A little studio milestone! 🥹
Recently got interviewed by Breef alongside our brand strategist @Helen Heidel about getting to know your audience, building brands that actually connect with people, and why trying to appeal to everyone might be holding your brand back.
We also talked about sharing your work before it feels perfect, which is definitely advice I need to take myself lol.
Anyway, excited to share this one!
Huge congrats on the milestone! 🎉 Getting interviewed by Breef is big! Love your take on building brands that actually connect vs trying to appeal to everyone - so true, that's what holds brands back! Big shoutout to Helen too!
Italic serif on "know your audience" is a nice touch against the blue.
Trying to appeal to everyone means connecting with no one.

I literally had to launch my website behind my own back 😭💻
As a brand designer, I kept finding one more thing to tweak before going live. A font, a layout, another section… the list never ended.
But building with @Base44 reminded me that launching doesn't mean you're finished. It means you've started.
✨ Here's what I built:
🌐 BrandingbyEl Website: A fully designed, published, mobile-responsive website that I can continue improving as my business grows.
🚀 Before The Launch (BTL) : A brand clarity tool. It helps founders work through their ideas, identify gaps, and get clearer on their brand before working with a designer.
My biggest takeaway? Progress deserves to be published, too.
Both projects are live, and I'm excited to keep building, learning, and improving along the way.
Built with Base44 🖤
Haha felt this so hard! As designers we are never 100% satisfied, always one more tweak. You did the right thing launching — done is better than perfect. Congrats on finally going live!
The soft blue and lilac gradient against the plain black type feels calm and a bit techy. Nice pacing in the motion too.
