The Process

We work using a 3 part process: Discovery, Creation, and Implementation + Launch. The discovery process starts with an initial “brand-storm” session taking place in a local coffee shop or over the phone. During this session, we listen to your dreams, talk you through the process and decide if we will be a good fit. After this we move onto the creation phase. This is where the magic happens! We use the branding strategy created from the discovery phase as a reference to start working on your concept development. As the project is nearing end, we pick a launch date and start developing a launch strategy

When completed, you will have a clear and effective brand identity or website that will help to attract your ideal client.

The Design Process

Your project consists of three primary stages. Discovery, Creation, and Implementation + Launch.

Discover

The discovery phase begins with an initial “brand-storm” session taking place in a local coffee shop or over the phone. During this session, we listen to your dreams, talk you through the process and decide if we will be a good fit for each other. 

After the initial meeting & the contract is signed, we invite you to our client management system & send you instructions to get started on your homework! Once your homework is completed, we put together a brand strategy PDF where we outline your unique voice, ideal client, branding buzzwords and put together a visual mood board.

Create

This is where the magic happens! After the discovery phase is approved, we use the branding strategy as a reference to start working on your concept development. 


After creating multiple concepts, we pick the strongest one and present it to you via an in-depth concept presentation that includes a logo, secondary logo, color palette & other unique branding elements. Once presented, we revise until perfect! Next, we will put together the rest of your package based on the collateral material you have chosen for your brand (you receive two complimentary collateral design items)

Implement

As the project is nearing end, we pick the launch date and start developing a launch strategy. During this time, we take a few days to save all of the different file types you will need as well as create a detailed Brand Standards Manual for you. All of your new design files will be sent to you in an organized Google Drive folder.

When completed, you will have a clear and effective brand identity or website that will help attract your ideal client.
