Frequently Asked Questions
-
As an established brand strategist, I can’t in good conscience only design a logo for you.
To be frank, this is really poor practice! It will work against you and your credibility if your business has a logo that doesn’t visually match the rest of your marketing and communications.
You deserve a strategic system that works for you, not against you.
-
Of course! I offer a monthly payment model for the Brand World builds, and split payment for the Brand Reliquary offering.
The reason I’m in design is to make you money. It’s against my entire philosophy to be another financial burden on small businesses.
I highly value payment flexibility as an owner myself, so I’m happy to offer it to other founders.
-
I consider AI a very helpful administrative assistant, but a terrible brand strategist.
When I’m stuck on a visualization I might generate an image as more creative fuelling, but it is never the finished concept. It has sometimes helped me in the process, but rarely delivers something high value that I’ve kept in a final delivery.
If it makes sense for the project and the client is open to it, I would use AI to visually communicate a creative direction I have in my head.
But so far, I haven’t had to.
-
I offer two types of brand design services that vary in length depending on your project.
The Brand Reliquary is an efficient, smaller visual identity system that takes 3 weeks to craft.
The Brand World is the comprehensive experience of designing and building a full brand, which typically takes 12 weeks or more. This can vary depending on the project!
Once we meet, I’ll be able to offer a specific estimate.
-
Yes! Some of the most fun projects are one off design services. Such as labels, custom Christmas cards, stickers, signage, social media templates, etc. etc.
Because brand design is the focus of my work, I have a small budget of time each month for these projects.
Contact me with your idea and I’ll see if we can make it happen!
-
No! I work with early stage ideas, as well as full established & operating businesses.
Whether its half-baked or fully fleshed-out, if you’re already talking to people about your idea or hoping to soon, you already have a brand.
Your brand is what people feel, even before they see.
It’s likely your business already has a brand, but it might not be what you want or hope for for the future, and it might lack strategy.
Come to me with your vision and dreams, and we can build it from the ground up, together!
