We specialize in full-service branding and website design for creatives and small business owners. We offer two base packages plus a wide range of add-ons for a well-rounded and consistent feel across all areas of the business.
01. ESSENTIAL
Brand Development

Together, we will uncover your why and tell your story through a brand identity with unique and strategic designs that visually express your brand’s personality and values in order to align with your ideal audience and inspire lasting connections.

A strong web platform that effectively conveys a brand to its visitors builds trust and establishes consistency and recognition. Your brand deserves a well-designed website that is just as beautiful as it is compelling.

the process
-
Once you submit your client application and share your business needs, we’ll determine if we’re the right fit. If everything sounds good, I’ll send over a link where you will be able to book a video consult. The purpose of this call is to get to know a little bit about you and what you do, so that I have a deeper understanding going forward of how I can help you achieve your goals through branding.
-
Once I get a sense of the brand you are looking to create I will send over a project proposal to outline everything related to your project and anything else you may need to know going forward. Once approved, the signing of a contract and a non-refundable deposit will save your spot in my schedule and we will dive into the creation of your brand!
-
Before jumping into the design, I will send over a branding questionnaire so that we can fully understand your brand in order to create an identity that holds a deeper meaning.
-
From there we’ll get started on the designs where 2 rounds of revisions are included to assure that every need is met. I begin by offering my clients 1-2 concepts. You will receive a presentation including logos, collateral examples, and mock brand elements so you can really envision your brand in real life. From here we will decide on the final concept and a form will be provided with feedback questions in order to outline any necessary refinements. We will then refine and finalize the concept to get ready for your brand launch!
-
Once your branding project is complete, I will export and organize all files for print and digital use. I will also include a complete style guide booklet to provide clarity and direction on how to best utilize your new brand materials in a cohesive manner. It doesn’t just stop there, most of our clients sign on for a website or additional collateral for a fully customized brand experience. From here, let’s launch your brand!

frequently asked questions
-
I don't believe that a singular logo can capture your audience or convey your brands full identity and story. For that reason, I do not design a logo on it’s own. In order to create a memorable brand experience and stand out in your industry, it is absolutely necessary to make the investment and develop a full brand identity.
-
My availability varies throughout the year, however, I typically book out 1-2 months in advance. If you are interested in working together, fill out our client application form, and if it seems like we'd be a great fit I will be in touch with an approximate start date and other booking information.
-
Turnaround time varies depending on the project. Once we discuss your project I will send over a project timeline with the contract outlining a schedule as well as necessary client response times. Typically, Oak + Ember’s branding package takes approximately 6-8 weeks from start to completion. Branding + Web design takes approximately 12-16 weeks.
-
Working with a designer is a big investment, so I try to make payments as simple as possible for my clients. You’ll start by paying a 30% deposit to hold your spot in my schedule. I typically develop a payment plan and break up the remainder of the cost into 3-4 payments that will be spread out equally throughout the project until paid off.
-
I take a lot of pride in my process to ensure that there is meaning and intention behind every aspect of your brand. I also want to make sure that everything remains cohesive and consistent within your brand identity. Because of this, I do not work with any existing brand identities or logos and ask that all new clients go through a rebrand with me before working on any websites or additional collateral.
