White Pumpkin
Shannon Penisten | West Branch & Coralville, IA
THE SCOPE: THE SIGNATURE BRAND
THE VIBES: WARM - INVITING - TIMELESS
THE INDUSTRY: BOUTIQUE/RETAIL
Shannon brings a bold and joyful perspective to her work at White Pumpkin Studio, a boutique rooted in fun, warmth, and community. Known for its paper party goods, curated gifts, and one-of-a-kind finds you won’t see anywhere else, her shop turns ordinary moments into magical celebrations. Her vision is all about creating a space where people can discover unique, joy-filled touches that make every gathering feel special and unforgettable.
White Pumpkin Studio came to us ready for a full refresh, and we built out a new brand through The Signature Brand Experience. Together, we created a bright, whimsical identity filled with playful typography, layered tones, and lots (and lots) of pink. Every detail was designed to capture the boutique’s warm, joy-filled energy.
To bring the brand to life beyond the screen, we designed custom illustrated signage and decals that make each storefront just as fun and memorable as what’s inside. White Pumpkin now has two locations — their original shop in West Branch and their brand-new space in the Iowa River Landing in Coralville, Iowa — both bursting with personality and color.
The result is a vibrant, pink-forward brand identity that reflects Shannon’s vision and positions White Pumpkin Studio as the go-to destination for unique gifts, party goods, and all things joyful in Eastern Iowa.

The absolute best! I just told Lexi how I wanted the brand to feel and that there needed to be pink and she knocked it Out. Of. The. Park. Everything that was in my head just came to life!

Having a fully laid out brand that I love has made getting the business off the ground so easy! I am able to create cohesive contracts, vision boards, and more that look so professional thanks to Lexi!

![🥹 Guys I want to cry about this one -
To kick off this sappy caption, Molly is an absolute rock star of a human being and I am 100% a better person because of her 🤍
@bookkeepingbymolly has been an internet friend of mine for about a year now and I straight up just asked her one day that when she was ready for a rebrand, if I could do it for her.. and ofc, she said yes 💍
Throughout our friendship and time working together she has let me: email her late-night (bcuz working moms lol), take creative control, and allowed me to just be so authentically myself.
(If you guys saw our DMs you’d think we’ve been friends for decades lol.)
She is such a hard worker, an amazing mom and a fantastic business owner. If you’re looking for bookkeeping, please inquire on her website 😉
All of this to say, I’m so proud to be this little piece of her journey and I can’t wait to watch her keep kicking ass 🤍
www.bookkeepingbymolly.com is now live everywhere 🥰
Love you to bits, Molly 🤍
[I hope to do another post soon on what went into this logo suite, but I just adore the concept of taking a business owners messy books and untangling them to where they can make empowered decisions.]
