Brand strategy, identity, packaging, and digital experiences for companies becoming more themselves.
The Copper Portico is an integrated creative practice for founders and teams whose business has evolved beyond the way it currently looks, sounds, or works.
We bring strategy, identity, packaging, and digital experience into one connected process. The result is work that shares a point of view from the first decision through launch.






Your strategy should inform your identity. Your identity should shape packaging. Your packaging should carry into e-commerce, product education, campaigns, and the everyday decisions customers experience.
When one team understands the whole picture, the work gains clarity, consistency, and momentum without sacrificing character.
Most agencies hand you off between departments. We don’t. Your strategist, packaging designer, and developer work as one team from day one—so nothing gets lost in translation.
No endless revision rounds. No misaligned vendors. Just clear direction, fast execution, and brand assets that are ready for retail and digital from the start.

Different projects need different levels of involvement. We can shape the brand from the beginning, build what an existing strategy requires, or stay close as an ongoing creative partner.
Strategy-led identity and packaging for consumer brands that need to be recognized on shelf, on screen, and in the hands of real people.
We build visual systems with enough character to stand apart and enough structure to grow across products, formats, and retail environments.

An integrated engagement for brands that need their identity, packaging, and digital storefront to arrive as one coherent experience.
From strategic foundation through Shopify design and development, one team carries the work across the decisions that matter most at launch.

A continuing creative partnership for growing brands that need their original point of view to stay intact across new products, campaigns, channels, and collaborators.
We set direction, guide visual work, and help each new expression remain connected to the larger brand system.

Some projects start before there is a defined brief. For strategic advisory and senior creative direction around an evolving business, visit Lilian Santini.
I am typically someone who is very stingy with recommendations. Lilian and her team are one of the few partners that I will without a doubt recommend every single time. From day one, she seemed to get exactly what we were doing, and it made everything super simple.
Lilian and her team have a solid understanding of the Vizcaya brand, so their recommendations and design work are on point. Communication is easy, requests get executed with very little back-and-forth or delays, and they've given us excellent suggestions to evolve and improve the brand through our review process.
If you’re serious about building something that lasts, you want The Copper Portico in your corner. Five years later, I’m still using my original branding, because it was built intentionally from day one and it still feels exactly like us.
I highly recommend Lilian and her dedicated, extremely talented team. Expect great work ethic, prompt responses, exceptional attention to detail, and an ability to translate your vision into a beautifully cohesive visual identity. Very happy with my final results.

You did a great job of checking in to make sure your vision aligned with mine. It saved a ton of time and rework because I knew exactly what I was getting before I even saw it—you felt two to three times faster.
