Wall of love for Arribada

I joined Arribada after a great chat with Natalie and Brandyn where I mentioned I was interested in serving more ocean brands through my website copywriting services. I'd lost some confidence and was feeling muddled over the best direction for my business. They were so encouraging about the idea of taking my brand ocean-focused that I knew I wanted to explore the idea with them. In Arribada, Natalie and Brandyn patiently helped me work out if going fully ocean-focused was right for me (which it was, yay!). Then they got super specific with me about how it might work, and what my first steps could be. Their mix of ocean passion and branding expertise was priceless as they obviously know first hand the transition I'm trying to make. They armed me with information and suggestions and encouragement to help me make it happen. If you have a business and you're passionate about the ocean, you won't regret taking the time to ideate and innovate with Tortuga. Guaranteed you'll come away with cool ideas to make your business even more aligned with your love of our beautiful blue planet. On a personal note, Natalie and Brandyn are kind, diligent, patient, wise and just generally lovely people! It was a pleasure being guided by them.

Thank you for everything Arribada offered! Such a powerful, yet simple and easily digestible, well thought-out workshop! Everything was done with such ease and flow. My biggest takeaway from the program was learning what my top 3 challenges in my business were and how to turn those challenges into opportunities! My enthusiasm kept building as I gained more and more valuable insight into finding ways to build impact outwardly and inwardly in my business.. loved every minute of it! Thanks again to the amazing Natalie & Brandyn!

I loved having this container to zoom out and reflect on my business. The process Natalie and Brandyn walked us through gave me a lot of new perspectives and helped me zero-in on a single area to work on that I know will make a big difference in my business and my impact!

A workshop to grow your business and your ocean impact? How could I resist! The activities were well thought-out, allowing me to dive as deep as I liked. Natalie and Brandyn were very responsive, and their thoughts and encouragement helped me get the maximum out of the workshop. I particularly liked how I simultaneously found myself with greater clarity on some things and a whole bunch of exciting avenues to explore. Crucially, the process also encourages us to hone in on one thing and think it through with actionable steps. I can't thank Natalie and Brandyn enough for putting this together. I have no doubt anyone joining this program will reap huge benefits.

I loved our Promosaurus logo before, but I knew I needed an outside perspective to help us pull our branding together to create something better! Although it was a bit nerve-wracking to let someone else take control of our branding, Natalie and Brandyn were super attentive and perceptive to my business. They crafted a brand identity that I love and helped me figure out how to visually express some key elements of our business in ways I hadn't even thought of! It also matters a lot to me, as a sustainable business, that I work with other sustainable companies, and Tortuga Creative Studio fits the bill. They understand and relate to my environmental values and didn't hesitate to work them into my brand redesign. They also adopted a sea turtle on our behalf, which was a fantastic bonus! I would highly recommend Tortuga Creative Studio to anyone looking for a solid brand redesign, and to work with an attentive, experienced, and down-to-earth company!

The Tortuga team designed my Bearfoot logo several years ago and it has stood the test of time. I still get comments all the time and people stop to look at it as it catches their eye! Tortuga does great unique work that is tailored to you and your vision! Highly recommended!

Natalie designed our campaign badge and I absolutely love the results. I had a pretty tight time frame, but she delivered plenty of options for me to select from anyway. I particularly like how clear outdoor and sea elements come through her work. I highly recommend hiring her studio for branding and design!

The beautiful examples of their work show creativity and a willingness to think outside the box. I love that they’re aiming to make a difference to the world at large, in addition to making a difference to the worlds of their clients.
