Carolline and Sofia founded Cobalt & Sapphire in 2017 while attending The Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. It was friendship at first sight followed by business partnership soon after. What started as a side hustle to raise money for a grad trip very quickly turned into a passion that both Carolline and Sofia pursued full-time upon graduation. Since then, Cobalt & Sapphire has moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles and now serves clients nationwide.
At Cobalt & Sapphire, we treat your business as if it were our own. We are committed to learning the ins and outs of your business in order to get an in-depth understanding of your brand and create a final result that leaves a lasting impression. Creativity coupled with a well-devised and tested approach to content, we can help you catch and sustain a loyal following.
The Founders
Carolline Holanda
Hi there! My name is Carolline and I live & breathe digital design. Whether I’m creating a website, taking a picture to post on social media, or doodling on my iPad, you best believe I’m paying attention to every fine detail. When I’m not glued to my devices, you can find me tanning at the beach, shopping for stationery, or sipping on a spicy margarita with Sofia 😉
Sofia Nikssarian
Parev! That’s “hi” in Armenian. Sofia here and I’m the other digital designer that makes up Cobalt & Sapphire. I specialize in high-quality content creation for businesses and am incredibly passionate about delivering an end product that wows. When I’m not creating, I’m either learning a new recipe, binge-watching the latest show, or trying the latest LA eats.
What our clients say about us
“For the last two years, I have given my marketing needs to Cobalt & Sapphire. Here’s why:
– Timely and Responsive! When I am excited to launch a new marketing campaign, I do not want to wait weeks for it to happen. With C&S, it only takes days…sometimes, only hours!
– Through asking me important questions, they understand what I am trying to accomplish and what is important to me and my brand.
– Talk about being patient! I know I will get the end-product that I am looking for because edits and revisions are not a problem and with a quick turn-around.
Thank you, Sofia, and Carolline for making my marketing dreams a reality. I appreciate all you do!”
Hands down one of the smartest decisions I have made as a small business owner was hiring Carolline and Sofia (Cobalt & Sapphire) to manage my social media and create my website. My biggest fear was whomever I hired wouldn’t be able to convey my passion and commitment to helping people see and look better. Boy was I wrong! They have far exceeded my expectations and amaze me with their creativity. They are smart, confident and fearless young women and I am glad they are on my team!!
“I chose Cobalt & Sapphire to design my website because of their passion for helping people. Their tangible skills are excellent, but the depth with which they care for their clients is what drew me to them. While working with the team, they made every effort to ensure my voice and strengths came through in every element of my site. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
