Brand Design for Creative Small Business Owners Who Were Never Meant to Blend In
You've spent way too many hours trying to DIY a brand that matches your expertise, only to end up with something that feels... meh.
If this sounds all too familiar, you’re in the right place!
Let’s be real for a sec: your brand deserves better—and so do you!
Here's what I know about you: You're crazy talented at what you do. Your clients rave about your work. But when it comes to your own brand? You're stuck in DIY purgatory, piecing together logos from Canva and hoping something sticks.
The problem isn't your vision—it's that you don't have time to become a graphic designer and brand strategist on top of everything else you're already doing.
Here’s what my past brunch dates are saying… 🥰

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL, FRIEND.
You signed up to be a business owner, not a designer, digital marketer, or brand strategist…
✓ Your services command premium prices, but your visuals scream "budget option".
✓ You're drowning in the overwhelm of learning design software, color theory, and brand strategy.
✓ You feel invisible in your market—like you're shouting into the void.
✓ You've spent countless hours trying to create a cohesive brand, but it still feels disjointed and "off".
✓ You know you need professional branding for small business growth, but you're not sure where to start.
✓ Creating social media content is a struggle because you don't have a clear visual direction.

HERE’S WHAT THE BRUNCH DATES ARE SAYING
Still got some questions?
I’VE GOT THE ANSWERS!
-
Typically no, unless I designed them to start! I am building you something new & rooted in strategy. Trying to maintain your current visuals can hold back the creative process.
-
After our initial discovery call, you’ll only need to allow for about 30 minutes or so a week to work through the guided branding exercises.
You’ll also need to provide feedback during the process. Concepts are presented over Loom and dropped in your client portal for you to review at your convenience. -
Revisions are a normal part of the design process. I have detailed guides on how to give helpful design feedback to keep the process moving forward. Each project offers 2 revisions, which are rarely needed. If for some reason we need more, they are available through my hourly rate.
-
I specialize in design for creative entrepreneurs and service-based businesses. Think estheticians, therapists, hair stylists, coaches, jewelers, ceramicists, and artists.
If you’re passionate about your work and ready for personality-packed branding, we’re probably a great fit!
-
The House Recipe starts at $3,400. We’ll discuss your specific needs during your discovery call to determine the final investment.

Meet your ADHD & matcha-fueled design bestie
Being a small business owner changed my life. I went from underpaid and undervalued to having a job I felt genuinely excited to work on every day.
That's exactly why I'm obsessed with working on brand and web design projects for other creative entrepreneurs. I want to help you experience the independence and success that can come from small business ownership.
I've spent the last several years learning all the ins and outs of brand strategy, web design, and SEO. So I totally get the overwhelm of trying to wear every single hat in your business.
I love watching service providers go from their scattered DIY vibe to a “omg, I need to work with them” digital presence.
