Yesterday was my interview for the brand video.

People who know me know I’m comfortable talking about my work—but they also know I usually prefer to stay behind the scenes. So, I’ll admit, I was a little nervous going in. Beyond the absolute magic of turning my home into a video set, the experience was delightfully introspective. It pushed me to define what I do, who I do it for, and why I’m different. I boiled down processes, how I work with clients and why it matters to me. Watching myself on playback felt surreal, but good—honest and genuine and gave me a perspective I didn't know I was looking for.

Thank you to Workshop Media for going on this ride with me.

After the “Rising” outdoor campaign introduced .aesthetics to Wilmington, it was time to turn the page. The awareness was there — now we needed to connect on a deeper level. I wanted to remind Wilmington clients that they no longer had to make the drive to Raleigh for their procedures, and to speak to something more personal: the thoughtful, year-long journey many people take before deciding to move forward.

The idea came together in a simple, resonant message: “You’re closer than you think.” It speaks not just to geography, but to the moment when hesitation turns into confidence — when a big decision finally feels within reach.

Amelia Aesthetics: Dave, we need an outdoor board design announcing our new center in the coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina.

485: Great!

Amelia Aesthetics: Also, it needs to be a reveal. And no clinical images. No stock photos. No headlines. Really just use the logo. And the color blue...

485: Say no more.

Amelia Aesthetics: :)

The Provectus Alliance is redefining senior care in North Carolina. Their new logo features Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and War, over a shield—symbolizing protection, strategy, and leadership. The forward-leaning type conveys motion and progress, echoing the Latin meaning of “Provectus”—to move forward. A brand built on strength, knowledge, and a commitment to helping seniors thrive.
