Brand design that makes you unforgettable

Investing in branding is one of the most important decisions you can make for your business. In a busy market, standing out from your competitors has never been so important. Design can help communicate your business’s values, story, and personality which in turn will attract the kind of clients you really want and makes it easier to sell to. My brand packages will help you achieve all this and more!

  • This brand growth package will suit established small businesses and startups who

    • have outgrown or don’t like their current branding

    • want to charge more and establish expertise / unique offering

    • aren’t attracting their target audience

    • don’t have a clear direction and a feeling a bit lost on how to grow / move forwards

    • want to stand out from their competitors and make more sales / connections

The Process

  • Once you have signed a project contract and paid the first invoice you will be asked to complete an onboarding questionnaire that asks key questions about your business foundations, competitors, target audience, and long-term goals. You will also be asked to curate a mood board on Pinterest to share your brand vision. This allows me to see what styles resonate with you as a starting point to work from.

  • At the heart of the process is the time taken to understand your business - its ethos, goals, target audience, values, problems and messaging - to create a custom brand strategy that can act as a roadmap for every step of your brand’s journey.

    A β€˜discovery’ call at the start of the project lets us deep dive into every aspect of your business so that we are clear in our direction. We then put together a brand strategy document based on the information you provided in the questionnaire and our meeting to β€˜map’ out the design concept directions we will explore.

  • Once the brand strategy and design direction has been agreed upon we move into the design phase.

    This is the fun part where your brand is brought to life through a variety of logos (primary, alternate, icon, submark), custom colour palette, font pairings, patterns, and other relevant brand elements; carefully refined until it is just right.

    We build out each brand concept using a variety of mock-ups so you can see exactly how it will feel before you make the final decision. We find this helps clients to β€˜test’ a brand before they have to commit!

  • And finally the most exciting part of the project… Launch Day.

    You’ll receive all your design files in print and digital formats along with a custom brand colour palette, font selections and a brand style guideline document on how to use your branding where and when to ensure your brand is looking its best at all times!

    We even provide social media launch graphics so you can share your new branding with the world!

A QUICK INTRO TO

Strategic Brand Design
*(and why your business needs it)

I use the word strategy a lot in my business and for good reason. If you want real results in your business then you need a strategy on how to achieve that and, the same goes for design.

Your brand is often the first thing potential clients come in contact with so you don’t want to just leave it to chance and hope that they connect with your business, you need to give them tangible reasons. Using a strategic process I can supercharge your business with design to communicate your brand story, your business values and brand personality, and ultimately attract your ideal customer/client.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, branding is so much more than just the logo element. A strong brand identity that is cohesive and aligned comes together through strategy and design as well as a variety of elements including colour palette, fonts, copy, collateral, and logos. Having a complete brand identity will help align your business, give you the tools to grow, and help leave a lasting impression on your dream clients.

  • Generally, payments are broken into two or three parts, depending on the timeline. There is a 35% non-refundable deposit that needs to be paid upfront in order to secure your booking and the remainder can be paid in one or two equal payments during the project. Please note the final payment needs to be made in order to receive your new brand or website.

  • No. All deposits are non-refundable as it is my way of securing your spot in the queue. I book projects several months ahead of time, and scheduling ensures that I give all of my clients the proper amount of time that a project deserves. As a result, I turn away clients for your reserved time slot. If you back out of the project, you may leave an empty spot that could have been given to another project. The deposits ensure that clients are serious about moving forward with the project.

  • Yes, for existing and previous clients I offer additional design services such as social media templates, packaging, and other print materials. To enquire please reach out with details of your project so I can provide a price.
