Rapid KC branding
Rapid KC branding
The Jewel of the Road
Establishing a transportation company from the ground up is a formidable challenge, one that Rapid KC has embraced with determination. As a multifaceted intermodal logistics company, Rapid KC seamlessly integrates import/export services, fumigation, transloading, and brokerage under one roof. When they approached Lagom Design, their goal was to create a brand identity that clearly communicated their comprehensive and efficient process.
Inspired by their commitment to clarity and client services, we developed a brand that embodies these qualities through a distinctive jewel icon, symbolizing their crystal-clear communications and streamlined operations. The two-tone letterforms, reminiscent of polished chrome, reflect the sleek and modern nature of their services. The result is a cohesive and striking brand identity that Rapid KC proudly stands behind.
Smith & Boucher branding
Smith & Boucher branding
Evolution Over Revolution
Smith & Boucher, an MEP engineering firm, urgently needed a refreshed brand, as their existing assets dated back to the early 2000s. Their logo appeared outdated, and its colors were challenging to reproduce. Lagom Design embarked on an in-depth exploration of the company’s rich 50-year history to find authentic inspiration.
We unearthed a timeless Bauhaus-like ligature from the 1980s and seamlessly paired it with modern typography. Adding a touch of history, we incorporated a quirky ampersand from the company’s earliest documents. The result included a refined color palette featuring slate grey and energetic orange, embodying both sophistication and dynamism.
Collaborating closely with Smith & Boucher’s principals, we developed stationery, graphics, and templates that are not only visually stunning but also easy for their team to implement. The new brand now reflects Smith & Boucher’s storied past while projecting a vibrant, contemporary image.

Inspired by the simplified name, we designed a streamlined logo that embodies both seriousness and innovation. This new visual identity reflects the firm’s commitment to top-tier legal services.
The result is a cohesive, powerful brand that reinforces Van Osdol’s position as a leader in the legal industry, poised for future success. This project exemplifies our ability to blend tradition with modernity, creating a brand that resonates with the firm’s history and future ambitions.

The River Market Community Association, a group of business leaders and residents of Kansas City’s original neighborhood, wanted a comprehensive refresh of their branding to better represent their vibrant community. They turned to Lagom Design to rejuvenate their logo and website, capturing the unique essence of this beloved area.
Drawing inspiration from the distinct street grid, set at an angle from the rest of downtown, and the eclectic personality of its residents and businesses, we crafted a brand identity that reflects the dynamic spirit of the River Market. Our design approach celebrated the neighborhood’s rich history while infusing modern elements.
The flexible logo and branding embody the character and charm of the River Market.

Lagom Design crafted a design that highlights their extensive portfolio and professional environment, presenting RIC as both an industry leader and an attractive workplace. To enhance user experience, we integrated subtle animations, ensuring smooth and engaging transitions between pages. This strategic redesign not only improved navigation but also guided viewers seamlessly to their desired information.

Alma Mader Brewing website
Alma Mader Brewing website
Approachable and Knowledgable
Alma Mader Brewing is a husband-and-wife-owned brewery on the West Side of Kansas City. They have built a loyal following with their award-winning beer, friendly and approachable staff, and welcoming tasting room. When Nick and Tania Mader approached us about a new website, they had certain goals in mind. Alma Mader needed a new, online front door that is welcoming to new visitors and regulars, setting the tasting room as a destination for those seeking a relaxing venue to enjoy an every-changing variety of IPAs and crisp lagers.
We started with the structure of their brand as a foundation and constructed a custom-built WordPress site to meet the needs of a small brewery. The beer list, which changes weekly, is auto-populated and regularly updated from their separate e‑commerce site, so information never has to be entered twice. Events can be added with a front-end form. And there’s a secure Madera Membership area for exclusive bottle releases and chat for members of their rare beer club.
Te Deum website
Te Deum website
Te Deum is a professional vocal ensemble devoted to creating transformative, sacred musical experiences in Kansas City. We crafted a dynamic website that reflects their artistry while making it easy for visitors to explore concert details, purchase tickets, and support their mission through clear calls-to-action.
Designing for a musical group is a unique challenge: the goal is to capturing the emotional resonance of live choral music in a strictly visual medium. We focused on the qualities central to a Te Deum performance: awe, mystery, and elegance. The result is a website that feels immersive and refined, helping more people connect with the power and purpose of their music.
Kansas City Catering website

A Fresh Website
Kansas City Catering approached Lagom Design with a twofold goal: to create a website that puts their food front and center and make sure it is easy for visitors to get in touch. As an established caterer for everything from corporate lunches to elegant wedding receptions to enormous convention spreads, they needed a site that highlighted the visual appeal and quality of their cuisine.
We designed a friendly website that features colorful photography of beautifully prepared dishes, allowing the food to speak for itself. Just as important, we made it easy for prospective clients to contact the sale team. With integrated live chat, short inquiry forms on each page, and clear calls to action throughout, the site supports multiple channels of communication. The result is a website that’s as polished and professional as the catering service itself.
