🔸 Expert-Vetted | Top 1% on Upwork 🔸 Published in Vogue, Elle, WWD, Teen Vogue 🔸 Adobe Featured | Hand-picked among the best in their field 🔸 Upwork Skill Certified in Brand Identity I don’t do branding. I do propaganda. Most founders come to me at one of two moments: right before launch, when everything is riding on first impressions, or after realizing the brand they built in year one is holding them back in year three. Either way, the problem is the same. A logo isn't a brand. A name isn't a strategy. And a business without a cohesive brand identity doesn't just look unfinished, it leaves money, credibility, and opportunity on the table. I'm Axel, a brand identity designer and naming expert with 20+ years of experience building brands that transform a founder's vision into lasting market value. I specialize in strategy-based brand identity for ambitious startups and scaling companies with their sights set on the top tier of their market, across lifestyle, hospitality, fashion, beauty, finance, food & beverage, health & wellness, and tech. ◼️ What working with me looks like: Before we make any creative decisions, we align on strategy. Who you are, who you're for, and what makes you impossible to ignore. Then we build: naming, verbal identity, visual identity, brand guidelines, everything your team needs to show up consistently, whether that's on packaging, a pitch deck, or a homepage. Founders who work with me walk away with a brand system built to grow with the business, one that commands the attention, credibility, and investment their work deserves. ◼️ Built for founders who are serious: My background includes brand identity work for Airbnb, PepsiCo, Ralph Lauren, Martha Stewart, Elizabeth Arden, and Sur La Table, in addition to the startups and early-stage brands I'm most energized by on Upwork. If you're launching, fundraising, rebranding, or scaling, your brand is either building your business or costing it. Let's make sure it's doing the former. Send me a message to start the conversation. ◼️ WHAT I BUILD ▪️ Brand Naming & Naming Strategy ▪️ Brand Strategy & Positioning ▪️ Visual Identity & Logo Design ▪️ Verbal Identity & Brand Voice ▪️ Brand Identity Design & Systems ▪️ Rebranding & Brand Identity Refresh ▪️ Creative Direction ◼️ HOW WE WORK TOGETHER ▪️ Every project starts with strategy. If you want someone to execute a brief, I may not be the right fit. If you want someone to help you think through what your brand should stand for and then bring it to life, we should talk. ▪️ I work on fixed-rate contracts for most brand projects. My hourly rate applies to consulting and advisory engagements. ▪️ A free 15-minute discovery call is recommended. This ensures we're the right fit before either of us commits. ▪️ I don't offer unlimited revisions. I follow a proven methodology designed to get it right. ▪️ The best outcomes come from founders who trust the process and bring their vision openly. The brand becomes yours, we build it together.

Your story is POWERFUL. Your copy isn't carrying it yet. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anne is an incredibly talented writer and editor and takes seriously the intent of the copy, not what any certain type of copy is supposed to sound like. Her willingness to listen and connect to my goals is such an asset to my projects!" Halley, Therapist 🚨 You know what you offer is valuable. You've tried to write it down, and something gets lost every time. Not quite right. Not quite you. Not quite what makes the right person stop and say, "This is exactly what I've been looking for." So you rewrite it. The version you have now is better, but you still wouldn't send a dream client there without a knot in your stomach. You're tired of copy that's technically fine but doesn’t move anyone. You're done handing your story to someone who treats it like just another writing project. Content that connects is written for a specific human in the middle of a specific struggle who needed to feel understood before they could feel convinced. 🎯 I'm a Narrative Intelligence Strategist. I bring the psychology, the audience research, and the strategic thinking that happens before the writing. So your ideal client arrives at your page uncertain, guarded, and then finds themselves thinking, "They actually get it." Audience and ideal client research so your messaging meets the right person where they are. Brand positioning and story development so everything you publish sounds like one coherent, trustworthy voice. Copy editing and story editing rooted in emotional intelligence so the draft that's almost right becomes the version you're proud to send anywhere. Three months from now, your website works while you sleep. Your launch lands with people who were ready to say yes before they finished reading. That's the work. 🚀 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Her writing connects emotionally with customers." Matt, AmeriTales WORK WINS 📈 Real estate listings. 78% sold in UNDER 10 DAYS. 100% sold within 30. Listing copy built around buyer identity, not property features. 📣 Local business feature. One story, written for the right reader. One weekend later, the owner felt it in his business. ⚡ Pre-launch service pages. Figma copy reviewed, restructured, and sharpened for conversion before launch. Positioning anchored to ideal client research. 🏆 Invited by The Daily Meal to join its Culinary Content Network. Based on the quality and consistency of published blog content. 🎯 Therapist website copy. Existing pages refined for clarity, emotional resonance, and audience fit. The kind of copy that makes the right client feel found. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anne is exactly what I need to write my memoir! Her style of writing is compelling and excellent." Jenna IS THIS YOU? ▶️ You're a therapist, founder, service professional, or someone with a story that deserves to be told, and you know your messaging hasn’t found its full impact yet. ▶️ You're willing to answer a few questions about your audience, your goals, and what you're trying to accomplish. ❌ You need high-volume content output on a tight turnaround with no discovery process. The discovery that shapes the work is brief, but it's non-negotiable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anne is one of the best copywriters I've worked with given her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She really tries to understand your business, tone, and online persona. I've already rehired her for another project." Farah, Real Estate Client WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE 🔍 Your website sounds like you wrote it for Google instead of for the person you want to help. I research your audience, map their emotional journey, and rebuild your messaging around what they need to feel before they trust you enough to reach out. ✍️ You have a draft, maybe several, and none of them feel right. I edit for structure, clarity, and emotional pull so the final version sounds unmistakably like you while resonating with your audience. 🎯 Your launch is fast approaching, and your positioning doesn’t feel solid yet. I do the audience research so the people you most want to serve feel seen from the first line. 📖 You have a story that needs to be told in your voice. Narrative content and memoir ghostwriting rooted in deep listening, careful voice-matching, and the patience to get it right. 🧠 Your brand sounds like everyone else who does what you do. I develop the voice, the language, and the positioning that makes yours the one people remember. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anne is emotionally intelligent, perceptive, and highly skilled. Her feedback was thoughtful, clear, and incredibly helpful." Kyla, KC & Co If any of this felt like someone finally put words to what you've been trying to solve, the next step is a conversation. Tell me what you're working on and where you feel stuck. 💬 Send me a message and let's chat. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Extremely competent. A top-tier freelancer I would strongly recommend." Rafael, Aon Data 🛡️Not sure yet? Start with my 2-hour money-back guaranteed trial. Zero risk.
