Kapriz
Mobile Grooming Design
A doorstep service, made easy to understand.
Kapriz is a self-initiated visual concept by Jo Designs Stuff for an independent mobile grooming business. The project explores how a friendly identity and practical customer materials can communicate the same essential idea: the grooming van comes to your home, and your pet is cared for inside the van.

Hero poster
The hero introduces the doorstep service through a recognizable wordmark, pet imagery and the van-window setting.
The brief: make “mobile” unmistakable
The concept was developed around a one-van operator serving suburban households, primarily with dogs and some cats. The design task was not simply to create an appealing pet brand. It was to explain what happens before, during and after a visit, without making the service feel complicated or impersonal.
The message had to work in two ways: establish a welcoming first impression, then answer the practical questions. What can I book? Where does grooming happen? What do I need to send? How does my pet get back to me?
Van application
The vehicle application places the service description and contact information beneath the wordmark. This is a concept mockup, not an installed wrap.
Service menu
Three service categories, a clear reading order and a quote-based pricing note keep the offer organized.
Mobile service guide
The guide makes the location of care explicit: inside the grooming van, just outside the customer’s home.
Warm personality, with room for information
A substantial retro-style wordmark gives the concept its visual anchor. Warm cream, olive, sage and restrained peach connect the materials, while pet imagery and neighborhood details keep the tone approachable rather than clinical or overly cute.
The information-led pieces use photo-style imagery and structured layouts. The appointment poster and card front take a more expressive, engraved-style direction: a towel becomes a winding road, and pet portraits carry the personality. The palette and wordmark hold these different treatments together.
Service design beyond the logo
The service menu separates Bath & Refresh, Full Grooming and Cat Grooming into three readable sections. Instead of invented fixed prices, a short note explains that quotes depend on the pet’s size, coat type and condition.
The booking guide follows four steps: request an appointment, the van arrives, grooming takes place inside the van, and the pet returns to the door. “Inside our van, just outside your home” is stated directly, so the concept is not confused with a groomer working in the customer’s bathroom.
Appointment poster
An expressive appointment poster turns a peach towel into a road, keeping the doorstep message central.
Door hanger
A neighborhood handout states the service, where grooming happens and where a customer would make contact.
Business card — front
The card front concentrates on the name, service and pet imagery.
Business card — back
The reverse switches to an olive field and a comb motif, giving appointment and contact details their own space.
One service, several useful formats
The eight individual designs cover seven material types: a hero poster, service menu, mobile service guide, appointment poster, two-sided business card, door hanger and vehicle application. Each format has its own job. The poster introduces the service; the menu organizes the offer; the guide explains the visit; the smaller pieces make the service and contact route easy to identify.
The vehicle mockup places the same identity in a residential setting. It is a concept visualization, not a photographed client vehicle or a production-ready wrap.
What the concept demonstrates
This study brings together art direction, service-information hierarchy and coordinated graphic design across digital and printed formats. Its aim is a recognizable, understandable customer experience. No booking uplift, sales results or customer testing are claimed.
