People & Purpose
Beyond the bustling mercados in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, waits a fresh alternative to the city’s traditional mainstays. To bring to life this boutique hotel’s old-meets-new aesthetic—its textured architecture and Aaron Rambo-designed interiors, its turn-of-the-century Spanish comfort and modern amenities—we developed a flexible brand system that spans print, digital, and environmental asks, and warmly invites travelers in.

A few years later, we helped the Amparo team develop a sub-brand for the all-day cafe and bar they introduced on the premises. Named after the owner’s red-headed, red wine-loving grandmother, Margaret, it nestles cozily within the parent system.
