Designer Laura Kuhn is a creative force in New Orleans culture. We caught up with Laura to dish on Krewe of BOO!, dream floats, and how New Orleans fuels her endlessly imaginative, spooky, and spectacular world. When it comes to blending the eerie and the elegant, few do it better than Laura Kuhn. As the creative force behind design firm Midnight Boheme and the longtime designer for the New Orleans Krewe of BOO! Halloween parade, Laura has built a career on turning imaginatio

At Midnight Boheme, design is more than visuals—it’s storytelling with style. Whether you're building a new brand from scratch or refreshing a legacy identity, we create bold, beautiful design that connects with your audience and drives results.

Graphic Design is a creative field; therefore the design process is not an exact science. But following these simple steps will create the best collaboration between a client and a designer to ensure a smoother production and make your project a top priority.

Running a boutique design studio means juggling more than just creative ideas and color palettes. We’re part artist, part project manager, part strategist—and let’s be real, part magician. But instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, we’re pulling beautiful, functional, brand-building visuals out of our carefully curated toolkit.

In a world where massive agencies flash slick reels and mile-long client lists, it's easy to assume that bigger means better. But for many businesses—especially growing brands with heart, soul, and vision—the real magic happens when you go boutique. At Midnight Boheme, we proudly embrace our scale. We’re not a corporate giant—we’re a creative force of strategic thinkers, intentional designers, and hands-on collaborators.

Building a brand in New Orleans isn’t like building one anywhere else. This city hums with history, vibrates with culture, and throws personality into every plate of food, every storefront window, every conversation on the corner. At Midnight Boheme, we know that branding for local businesses isn’t about trends—it’s about translation: turning your authentic voice into visuals that resonate with your audience and reflect the soul of the Crescent City.

In the wild world of small business, design is often treated like dessert: something sweet to enjoy after the heavy lifting is done. But here’s the truth—design isn’t the cherry on top. It’s the plate, the fork, the presentation, and yes, the reason someone chooses your dish over all the others.

Working with a boutique design studio isn’t like hiring a giant agency. And thank the creative gods for that. At Midnight Boheme, you don’t get passed around departments or handed a template with your name slapped on it. You get strategy. You get soul. You get style that’s unmistakably you.

Why Good Design Isn’t Just Pretty—It’s Powerful—And why your cousin’s “free logo” is costing you more than you think. Let’s clear something up real quick: design isn’t decoration. It’s not the glitter you throw on your business after the “real work” is done. Design is the work. It’s how your brand speaks before your mouth does. It’s your first impression, your digital handshake, your visual vibe check. And when it’s done right? It’s downright powerful.

Let’s get one thing straight: at Midnight Boheme, we don’t just “make logos.” We conjure visual identities. We distill your brand’s soul into color palettes, typography, and layouts that whisper (or shout!) your story before a single word is read. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter design, keep scrolling. If you want a brand that saunters off the screen with confidence and charisma—welcome home.
