FAQs

  • What do I need before starting a branding project?

    We love our processes smooth and streamlined. We ask that you come prepared with a solid grasp of what you’re looking for, your business goals, and a commitment to collaborate throughout the project. You may also need to set aside a budget for any additional assets for your brand or website.

  • How far ahead should I book?

    Most of our projects are booked one to two months in advance, so we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible to secure your spot. If you have a hard deadline or launch date, we suggest adding at least a two-week buffer to our usual timelines.

  • What if I have an urgent project?

    We value the well-being of our clients and ourselves, as well as the quality of our work. These require time and consideration. That’s why we typically don't take on rushed projects. But we'll do our best to help you out where we can.

  • Can you just design the logo?

    We don't do standalone logos. Here’s why: a logo alone doesn't build a brand. We're here to create the full experience, from crafting your story and bringing your identity to life, to designing a striking website that’s an authentic expression of you. We're in the business of building brands and communities, not just logos.

  • Do you only work with BIPOC or queer founders?

    While we prioritize creating spaces that center around women, BIPOC, and queer founders (because not enough of those spaces exist!), we're passionate about working with anyone who shares our values and vision.

    The Messaging R1 deliverables include updated core values, brand headlines, tone of voice and copy rules, as well as defined language conventions and brand vocabulary.

  • Messaging Final & Visual Identity Final

    The final Messaging and Visual Identity phase will include an updated tone of voice, language conventions, and brand vocabulary, all designed to refine and strengthen your brand’s messaging. The visual identity will be further refined based on client feedback, ensuring it aligns with the brand’s vision. All photography included will be for placement purposes only, serving as inspiration and a guide for style. The client will be responsible for producing their own content moving forward.

  • Brand Guidelines

    The final Brand Guidelines will include messaging and naming edits, along with guidelines for photography, iconography, logo usage, typography, tone of voice, messaging, and graphical conventions. These guidelines will provide a clear framework for maintaining a cohesive brand identity across all touchpoints.

    The handoff will include logo assets in both print and digital formats (PNG, SVG, AI, EPS), as well as iconography and graphic elements in print and digital formats. The client will receive both a PDF version of the brand guidelines and a digital version accessible through a Figma link for easy reference and future updates.

Sabrina and her team did an amazing job to help our early startup become a more established brand. We came to her with a lot of questions regarding how to position ourselves in the crowded pet space as a new dog brand. She worked hard to diligently research what the top brands were doing right and how to apply that authentically to our brand. This redefined our brand positioning, messaging, and visual identity. We are thrilled to implement everything from this branding journey!
