WTF is Branding?
A brand is the philosophy your marketing executes against. It's an articulation of your reason for being. I like to think about it as the "why" under your "what" that helps people answer the fundamental question: "who cares?". another way to think about
Branding is using designful strategies to communicate value(s) so that other people can decide if they're on board or not. It's our way to help people get to know, like, and trust us. It also gives the person a reason to stay or go. Branding requires radical authenticity, honest reflection, and a willingness to challenge assumptions.
It also takes a subtle understanding of culture and human behavior. It's more than lipstick - it's more like a makeover built to lift and showcase your assets. Brand strategy is the process of seeing what's good, where we fit, and how we can best show up.

I help businesses see their fundamental gifts and share them with confidence. Through interviews, workshops, and organized planning, I help businesses clarify their thinking. Together, we work to simplify complexity and narrow in on what's most important. I like to think of branding as the act of "letting the main thing be the main thing" and helping it shine.

You need photography that sells the story. Good copy's great, but a picture is worth a thousand words. I work with businesses to understand and define their unique style and create images that reinforce the true line that runs through the brand.
