Design & Visual solutions as unique as your brand
Unlock your brand’s full potential with highly personalized design, website, strategy, & photography services.
Hey there, I’m Sarah. And since 2001, I’ve built brands for clients big & small- from fortune 100 companies to solopreneurs.
One thing I know for sure is that every business has a unique story to show off to the world. And I want to help you do just that.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Strategic Glow-Up Process
One process, tailored solutions
I’ve spent two decades in the creative industry honing my skills and taking clients on a comprehensive journey through this tried-and-true process to get maximum results.
Like baking a cake, every step is crucial in achieving a delicious outcome.
From assembling the correct ingredients (Strategy) to having a no-fail recipe (my process), to frosting and decorating the final cake (creative direction, design & photography). I ensure that every step is carefully executed to perfectly reflect your brand’s essence.
-
To own what makes you unique, first, you have to identify it. Be it the goal of a project, or your reason for existence, knowing what your brand stands for and where you want to go will set you on the path to standing out in your industry.
That’s why every project I do begins with Strategy. This consists of a survey you’ll fill out and a 90-minute call. During the call, I’ll ask more questions, and we’ll dive deep into your brand to see what’s working, what needs a little help, and new places you could take your business and brand. Afterward, you’ll receive an extensive document laying out the strategy for your Brand’s direction & growth. Think of this as a roadmap that you can use going forward- and one we’ll use to guide everything else we create together.
-
Upon finishing your Brand Strategy, I get to work creating your brand identity, which goes way beyond a simple logo.
It involves designing a visual system that includes a primary logo, with complementary logo lockups, a color scheme, a hierarchy of typography, typesetting examples, custom patterns, and iconography, or illustration if it makes sense for your brand.
At the end of the process, you'll have a well-crafted brand and packaged files that can be used by anyone to maintain brand consistency.
-
As a Creative Director and photographer myself, I can oversee every aspect of the photography for your brand and site.
Whether it’s curating a collection of stock images that match your brand aesthetic, helping you put together extensive creative direction for a shoot with another photographer (including all the shoot planning: a mood board, shot list, location planning, and props recommendations), or shooting the images myself, I make sure your images are elevated and aligned to your brand.
I can even help with selecting and editing choices- holding your hand through the whole process.
-
The most efficient (and best- IMO) way to create copy for your website is to include it in your package and have us write it for you.
But, we also offer extensive web copy prompts to help you write it yourself.
And if you have a go-to copywriter already? Don’t worry, we love partnering with other creatives to bring your site to life. -
Next, let's take your new photos, copy, and brand and bring them to life with an impactful and well-designed Squarespace 7.1 site.
I get to work crafting a website strategy so that your new site not only looks gorgeous, its optimized for conversions and your business goals.
In addition to all the main pages of the site, we’ll also discuss any additional infrastructure or tech stack you may need for things like email newsletters, funnels, blogging, or e-commerce.
Once everything is approved, you’ll get an extensive guide along with helpful video tutorials so you’ll be empowered to manage all aspects of your site on your own.
-
A brand doesn’t just exist on your website.
You may need additional pieces like packaging, slide decks, course materials, or social media graphic templates to bring your brand fully to life.
These are all things we’ll discuss in the discovery phase, or, once you’re an existing client, you can come back and have supplemental pieces created for your brand.
-
I’ve touched just about every aspect of growing and marketing a brand. So once all the visual stuff is in place, we can talk about how to get your business and brand in front of the most people in a way that makes the most sense for your brand.
That can look like creating an extensive strategy document, or booking individual strategy sessions or consulting/ brand coaching with me on an ongoing basis.

Once I have the full picture of what you need for the project- using a quick questionnaire and a 15-30 minute discovery call, I put together a package specifically tailored to your needs.
My prices are based on years in the industry, and knowing what it takes to get the job done efficiently (and beautifully!) from the start.
Sample package prices are outlined below. -
Yes. I need a full assessment of what’s going on in your business and current brand situation before I can advise you on what’s working- and what isn’t.
It sets the stage for everything going forward in the branding, design, and creative direction process and makes sure we’re both on the same page regarding all the decisions being made about your brand.
It also gives you a clear picture of your place in the market, your brand personality & archetype, and gives you a roadmap for how you want your brand to grow.
This critical first step is also the reason why I have very few (sometimes zero) revisions with clients once we start the design process. We’re aligned and laser-focused on where we want to go and what needs to be created.
-
I’ve dabbled in several website builders over the years, but I always come back to Squarespace. Why?
It's user-friendly & intuitive which makes it a perfect solution for most people in the long run. I also love being able to empower my clients to easily make changes or updates to their sites themselves if needed.
I provide training and 30 days of support once the site is launched so you’ll feel 100% confident going forward.
Squarespace also has excellent 24/7 customer support readily available via chat or email.
I’m also well-versed in creating fully unique Squarespace sites with additional code techniques so that you’ll have something that truly stands out from the crowd.
-
If you don’t have the right ingredients for a recipe, chances are, it won’t turn out very well. Strategic brand identity, photography, and visuals are essential ingredients in order for your recipe to have the right structure and flavor.
If you’ve already created a Brand Strategy, or really don’t think you need help with brand identity or photography though, we can asses together and see if we’re able to jump straight into design.
-
Absolutely! In fact, I encourage it. You can schedule a 15-minute call here. I can’t wait to chat!
