About this service

Summary

This service helps you craft a brand that’s clear, credible, and built to grow. We take you from creative direction to a full visual identity with a full logo suite, color palette, typography, and brand guide, designed to reflect your voice and position you with authority. 

FAQs

  • What’s included in the branding service?

    You’ll receive moodboards for creative direction, up to three custom logo concepts (each with primary, secondary, and brandmark variations), a full brand guide, and final design files. We also include two rounds of revisions to refine your brand to its strongest form.

  • What's the timeline?

    Most branding projects take 4–6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery, depending on feedback speed and revision rounds.

  • Can I use the brand assets in Canva?

    Yes! If you have a Canva Pro account, we’ll upload your logo files, color palette, and typography directly to your Brand Kit—making it easy for you (or your team) to apply your visual identity consistently across all touchpoints.

What's included

  • Design Exploration

    We start by exploring the creative possibilities for your brand. Through moodboards and visual research, we identify key themes, tones, and visual directions that align with your goals and audience. This step lays the foundation for a distinct identity that feels personal, polished, and built to grow with you.

  • Logo Concept Development

    Next, we develop a series of logo concepts designed to bring clarity and strategic direction to your brand. Each concept is intentionally crafted to support your business goals and resonate with the audience you most want to attract.

  • Brand Guide Development

    Once your logo is finalized, we begin work on your full brand identity and brand system. This includes a custom color palette, type hierarchy, usage guidance, and supporting visual assets. You’ll walk away with a detailed brand guide and design files that ensure consistency across every touchpoint—from your website to social to print.

  • Optional: Upload of Assets to Your Canva Pro Account

    If you have a Canva Pro account, we’ll upload your finalized brand elements—logos, colors, typography, and visual assets—directly into your Canva Brand Kit. This makes it easy for you (or your team) to create branded content that stays true to your visual identity.

The BEST.

Working with Afton has been an absolute game-changer for my business. She brought a *priceless* blend of strategic insight, technical skill, and humanity to my multidimensional project. She understood my vision, helped me organize my chaos, and elevated The Allergic Dog™ brand with clarity and confidence. She’s incredibly organized, thoughtful in her feedback, and truly gifted in her approach to these large projects. Her team is next level - there's nothing they can't handle. 12/10 experience.

Afton did a tremendous job in providing high-quality, professional brand guidelines for our online education company. She was very responsive and always strove to accommodate our wishes and implement our brand's vision. Highly recommended.

Working with Afton on the Kajabi project was an absolute pleasure. She's incredibly talented, sharp, and truly knows her stuff. Her insight and execution brought clarity and impact to every step of the process. I'd collaborate with her again in a heartbeat.

Afton is an ACE. I needed a fresh new look for my website and she delivered! I love how her designs are tailored to the brand and the individual they represent, but even more than that her work has pushed me to rise to a higher level in my business. In addition to my custom theme, I hired Afton for a strategy session. This was worth its weight in gold, and helped me elevate and reimagine my offerings, and how to present them to my ICAs in a way that speaks more clearly to their various needs. I highly recommend adding a strategy session with Afton if you're hiring her for a custom theme. Communication, timeliness, delivery, etc.-- all on point. Hire her! You won't regret it.

Afton and team produced a beautiful brand and website design for FLI MD and exceeded all of our expectations. They were fast, integrated our feedback and created a beautiful result. I can't recommend their services highly enough.

Afton and her team are amazing. Kajabi makes things pretty easy for people trying to launch a site, but it certainly does not make you a designer by any means. Afton designed and provided templates for a beautiful site that I'm so excited to share with folks. In my entrepreneurial journey, this is the money I've spent. If you're futzing with margins and images and colors, I would highly recommend hiring Afton for design and kajabi implementation work. Thank you!!!

My old website was doing me and my business no justice. Afton was not only able to create a beautiful, professional Kajabi website for me, but she was able to position me in a way that makes me feel like a true leader in my industry.

I needed a lot of handholding, both on the technical side and on aesthetic choices. Afton was both patient and firm when decisions needed to be made and she always approached things directly and with humor. Thanks Afton!
