Brand Strategist & Designer

Since my own rebrand, I've felt so in my element  as an entrepreneur.

Last year, I took Gem Creative Co. through the in-depth branding process and the benefits just keep compounding. Discovering my distinct position in my industry, my unique approach to what I do, and my signature aesthetic has me feeling in my brand element and deeply connected to the people I serve.

And the best part? It's sustainable longterm. With this process, you'll no longer feel the need to reinvent the wheel because the brand you're building is a natural expression of how you serve people. It makes marketing yourself easier as you show up more excited to do what you do best.

FAQs

We'll encourage your customers to take their next step with a cohesive, informative landing page (such as your homepage or a sales page). Up to eight sections of content and on-brand visuals will be intentionally designed to maintain people's attention and guide their decision-making process.

This unique solution to website support provides you the foundation to build off of, either on your own as you grow or together down the road. It unifies your brand and web presence without needing to commit to a larger website investment in one go.

If you're looking for a more robust multi-page website with this package, reach out via email hello@gemcreative.co or DM on Instagram to see what your potential options are!

In order to give you the highest quality and most refined branding outcomes, we intentionally do not rush the creative process. Your brand deserves dedicated time, energy, and space for things to take shape at an unforced rhythm.

Month one is dedicated to Discovery, month two to Development, and month three to Implementation. See the Transformation Process to get a full picture of what we cover during our three months working together! You won't need to do any heavy lifting :)

Your first payment of $1,875 is required to officially secure your start date and timeline, and then the remaining 3 payments pick up when we start Phase 1 of your project. Total investment is $7.5k.
 
If you'd like to request an extended payment plan with smaller payment installments, indicate that on your application and we can discuss your alternative options during the application follow-up! 

We are currently booking out months in advance into 2024. Applications are reviewed on a first-come-first serve basis, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you'd get to select and secure your preferred start date. Expect to book at least a few months in advance!

For projects booked several months out, we can touch base earlier leading up to your start date with your client dashboard and ways to begin preparing. That way you're not left in the dark during the time between booking and starting!

I partner with your business as a Brand Strategist and Creative Director with a holistic and comprehensive approach. Isolating design elements from the strategy process is simply not in my nature because I'll be thinking about the whole picture anyway.

If you're looking for a long-lasting, cohesive, and purposeful brand presence, it's impossible to keep things surface-level. If all you want is a logo design, I recommend finding a freelance graphic designer!

Even though a larger chunk of my clients are existing businesses ready to take their branding to the next level, I also work with new entrepreneurs!

I just highly recommend investing in branding after you already have work experience in the same industry. That way, you have a sense of clarity on how you best serve people, and can call on previous customer experiences to inform the brand you're building.

Gem Creative Co. primarily works with service-providers, coaches, educators, and personal brands with a "face behind the business." So In Your Element is crafted intentionally for personal brands and service-based businesses!

Product-based businesses are less common since selling physical products online often ends up requiring a larger scope of work. But there may be some exceptions, so feel free to ask about it via DMs or email just in case!

If you're still in the DIY stage of business, you're not alone! Custom branding is definitely an investment, so I'm working on more options to serve brands in bite-sized ways. Join the waitlist for the DIY branding group mentorship course, or ask about my 1:1 Brand Workshops!

When people can tell you're in your brand element, your energy is contagious.

Let's amplify the best aspects of your business with  innovative identity design that transcends trends.
