Personal Branding and Visual Identity Kickoff for Entrepreneur

💡 A little Background: The client, a coach for entrepreneurs, had recently started her business and was ready to ✨ translate her vision into a cohesive brand identity ✨. She wanted her brand to reflect her personality—elegant, powerful, feminine, and deeply connected to nature.
🎯 Client Goals: She didn’t know how to turn her ideas into tangible assets. She also sought guidance on content planning and strategies to confidently launch her business and attract clients.
👩🏽‍💻 My Role: Brand Consultant, Photographer, Website Designer, and Visual Identity Creator.
Tools & Skills Used: Squarespace, Canva, Notion, Photography, Content Strategy.
✨ Solution:
I worked closely with the client to bring her vision to life, creating a strong foundation for her business:
Branding Assets: Developed a cohesive visual identity, including a custom color palette (main colors: khaki and lilac), logo, and font selections.
Content Templates: Designed Canva templates for social media posts and stories to ensure consistent branding.
Strategic Planning: Built a personalized Notion template to help her plan and organize her content strategy effectively.
Photography: Conducted a "Jungle in the city"-themed personal branding photoshoot in an indoor garden. The shoot reflected her connection to nature and Costa Rican background, aligning seamlessly with her brand colors and style.
Website Design: Designed and implemented a Squarespace website that showcased her services and personality. (Copywriting was completed by the client to ensure brand voice is her own.)
Challenges Overcome: The client knew what she wanted but lacked clarity on how to build a brand from scratch. I guided her through the process, helping her understand what assets she needed and how to translate her vision into a tangible brand identity.
🚀 Impact:
Organic Growth: Her social media account grew to 1,500+ followers within a year, engaging a community aligned with her vision.
Brand Confidence: The client reported a significant boost in confidence, enabling her to market herself effectively and approach clients with ease.
Client Feedback: "I just want you to know that I am so excited for this project and also super motivated. I really trust your skills and know that you are the right person to help me with the dream I want to create. It really helped me to set myself up for success when I had no idea what it meant to be an entrepreneur. I became so much more confident in going after my clients knowing that I have a strong personal brand, website, and content resources."
