Our Services / Photography

Every custom project needs custom visuals to truly come to life. At 9 Lives Design, we take the reins on photography to ensure that every shot is in harmony with the brand's message, just like the various lives of a cat seamlessly align to create one cohesive story.

At 9 Lives Design, we've been breathing new life into brands since our inception in 2008. Every brand project is like a rebirth, and we ensure it has the tools it needs to thrive by delivering a style guide website that acts as a showcase for the new identity and allows for easy access to logo files on-the-go.

Our Services / Videography

Design is rarely static, especially in the digital realm. Dave Nighbor's passion for animation and interactive design led him to discover a love for videography. At 9 Lives Design, we embrace this added layer of complexity as a way to bring clients' visions to life. We welcome the challenge to elevate designs with motion and sound.
