inside the work

A collaborative process that honored Michelle’s vision while shaping it into a brand that’s both expressive and effective. We distilled her essence into a brand guide designed to fuel inspiration, not restrict it.

  • Led brand strategy sessions to define Michelle’s core offerings, values, and ideal audience. Delivered a custom brand guide with messaging pillars, tone of voice, and visual inspiration that balanced her whimsical energy with strategic clarity.

  • Served as a trusted sounding board to help Michelle translate her ideas into aligned brand experiences. While she independently led design execution, I provided feedback and clarity checkpoints to ensure creative choices stayed rooted in the brand’s core vision.

  • Provided high-level UX input to support site navigation and user clarity—prioritizing intuitive flows while honoring Michelle’s expressive visual style. The updated site now reflects both her services and her spirit.

  • Matched Michelle with a trusted content creator from my network to bring her brand to life through video. Their collaboration resulted in a sizzle reel that captured her essence. No micromanaging required, just the right connection at the right time.
