BRAND IDENTITY DESIGNCrafted visual identity systems.
Refined Presence.
Built to honor your vision and story
Small business owners are endlessly passionate, driven, and visionary, but often are too overwhelmed running their businesses to focus on their branding.
Never-ending tweaking of their DIY logo keeps them up late at night, and yet it still never looks quite right. If only they could execute their vision—or find someone who can do it for them.
more information What Does ‘Brand Strategy’ Actually Mean?
As a marketing professional, I know from experience that brands built on research and a deep understanding of target audiences perform better than brands based on trends + personal preferences. Because of this, my process begins with strategy as the foundation.
After onboarding, clients complete our signature Hearth Check, an in-depth questionnaire that walks you through key questions for building a strategy based on where you want your business to be as it grows.
I also audit your existing branding, and analyze your key competitors to build an understanding of where you sit in your market, what your key differences are, and how we can use them to help you stand out.
Together, we’ll discuss audience personas based on your ideal clients to better understand how your product or service addresses their fears and dreams.
These factors all come into play when I begin drafting your concepts, so that every design choice is rooted in research and reason.
“The strategy process was one of the most valuable pieces to working on our brand identity.”

FAQs
-
I only take on a few brand projects at a time, so each one gets my full attention. That means my availability shifts throughout the year, and the best way to know where things stand is to book a free call.
I’ll share my current openings, and once you sign, you’ll get a calendar with every milestone and due date mapped out. If you have a launch date in mind, mention it on our call and we’ll plan backward from there.
-
Brand packages are paid in two installments: 50% reserves your spot on my calendar, and the remaining balance is due after the concept is approved. Payment plans are available if spreading it out works better for you.
-
Truth be told, a lot of my clients come to me with a logo they’ve been tweaking for years. Sometimes there’s something worth keeping, like a symbol, a color, or a name your customers already recognize. Part of the Hearth Check and our Sit-Down call is figuring out what’s working and what’s holding you back. If something has earned its place, we build around it. If it hasn’t, I’ll be honest with you and explain why.
-
Every decision in your brand traces back to the strategy we build together: who you serve, what they care about, and what sets you apart in your market.
By the time I start designing, you’ve already approved the mood board direction, and my job is to find the one solution that ties all of that together. You’ll see it fully developed with real-world mockups, and your revision rounds are there to refine it until it feels completely like you.
-
Yes. Once your final payment is in, your logos and brand assets are yours.
Your Debut Kit includes every file you or your vendors will ever need, organized and labeled, plus tutorials so you can use everything with confidence.
The one exception is fonts. If you have approved paid fonts, those are licensed from a type foundry and are a separate charge. I’ll give you every download link and the list of the exact licenses you need. Read more about font licensing here.
