Meet the Residents of the Newest Facility in Grand Blanc

E mployees and residents of the Bella Vita Senior Living facility in Grand Blanc truly love the place where they work and live. Bella Vita enriches the residents ’ lives with nature, art, music, a movie theater, entertainment and wonderful food in a safe and secure atmosphere.

“ Our family-orientated care environment allows us to provide individual care plans for our residents, so each resident gets exactly what they need, ” Mary Ketterer, executive director, explains. “ Not only do the residents and their families enjoy the beautiful environment, our staff does as well! ”

The resort-style, state-of-the-art facility quickly gained residents when it opened its doors earlier this year. Bella Vita is excited to announce it is building another new facility in Hartland, on M-59 just east of U.S. 23, which is slated to open in the summer of 2019.

Eastown Distributors

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.

Elevating the Tanglewood Brand At Behind Your Design, we believe good design should do more than just look pretty - it should connect, inform, and support the people it's made for. That’s why partnering with Tanglewood Assisted Living has been such a meaningful project for our team. As a trusted support system for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Tanglewood Assisted Living sought refreshed branding that reflected clarity, compassion, and consistency.
