Strategy-driven design to land your dream clients

As a fellow business owner, I understand how much you put into your business - how much time, energy, and how much of yourself.

That's why I believe in creating a strong foundation. My goal is simple: provide a comprehensive approach from the get-go so you aren't left filling in the gaps later - you have more important things to do!

At its core, business ownership is the combination of:
your dreams, your time, and your livelihood.

It deserves to be represented in a way that visibly reflects your passion & your drive.

The Process

01
discovery

Some of the best and most consistent feedback I get from clients is that I “read their minds” and created a brand that feels so perfectly “them.”

I could tell you it’s magic - but it’s actually the result of a dialed-in, thorough discovery phase. My tried-and-true questionnaire, moodboard, and behind-the-scenes research ensure the best designs - every time.

02
design

Cue the “OH MY!” and “HOW?” reactions because this is where the excitement happens.

We will review your three logo concepts together so you know the full thought process behind each.

This is an example of what you see in the first round of logo concepts - and trust me - it’s so much more than “just a logo”

From here, you choose the logo concept that you like best (aka the one your clients will love the most!).

We refine the details in up to two revision rounds.

04

FAQs

  • I don’t. I’ve spent years tweaking this process and the result is a tried and true approach that works every time. Anytime I’ve tried to cut corners it has resulted in a longer process, more revisions…and more frustration along the way for both of us.

    I understand starting a business comes with a long list of things (and expenses!). So trust me when I say - I wouldn’t exclusively offer this logo + brand approach if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe in it.

  • 4-6 weeks for branding, with an additional 4-5 weeks for websites.

  • Your 30% deposit holds your space in my calendar. In the interim, I send you a brand questionnaire that needs to be completed by your project start date. Other than that, get excited, dream about ideas, and soak up inspiration.

  • Currently no. I believe in a holistic approach and in my experience, I am able to best serve clients when we work together from a fresh start.

  • It is the perfect fit for the majority of small to medium-sized businesses. The days of Squarespace “templates” are long gone and you can achieve a high level of customization with a Squarespace design.

    It is intuitive enough to be user-friendly to beginner-level users, enabling you to make content updates on your own should you want to. Website off-boarding includes a tutorial for content updates so you will have all the basic know-how that you need.

  • Yes! All projects require a 30% non-refeundable deposit to hold your spot in my project calendar. Two additional payments of 30% will be collected, one with your project start date and the final payment at the end of your project.

    Because I typically book projects 4-6 weeks in advance of our start date, your deposit is non-refundable because I am reserving time to work on your project.

  • All websites include basic SEO set-up. SEO for your website copy is not included, and I suggest you discuss this with your copywriter.

    SEO has ever-changing rules and requires a time investment to see results. If you require ongoing SEO services I suggest consulting with an SEO expert.
