Branding makes business better.
full service brand strategy and design
Brand Blueprint
Start with more than a business plan — set up for a long-term relationship with your customers by developing the right brand strategy. A brand learns the true needs of its customers, and earns their trust through consistent messaging, visuals, and more. When people trust and like a brand, engagement improves naturally.
I’ve worked with clients who think the logo is their brand — and therefore needs to communicate everything about a business in one tiny package. It’s impossible to do, and closes off a world of creative possibilities. With a brand strategy, visuals are just a small piece of the brand architecture.
We’ll flesh out all the intangible qualities of your brand and create a structure that will give the business clarity and consistency.

Have questions?
How long does a Brand Blueprint project take?
In theory, a Brand Blueprint takes about 3 weeks. I book projects no less than 5 business days in advance to allow clients to complete their Discovery Phase homework. The Strategy phase is a day-long intensive that we book according to what accommodates both our schedules. The Design Phase allows for 5 business days. The Refinement Phase can be booked as one full-day or two half-day intensives. I do my best to accommodate tight deadlines, but project length can vary depending on response time and how closely we’re able to schedule the intensives.
Do you have an option for businesses that only need a logo design?
I think I can help businesses best by providing a holistic branding process that dives deep into the heart of a business. It transforms how businesses think about the people they serve. I don’t believe a business can be accurately represented with just a logo! If that sounds like more than you need right now, have you looked at my Brand Kits?
How many logo options are included in a Brand Blueprint package?
Every project presents different challenges. I present one or two design well-developed concepts as possible solutions for a brand’s visual identity. I’ve started implementing this method of brand design because I believe it results in higher quality choices for my clients. It helps clients to narrowly define the needs of their target audience, and it is energizing when they trust me to present a design solution that is attuned to their business goals.
How many rounds of revisions are included in a Brand Blueprint package?
My branding packages are priced to include refinement to one selected concept. We will work together to address any issues and tweak the best concept. If the client decides they want to pursue a different design concept entirely, we can book additional Design Day Intensives at the current rate.
Do you offer payment plans for branding projects?
Branding packages require a 30% deposit to book, with 40% due before the Design Phase, and 30% due before the Refinement Phase.
Do you offer design services other than branding?
Design Days are full or half days of one-on-one design time for established brands who need to outsource marketing projects.
