THE MAGIC SAUCE
Our Process
Each brand project is grounded in a proven process, from our initial meeting through final delivery. It’s the framework that helps us uncover strategy and build brand identities that feel both intentional and distinctly yours.

Meet the Duo


TWO FIRE SIGNS
Trout Design Co. is led by wife & husband duo Debbie and Tim Trout. Since opening in 2017 we have lent our talents to a variety of branding and design projects across the nation, and have continued our pursuit of helping brands showcase themselves through thoughtful design.





We use them to refine our strategy and translate it into visuals that everyone can get behind. 🧭
Here's a look at some of our past mood boards that showcase the inspiration behind our biggest ideas. 🧩
It's how we ensure every design element feels deliberate and cohesive. 🎯


Here’s a peek at my process for the poster for this year’s Christmas of a Dickens Festival in Franklin, TN. Every detail is intentional and crafted to support the story and experience of the event.
All aligned and brought together with a touch of Christmas charm. 🎄✨


We’re a creative yin and yang: I’m usually out front shaping ideas, direction and working with clients, while Tim works behind the scenes, adding thought, structure, and keeping every brand rooted in strategy and intention.🧠
What you’re seeing here is just a fraction of the work we’ve created over the years. Eight years in, and the work keeps getting sharper, deeper, and more aligned. Grateful for every brand we’ve helped build and excited for the ones we haven’t met yet.✨🔥

Have a story to tell? Let’s build the brand that brings it to life. 🎬


When we take on a brand, we don’t just jump into design, we start by diving deep to understand who our client is and the value their products or services bring. Every research insight, every foundational element, and every strategy is carefully mapped out before any visuals for the brand come to life. By the time we begin designing, we already have a clear picture and a complete set of ideas to showcase our client authentically. 🔎
This part of our process is what allows us to create cohesive, meaningful brand identities for a wide range of clients that truly resonate. ✨

The whole concept centers around the grass. It’s what makes Wimbledon Wimbledon. I wanted the identity to feel fresh but still rooted in tradition—crisp lines, bold greens, playful type, and little nods to the charm of the Wimbledon atmosphere (yes, strawberries included).

One piece of this experience is a logo mark, a simplified symbol or icon for a brand.
Logo marks are a small but impactful part of a brand identity and are meant to be scalable and easily recognizable.

Throughout the project we explored energetic visuals, a 3-D type exploration and multiple patterns for the brand, and wanted the work to feel like it was moving, and to jump out at you! Boompa’s guiding message of “Let the Wild Out!” meant every aspect of the brand needed to be confident and expressive to showcase and promote this soul and energy.
“Boompa is the exclamation mark when you land that new trick, make that goal or win that dance off. It’s claiming back that self confidence and not giving a flying fox!” - Koa

If you took away the logo, would people still remember and connect with the essence of your brand? It’s the story, values, and emotions behind the visuals that truly define your brand and resonate with people long after they’ve seen your logo.
If you’re ready to showcase your story, let’s make it happen! 💡✨
