Branding looks different for everyone.

That’s why I tailor my design services to what is needed for each individual client. As an artist, I use my knowledge of symbolism, color, and story-telling to transform the many facets of a business into a singular and beautiful concept designed to attract the right people. My design aesthetic blends modern and classical art techniques with digital design tools to define and refine that inexplicable something behind what you do, and why you are here.

Art and organic branding

There are many ways to brand a business. What makes my approach unique is that it is rooted in art. Good design starts with good assets and, unlike most designers and agencies, I create those assets from scratch - real paint, real paper, real texture. The result is a brand that feels real because it is real. That realness cannot be computer generated and that is what sets my work apart. My art and my design are one and the same.

good branding makes you look like a pro.

… even if you’re still in school. Whether you’re in high school theatre or the CEO of a company, branding can determine whether or not you are taken seriously by your clientele and competitors. Why? Because good design communicates more than what you do. It communicates how you do. It is your visual handshake, and it says a lot about you. Good branding generates a sense of authenticity and helps build your audience’s trust. It is the picture that says a thousand words.

Small business is a big deal.

From one entrepreneur to another, I commend your courage and strength to walk your own path. It takes a lot of effort to bring an idea into the world. In my experience, I have found that the branding process refines not only the look of one’s work, but also the expression. Together, we will create a brand that uplifts and inspires you and your clientele.

Be bold and speak from your heart.

Being authentic is the key to sustaining a powerful brand. Which means, I want to know you. I want to learn from you and I want to transform your wisdom into a unique design that helps you share your gift with others. Every aspect of marketing is an opportunity to the reach people’s hearts.

 

One small piece of paper has the power to inspire positive growth in others.

That’s the type of branding that I am about.

design tells a story words can’t.

Whether the design is for an actual story or not, the imagery associated with your work is the first message people receive and it is important not to underestimate the power of that transmission. You can have an amazing business, but if your branding doesn’t carry the same punch, connecting with the right audience will be much more challenging.
