how it works

You open another email from a potential client letting you know they've gone with someone else, yet again.

You are embarrassed to send potential clients to your website because it doesn't align with how you want your brand to feel.

You've tried to piece together a brand on your own, but nothing looks cohesive. It's like a puzzle where the pieces don't quite fit.

You have a discerning eye but don't know how to translate that to your own brand. It feels too close to home.

You're so caught up in the day-to-day with clients that finding time to revamp your brand seems impossible.

You keep getting frustrating inquiries from unideal clients that aren't willing to pay your rates.

finally be able to:

  • have a cohesive brand that gives you the confidence to show up fully in your business
  • be in control of how your audience actually perceives you
  • ditch the diy canva logo that you grew out of two years ago

You gain an art director, a branding expert, and a design partner rolled into one, focused solely on bringing your unique brand story to life.

The Brand Foundation Experience

The same Cotton Design Co. brand experience, just condensed to give you the essentials. 

After working in branding for 7 years, I have developed a passion for design but also a deep understanding of the creative entrepreneur's journey. I've crafted The Brand Foundation Intensive to address the unique challenges you face as a business owner, especially when you're starting out. I combine strategic insight with an artful approach, ensuring your brand not only stands out but truly resonates with your ideal clients. With years of experience and a heart to see you succeed, I'm here to guide you through this branding journey and committed to bringing your vision to life.

How it works:

  • We will have a prep call to clarify objectives, discuss insights from the discovery phase, and confirm the creative direction. This ensures we're perfectly aligned before the design work begins.

discovery + prep call

  • Kick off with a detailed questionnaire to delve into the essence of your brand, mapping out your vision, values, and the unique story you want to tell. This foundational step ensures every element of your brand aligns with your business goals.

Experience the creative process as your brand's visual identity takes shape. We'll develop a mood board, select your brand's color scheme, and choose fonts that speak to your brand's personality.

creative direction

Your brand's identity comes to life with the design of a main logo, submark, and alternate logo, tailored for various applications including social media, ensuring a versatile and cohesive brand presence. We'll collaborate closely, refining concepts and making adjustments in real time through scheduled calls until we get it just right.

You have specific and significant goals such as attracting a completely new audience or a launch income goal to hit, and need more specified and deep strategy applied to the backend.

You have a hard time making quick decisions and need time to sit with things.

You crave a very hands-on and long process of working together.

You have been in business for a long time, have even hired a designer to do your brand before, and may need more in-depth help this time around.

Who this is best for:

You need the essential, foundational parts of a brand and don't need a longer, more in-depth brand strategy in this stage of your business.

You don't have the budget to do a more extended comprehensive branding experience. Maybe you're just starting out, or have never invested in your business before. This is a perfect place for you to start!

You crave an efficient process that doesn't have an extended timeline and can make decisions quickly.

This intensive style project is designed for people that feel like they needed their branding done yesterday. They are ready to make quick progress forward.
