MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
I’m passionate about design. Good design. Design that makes you think. Design that connects. Design that evokes an emotional response. I love to push boundaries and think outside the box. I love to create. To innovate. I love experimenting with new materials, ideas and processes, always striving to find new ways of approaching a problem, finding new solutions. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, but I am satisfied for having tried. I accept my failures as a part of the process, learn from them and move on. But when I am done, I would have created something that’s original and fresh. Design to me is like a journey, a process, and an evolution of form and ideas.
My process driven approach to design and ability to conceptualize as an artist is what sets me apart from other designers.
And guess what? Ochre Design offers a free 20-minute consultation to get things started. We’ll chat it up on Zoom and go from there. Let’s make your design dreams a reality!

A look into our featured projects
Website + SEO + BRANDING
DISABILITY ATTORNEY
One of our top priorities for the design was to not just design a website that was professional, and functional but the emphasis was on accessibility…since her target audience is people with disabilities.
We used a variety of techniques to ensure accessibility, including using clear and simple language, providing alternative text for images, and using high-contrast colors for text and backgrounds. We also installed an accessibility plugin so users could customize the website based on the user’s preferences.
WEBSITE + SEO + LOGO + BRANDING
JANELLE WOODLIEF LMT
Each element of the website was thoughtfully designed to align with Jenelle’s work as a bodyworker and LMT.
Firstly, we developed the logo and overall branding for the project. Then, we created a custom website complete with custom graphics that embodied Jenelle’s compassionate approach to healing.
And with our SEO magic, Jenelle’s website rose to Page 1 search results within just four weeks of launch, resulting in an increase in prospective clients and an improved customer conversion rate.
GOT QUESTIONS?
How long does it take to build a website?
We managed to whip up the whole shebang and launch it in just 5 weeks flat!!! Of course, it all hinges on how fast our dear client can provide us with those polished and pristine pieces of content and pics that really make their brand pop.
How much does it cost to design a website?
The answer isn't as straightforward as you may think. You see, website design costs vary depending on a few factors, such as the type of website you're looking for, how many pages you want, and whether you're selling products or offering services.
But don't worry, my friend - we're here to help your design dreams a reality. Reach out to us for a custom quote.
What about website maintenance?
We don't just design websites we also coach our clients how to maintain their website themselves - we toss it in with the price tag! But if there are any major changes that need to be made, we'll give you a custom quote and handle it all from there. And if the idea of website upkeep makes you dizzy, fear not! We're happy to take care of all of that for you with a flat fee. We'll make sure all of your plugins are up-to-date, your content is fresh and fabulous, and any other tweaks you'd like us to make. Call us for a custom quote!
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!
How long does it take to design a logo?
Anywhere from 7-8 weeks. It really depends on how quickly our client is able to fill out the questionaire and give us feedback!
Cost of designing a brand identity?
A custom logo with branding starts at just $2500! What does that get you? Oh, just a Primary Logo, Secondary Logo, Black version of both primary and secondary logos, White version of both primary and secondary logos, a 1-page brand board with all the deets you need on fonts and brand color values (think CMYK, RGB, and Hex codes), AND around 90 files to sweeten the deal. Yup, you read that right. Time to get excited!
Do you do SEO for websites?
Although we cannot guarantee results, we make a conscious effort to perform extensive search engine optimization when designing a website. Our approach includes optimizing images, conducting keyword research, and adding alt tags and meta tags. We take a comprehensive approach to ensure that the website is designed from scratch and seamlessly incorporates SEO. We do not offer standalone SEO services. You see, we design websites from scratch and weave all that search engine optimization magic right into the backend. That way, you get a killer website that's optimized from top to bottom. Who needs standalone services when you can have it all in one neat package, right?

Meet the Designer
Heyyy! I’m Malini. Originally from East India and now a proud resident of Portland, I used to love dancing in the rain until I found myself in the perpetually soggy city of Portland. But hey, life goes on! Besides rain, I have a deep love for herbal teas, Thai food, and all things design. Whether it’s interior design, product design, packaging design, logos, or websites, I’m all in!
Now, let’s get one thing straight: my name is NOT hard to pronounce. It rhymes with Panini. So, call me Malini, like Panini! And when it comes to pronouncing OCHRE…just say it with some Cardi B flair – Okurrrrrr!!! Lol. Why Ochre? I was a watercolor artist in India and Ochre was my fave color name. Also, it’s a sacred color in Indian culture, so there’s that.
So, there you have it! I’m Malini, the design enthusiast at Ochre {Art + Design}, and I’m here to bring your brand’s story to life. Let’s create something amazing together!
