“I don’t just design logos—
I build brands with clarity, strategy, and impact.”
Your business deserves more than something that simply looks beautiful. It deserves a visual identity rooted in purpose and designed to connect.
Strategy First
With a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, certifications in Marketing & Advertising, and experience as an in-house designer at a marketing firm, I approach every project strategically. I research your competitors, define your audience, and clarify your positioning—because a brand without meaning is forgettable. A strong strategy is what makes your brand stick.
Intentional Design
With over 12 years of experience, I transform strategy into refined, minimal, and timeless visuals. Every detail is intentional, and custom elements ensure your brand feels yours uniquely—never generic.
If you’re ready for a brand that not only looks elevated but truly represents your value, let’s build it.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Working with a brand & website designer is a big step—especially if you’ve never done it before.
My goal is to make the process clear, collaborative, and results-driven.
My approach includes six phases: inquiry, welcome, homework, strategy, design, and launch.
Each step is intentional and requires your time and participation. Through guided exercises and research, we gain a deep understanding of your industry and target audience—because strong brands aren’t built on visuals alone.
If you’re ready to invest the time and effort, we’ll create more than just a pretty logo—
we’ll build a brand that truly connects and helps your business grow.
THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL COLLABORATION
PHASE ONE
INQUIRY
This will be an opportunity for you to tell me a little more about you and your brand, mission, goals, and expectations. You'll also get to know a little more about me, my services, and how I can help you achieve your brand goals.
PHASE FOUR
STRATEGY
After reviewing your homework, I will come up with a few concepts for your brand. I’ll present my ideas for the overall aesthetic of your new brand, to ensure we’re moving forward with a united vision.
PHASE TWO
WELCOME
After the inquiry phase, I’ll respond to you within 1-3 business days with details, open start dates & more. If you decide to move forward, you’ll receive a contract & invoice to secure your spot in my calendar.
PHASE FIVE
DESIGN
At this stage, I will create your brand identity including your logos, graphics,
collateral pieces, and website!
Once you give approve your brand identity, brand collaterals & website design,
I’ll start prepping your final files for launch.
PHASE THREE
HOMEWORK
After the initial deposit is paid and a contract is signed, I’ll send you questionnaires and worksheets where you will dig deep into the heart of your business to build a strong foundation for your brand.
PHASE SIX
LAUNCH
Once the final files are prepped they will be handed off to you. Now it’s time to share your new brand & website with the rest of the world! Upload your new brand & website on social media and print your collaterals.
the Philosophy
Your brand should feel as premium as the services you offer.
I specialize in strategic, elevated branding and websites for beauty and wellness entrepreneurs, influencers, and founder-led brands who are ready to look established, credible, and intentional.
Every project is guided by clarity, restraint, and strategy — no rushed timelines, no endless revisions, and no guesswork.
