made for you

unique, tailor-made branding that looks awesome, feels right and works hard for your business.

Tell me if any of this sounds familiar:

  • As an accomplished CEO, you’re primed for a strategic brand framework that streamlines decision-making.
  • Whether your current brand is non-existent or a disjointed patchwork accumulated over time, you’re now seeking the clarity and confidence that a well-defined brand brings.
  • As a visionary entrepreneur, you’ve built your business around what truly lights you up. Now, you’re poised to propel it to new heights, and want to have all of the brand pieces in place to help you take it to that next level.
  • You’ve always known the importance of a powerful and consistent brand in achieving the business and life of your dreams. Now, you’re looking to turn that knowledge into reality by partnering with a brand designer who can bring your dreams to life with precision and impact.
  • DIY branding isn’t in your playbook, and you’re well aware of the value of finding the perfect collaborator to transform your vision into a magnetic reality.

Here’s what life in your business could look like with a strong, strategic brand in place:

  • You’ll be able to walk tall into any business meeting, confident that your business is putting its best foot forward and makes a fabulous, legit first impression.
  • You’ll have a clear, defined brand vision for your business that helps you steer it and make decisions across design, messaging, marketing and more.
  • You’ll have a streamlined content creation process – with brand guidelines and brand assets in place, creating any sort of content or collateral is easy. No more wasting time picking fonts or colors, finding files, or figuring out how something should look.
  • You’ll feel energized and aligned with your business: lit up inside, pumped, and gaining momentum because it all feels right and there’s strategy behind it to help you reach your goals.
  • You’ll be able to build a loyal audience through a consistent online presence, which equals more reach and impact.

If you’re tired of:

  • Losing potential sales and opportunities because your branding is nonexistent and anyone viewing your online presence just sees a bunch of random things (not impressive, not building trust).
  • Being embarrassed to use your old logo or send people to an outdated or broken website.
  • Ongoing stress from working with less-than-ideal clients because you don’t have a clear, strong brand that attracts your dream clientele.
  • Constantly shifting gears because your marketing tactics aren’t ‘working’ when the real problem is the lack of a clear brand.
  • Feeling burnt out and drained by your business instead of lit up and energized by it.

And you’re ready for:

  • All the new opportunities that arise from showing up consistently now that you are proud of your brand.
  • More ease around business decisions as you have a core brand compass to help guide you.
  • Less frustration and overwhelm in managing everywhere your brand shows up: socials, collateral, website, etc.
  • Brand recognition that helps you build authority and credibility in your field.
  • The freedom and choices that come from leaving financial struggle behind and seeing real revenue growth.
  • The satisfaction of seeing your vision come to life and thrive.

It’s hard to find someone outside of the company who cares enough to help create a vision and handle the important branding aspects of a design project. That’s what we needed, and Amanda was able to be that visionary for our company while working as a consultant.

The project plan was laid out specifically and concisely, and she followed it, but was also able to be flexible where needed, researching and filling in the blanks around our ideas. I am very happy with her work for us and would easily recommend her services.

Visual branding wasn’t really something that was even on my radar at first. It wasn’t until I looked into more that I realized just how much a visual brand can have an impact on your business.

Having my visual branding done has made my confidence go to another level. I truly feel like it’s not only a fantastic representation of what I do, but I also feel like it makes such a better impression to potential clients.

I’m SO glad I decided to have Amanda craft a beautiful look to help me further establish my growing business.

She has taken Slackers to a whole new level and helped me understand my brand and business better than ever.

Testimonial Item

My brand was not easily portrayed visually, but Amanda captured it perfectly and it looks amazing!

She was really thorough, starting with a long and in-depth questionnaire that not only helped her understand my brand, but helped me understand it better. She was really communicative and collaborative too.

I 100% recommend Amanda!

About Me

Hi, I’m Amanda, resident brand and design nerd.

Crafting a custom brand that empowers you to transform your life and business to match your dreams is what I absolutely love to do.

I’m all about curiosity, transformation, focus, imagination, and order. It’s that unusual alchemy of creativity and strategy that gets you the kind of branding that will help you stand out and reach your goals.

My superpower is to clarify your big picture vision, distill that down to its essence, capture that abstract idea into visuals, and shape the visual story your brand tells. I turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I specialize in bringing clarity to messy braindumps and translating ideas into concrete visuals, in a way that is part brand strategy, part brand coaching, and part brand therapy. My clients leave our work together with clear minds and a feeling of genuine excitement for their next step in their business.

If you value freedom, challenge, and authentic expression, and want to feel that it’s possible to have a brand that truly captures your vision and feels like a perfect fit, that it’s possible for your core brand to lend clarity and direction to every other aspect of your business… then I’d love to talk, and hear more about you and your business.
