Brave Brands for designers ready to stand for something
Brave brands require guts because standing for something sometimes means standing against something.
Brave brands are honest, and they exude a refreshingly quiet confidence that gains trust from clients that can’t be bought, only earned.
Most of our clients are solo interior designers in moments of reinvention.
They’re tired of blending in, and they understand they can better attract their ideal clients and charge premium prices when they stand apart from the crowd.
How it works
First, we will unpack and clarify what you genuinely stand for and what’s important to your ideal clients.
Next, we will write and design an elegant website that introduces your business eloquently and showcases your work beautifully.
Starting in Spring 2024, we are designing printed materials to accompany your website so you can deliver an elevated client experience.
What we stand for (and against)
We believe a designer’s website should feel like a gracious introduction, not like an salesly advertisement.
Because we’ve worked and spoken with hundreds of solo designers, we are able to see what sets you apart. We are guides and advisers, not just writers and designers. This means you don’t need to have all the answers.
We take pride in simplifying your message – without fluff – to make it more memorable and shareable.
In terms of our aesthetic, we favor clean layouts without clutter, and we design custom details to make your visual identity truly one of a kind.
Regarding our process, we write and design websites in a matter of days, not weeks or months, using an intensive-style process. This way, you can have your new website sooner and with less work on your part.
