TIDE / SELECTIVE STUDIO ISSUE 002 / 2026
selective support, thoughtfully scoped

Custom help for
the work behind social.

Evidence-led audits, workflow and reporting help, and selective creative services for social media professionals and right-fit businesses.

Start with what needs help.

We're most useful when there's a specific question to answer, a workflow to organize, or a creative direction to sharpen.

What working together feels like

Clear before clever.

01

A defined scope

You'll know what we're making, what it costs, and what happens next before the work begins.

02

An honest fit check

If a smaller answer is enough, we'll say so. If Tide isn't the right fit, we'll say that too.

03

No inflated promises

The work connects to a real business need. We don't sell guaranteed virality, follower counts, or vanity metrics.

01 / Palm Coast Co.

Playful coastal branding, built to hold together.

A completed identity for an Etsy shop Tide worked with, spanning logo variations, a warm coastal palette, typography, graphic elements, and photography direction. This feature shows the finished output, not a sales or conversion result.

This website is part of the portfolio too.

The cinematic homepage, responsive experience, and interaction direction were designed and built as a live demonstration of Tide's web work.
