Brand designer helping founders and leaders own a visual identity that connects and converts. Most of my clients face one of three problems: - They've built a unique product or service, but their brand doesn’t reflect it. - They're ready to scale, but their current brand is dragging them down. - They're wasting time and money trying to work with pieces that don’t fit together. I fix these issues by building brands that are clear, memorable, strategic, and more importantly, deeply aligned with their purpose and value. My approach is simple: we start with strategy and end with a complete visual system that aligns with your objectives. My process: DIVE Discovery: Every project starts with a candid conversation about your brand. I ask deep questions to understand its essence, your audience, and what makes you unique. The goal is to understand your brand deeply and ensures we’re aligned before any design work begins. Ideate: I create initial concepts based on our discovery call and I present them in realistic contexts using photographic mockups. This helps you visualize the brand’s potential immediately. (I don’t use AI in my work. A brand that stands out needs to be human and real.) Visualize: We refine the chosen direction into a full identity system, including logos, colors, typography, and supporting graphic elements that work together as a system. Equip: You receive a complete brand kit with all final files and guidelines, ready for immediate use. Recent Wins: • Redesigned the brand for a first-of-its-kind Latino CDFI network spanning all 50 US states, matching the scale of their impact. • Created the viral brand for a former tech founder turned baker. They served the Dave Matthews Band and the cast of The Bear, and secured a year’s worth of orders in three days after a Wall Street Journal feature.
