Process Details

01

Brand Strategy

We deep dive into strategy to shape your messaging, visual identity, creative direction, and website to elevate your personal brand into an expert-driven platform.

This entails defining your foundational messaging, audience, core values, mood, sales strategies, and more during our 1:1 Brand Strategy session.

Visual Identity

Your brand is more than just a logo. It’s an intricate visual ecosystem that frames the vibe and essence of your brand.

In this phase, I’ll create a custom visual identity, comprising a harmonious collection of visual elements that not only defines the visual side of your brand but also distinguishes it from others.

You can also explore a range of ready-made Brand Collections. Get in touch to learn more.

03

Creative Direction x VIP Content Day

Dubbed “Oh! Shoot“, in a dynamic day we’ll generate fresh photo and video content tailored to your brand. Collaboratively, we’ll craft stunning visuals that authentically showcase your journey and captivate your audience, sparing you the need to handle all the details and oversee the visual team independently.

This exclusive session guarantees that every element of your brand’s visual story harmonizes effortlessly with your overall vision and goals.

Website Development

Instagram is not your website.

In the final phase, we’ll bring your brand to life online through the development of a custom WordPress website. Your new digital home will serve as the cornerstone of your brand’s online presence, facilitating growth in impact, reach, and authority.

The creative direction for my brand photo shoot (during a whole pandemic!) was a masterclass in how to get things done. The people Toni pulled together for the team were each high-quality creatives and also just GOOD PEOPLE. I like feeling very comfortable with people who will be working with me on creative projects and that team she built was top-notch and full of magic. The energy of that day was fantastic. From the virtual styling session to the custom set design – understanding all the assets that needed to be produced and staffing the session appropriately to be able to produce them – that shoot was strategic and tight. Toni modeled for me how to make things happen and how to bring a vision to life.

faqs

Can I get just a logo or social media design?
I partner the best with women entrepreneurs who believe in a strategic and holistic approach to brand development. Projects are a collaboration where we start with deep strategy to form a strong brand foundation that prepares your brand for the best authentic designs.

Based on your vision, we create messaging and visuals that support the brand long-term. A logo is only a piece of a bigger brand puzzle. Without the other brand pieces, like messaging or social media assets, your audience won’t get the full picture of who you are and why they should hire you.

How do I prepare to work with you?
Once the formalities have been handled, we’ll have a Brand Therapy session where we prepare our minds for branding. We’ll then have Design Planning Q&A where we discuss your brand direction and website functionality. We’ll use Pinterest to curate your brand mood, assets, imagery, etc. that’ll inform your creative direction.
Do you offer website maintenance?
At my discretion, I offer quarterly website maintenance packages only for websites that I design.
What if I don't need the entire process?
OK! I’d love to hear from you to discuss your needs, vision, and goals. Book a Clarity call to initiate a chat.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yep! I know investing in your brand is a huge step, so I have payment plans to make it easier to absorb the cost. I offer 3-to-6-month payment plans. Your project, however, will remain open until the balance is paid.
What is Brand Therapy?
Brand Therapy is a special informal luncheon session where we catch a vibe. During this time, we’ll reset and prepare our minds for your brand project. We’ll learn more about one another and set project expectations to ensure a smooth journey.

Building a brand is more than the deliverables or results. It involves a shift in how you view yourself, your brand, and life. We smooth out any limiting thoughts and behavior that could affect the project. With open communication and solutions, Brand Therapy is a mindful session where we’ll both benefit.

What happens during the Creative Direction phase?
Creative Direction is one of my favorite parts of brand development. It gets me excited to see how the message influences the brand story and shoot direction.

The entire day is about YOU, your vision, and ensuring you’re comfortable and having fun the ENTIRE DAY. My mission is for you to embody your brand and be great while we do everything else.

Creative Direction starts way before the VIP day, kicking off with your virtual styling session. In the comfort of our own spaces, we pour over your closet to decide the looks (or items that need purchasing) to create your top 3 photo shoot looks.

After choosing the best space and developing the shoot theme, we discuss video direction with our team to create the best story to film on shoot day.

On the day of your scheduled shoot, we meet at your accommodations where our chosen make-up artist will get you even prettier. Next, we travel to the space and add décor that matches the visual mood. Then, the fun begins! All eyes on YOU (ours and the cameras). At the end of the shoot, we celebrate with a nice dinner at a local restaurant.
