For businesses who want their distinct value known—without conforming to any expectations.

Your brand can be the anchor that validates your authority, intrigues your people, and unifies all your marketing efforts.

Sooooo why does your branding keep ending up on the back-burner?

After years of marketing my own business, I get how easy it is to neglect our brands. The pressure to deliver and sell offers consistently seems to get in the way of digging deeper into what your brand is communicating behind it all.

But if you know your visuals aren’t expressing your value right now, there’s a good chance that’s making it harder on you to sell—and anyone else on your socials or website aren't getting the full picture either. Thankfully, even if you’re not liking what’s being seen (or not seen) at the moment, you get to change that. 

Your brand has the power to emotionally shift their entire perception of you. 

And it’s my honor to help you finally make this your main priority.

Solutions for brands at any stage

I'm Kristina

Creative Brand Designer & DIY Educator

If you’re open to exploring outside-the-box creative ideas, I’m so there.

Whether I’m crafting the creative direction for a brand client, tutoring a student through choosing colors, or designing an email banner in an Intensive, I don’t hold back when an unexpected gem of an idea comes to mind.

I’m all for exploring unique ways to express the themes and emotions behind the brand.

But my process may not be for you if you’re looking for a done-in-a-day turnaround or check-it-off mentality. All of my offers intentionally give ample time & space for creative ideas to take shape, and it’s common to book start dates 1-3 months in advance!

Your brand needs to

express

itself.

Quit toning it down and hiding in the shadows. Gems are meant to be seen and celebrated.

So if you’re misrepresented by your branding (or lack thereof), let’s get this hidden gem out of hiding and into the light.
