carta Nueva by My-Lan Thuong and Sharp Type, Ogg by Sharp Type, and Helvetica Neue by Linotype Design Studio and Max Meidinger.

I created a series of graphics for ICA Fund to showcase their core values through a social media campaign. Using ICA’s brand guide, I developed a series of six fresh and colorful graphics for each value, plus a title post. The aim of the campaign was to create something more playful while staying within ICA’s established brand.
Through the development of the series, I also created a template to be used for future campaigns showcasing the entrepreneurs they support.
I then extrapolated a series of plug and play design assets (the various cut out shapes) which ICA can use for future social media design needs.
Typefaces used Rational.

GRL GRP is a womxn run and feminist inspired design collective based in the Bay Area of California. Along with Ashlyn Jackson, I crafted GRL GRP’s brand identity and Rebecca Gardea and I designed and created our website.
So what is GRL GRP? It’s the collective design practice of Ashlyn Jackson, Abigayle Cosinuke, Rebecca Gardea, Meg Quarton, Sarah Chieko Bonnickson, and myself. Together, we encourage and inspire one another to make new work while gaining recognition for our work by sharing a platform. We strive to carve out space in the design worls for ourselves and have fun doing it!
Typefaces used Narly by Zuzana Licko, Azul by Mariela Monsalve, and Authentic Sans by Christina Janus and Desmond Wong.

California College of the Arts trusted GRL GRP to design the identity for their Spring 2022 Lecture Series. The series featured CCA alumni as part of every event, inspiring GRL GRP to lean into CCA’s heritage as a school for arts and CRAFTS. We focused on the relationship between craft and womens’ work, which led us to explore textiles, pattern making, and weaving. By blending digital and physical mediums, GRL GRP was able to create something new, yet familiar.
We started by taking images of household textiles and digitally altering them to create base patterns to work with. After two years of gathering digitally due to COVID, we wanted to create this identity off of the computer using physical making methods. We each made two posters (I made the main poster for the series and the one for the “Extimacy” lecture). I also helped construct the large woven posters with the help of two other GRL GRP members.
After arriving at this imagery and text treament, we applied them across promotional materials, both digital and physical including social media posts, Zoom backgrounds, and slide decks.
