Build a Brand That Shines

(So You Don’t Have To)

Your brand should be the star—so you can get off camera and back to the work you actually love.

You Went Into Business to Do Great Work, Not to Compete for Attention

You started your business to coach, create, consult, or build something extraordinary. But somewhere along the way, you became your own marketing department.

Instead of shining in your craft, you’re stuck explaining what you do, justifying your expertise, and convincing people to hire you.

That’s not why you went into business.


Your brand should be the one in the spotlight—so you can get back to the work you actually love.

I Build Brands That Make You the Obvious Choice

A brand isn’t just a logo—it’s an entire constellation of elements that work together to tell your story, prove your value, and draw the right people in.

Brand Identity Systems

Cohesive, flexible visual identities—logos, colors, fonts, and all the pieces—that keep working no matter what bold move is next.

Strategic Web Design

Websites that explain your value clearly and confidently, so visitors understand why you’re the right fit—before you ever pitch them.

Ongoing Brand Partnership

Long-term creative support for the pivots, expansions, and experiments you’ll inevitably dream up.

Hand-
Drawn

Your brand deserves more than stock shapes and templates. I craft custom, hand-drawn elements that add warmth and personality, so every detail feels unmistakably yours.

Authentic (Not Trendy)

Trends come and go, but your brand should never feel dated. I design with depth and intention so your identity stays relevant without chasing what’s “in” this year.

Built to
Last

Your business won’t be the same two years from now, and your brand shouldn’t hold you back. I create flexible systems that adapt to new offers, directions, and ideas—without losing cohesion.

Designed for Experts Who’d Rather Do Great Work Than Sell It

  • The coach who wants to focus on transforming lives, not explaining why coaching works

  • The consultant who'd rather solve complex problems than constantly pitch their expertise

  • The expert who has deep knowledge to share but hates being "salesy"

  • The creative business owner making light-up hula hoops, artisan products, or anything wonderfully weird that needs a brand as unique as they are

Why I Build Brands This Way

I’ve never loved being the center of attention—but I knew my business needed to stand out. The solution? Letting my brand be the star while I worked behind the scenes.

Once I realized design could do the heavy lifting—making me the obvious choice without constant convincing—I stopped burning out and started thriving. Now I help my clients do the same.
