Since 1985, Laura Coe Design & Associates in Point Loma has built brand identities and structural packaging for national and international CPG, biotech, and entertainment clients from its North Harbor Drive studio. The branding process begins with competitive visual research and extends through logo systems, packaging dielines, and product photography staged with local shooters including Canela Photography. Client engagements have spanned identity systems for the SALK Institute, structural packaging for Nestlé and Microsoft, and campaign collateral for Cobra PUMA Golf and TaylorMade-adidas. The studio blends graphic design with industrial-structural packaging development, producing custom dieline engineering, material selection, and press-ready mechanicals under a single roof. Brand-strategy engagements map competitive positioning and audience segmentation before any visual work begins, a front-end research discipline that aligns with the business-advisory approach at Simple Strategy. The most complex programs involve full corporate rebrands with simultaneous package-structure redesign, retail-environment rollout, and global brand-guideline documentation for multinational distribution.
