Are you ready to step in to the next level of your business...

...with an authentic brand image that's totally you and consistent graphics you're proud to share?

Without feeling overwhelmed or stuck in the design process?

An authentic brand image and consistent graphics are what attracts and converts your ideal customers… but you’re stuck, confused and feeling held back because your business doesn't "look" professional.

Let Me Guess...

  • You’ve tried to piece together a consistent look and feel for your business but lack the clarity and confidence to communicate your vision
  • You're overwhelmed at all of the design decisions that you need to make, it all seems so concrete and final.
  • You know deep down that EVERYTHING is visual! If you don’t get it figured out, will your business dreams come to life?
  • You're worried that your brand and graphics aren't a great reflection or representation of your business.
  • You have a lot of amazing ideas for your business, and you're sick not being able to bring them to life with graphics and visuals.
  • You've thought about investing in a Graphic Designer, but deep down, YOU want to be in control.

If you're wondering.... " How in the heck does she know EVERYTHING I'm struggling with?!" then keep reading -we're about to become fast friends!

What would change in your business if you had a professional brand image that's totally YOU, and the graphic design knowledge you need to bring your vision, dreams, and big goals to life?

  • Imagine being SO confident in your brand image that you no longer feel ashamed or embarrassed to put yourself out there and market your business and offerings.
  • How about having potential clients discover you on social media, connecting instantly with your brand and trusting you right off of the bat. Because your brand and graphics look that professional.
  • What would it be like to be able to bring all of those amazing business ideas that keep you up at night to life? You can hop into Canva and create graphics that bring your idea to life.
  • Imagine being a no-brainer "YES" from new clients and customers because you're finally running a business that looks as professional as you really are.
  • How about having a TON of extra time to spend on things you truly enjoy, because it no longer takes you hours to create a single graphic in Canva.

If I had to guess.. A LOT would change in your business.

You'd finally feel like your business is REAL. Like you have the skilled needed to market your business and look like the professional you truly are!

OUR GOLDEN PROMISE

I am crazy confident that the Brand + Design Framework will help you take your business to the next level, even if you’re DIYing it. That's why I have a 100% money-back guarantee.  If you enroll in the Brand + Design Framework, do the work, put in your best effort, ask questions when you get stuck, and feel that I haven’t delivered, I will issue a 100% refund within 14 days of purchasing. 

Each day you spend hiding behind a brand that you're NOT proud of, the longer it is going to take to reach those big business dreams you know are achievable!

No matter where you want to go in your business, having a professional online presence will help get you there faster. Professional graphics = trust = more money in your pocket.

A business without a solid visual brand + graphic foundation is like trying to bake a 12 layer cake without a sturdy base. 

Without it there is always going to be a BLOCK in moving forward in your business and reaching your big goals. 

That's why I created the DIY Brand + Design Framework. Because I never want your brand + graphics to hold you back from building the business of your dreams.

Get ready to go from  stuck, frustrated, ashamed, unseen and unheard, to confident, empowered and excited to share your business with the world!


HERE'S WHAT sarah HAD TO SAY

"Before joining the program, I didn't have the self confidence to really figure out what looked good for my brand. Kristin brought a great energy level to the program that helped inspire me to keep going."

Still wondering if the Brand + Design Framework is for you?

Yes!

We're totally meant to be!

  • You're just getting started in business and want to start out with a solid brand + graphic foundation
  • You have a brand that you're not vibin' with and you're ready for a refresh, yesterday!
  • You want to create a consistent look and feel across your business.
  • You're resourceful, a bit creative, and are excited to take the DIY route

Nope!

It's not in our cards right now.

  • You already have a brand you absolutely love!
  • You don’t value professionalism or think the brand image of your business is really that important.
  • You have a lot of time to waste moving things around in Canva over and over. and over.
  • You’d rather hire a professional designer to do it for you.

THE BRAND + DESIGN FRAMEWORK IS PERFECT FOR:

  • Small Business Owners
  • Teacher-preneuers
  • Digital Product Creators
  • Podcasters
  • Service Providers
  • Bloggers
  • Coaches
  • Personal Brands
  • MLM Distributors
  • Virtual Assistants
  • Course Creators
  • Real Estate Agents

You're on this journey for a reason. It's surely more than a hobby, right?

Maybe you're craving more freedom in your life...

More time with the ones you love...

Or being able to do things on YOUR terms..

Whatever your reason is, if you're serious about reaching those BIG goals, getting serious about your brand and how you're visually representing your business is something you’re going to have to commit to doing if you want to be taken seriously.

Don't keep putting this off, or you'll NEVER end up making the time.

There's never been a better time than NOW.

there are a few paths you could take...

The Beaten Path

You can continue hacking your way through creating inconsistent graphics with no branding in place…making every single business building task less effective. Feeling stuck. Frustrated. Unseen and unheard.

The Expensive Path

You can hire an expensive  designer with a hefty price tag ($2,000 and up!) who will create a beautiful brand for you. Shell out more money to said designer every time you need a graphic created.  Wait countless weeks for your deliverables.

The DIY Path

You can join the DIY Brand + Design Framework with your new designer BFF virtually guiding you along your journey. You’ll feel confident, empowered and unstoppable.
It’s next-level YOU.

what do you want your business to LOOK like six months from now? Heck, think of how you want to look just ONE month from now. 

Do you have a step-by-step plan on how to make that dream a reality?

If you’re ready to turn your brand + graphics into a recognizable, memorable and trustworthy powerhouse with total clarity and confidence, this course has your name written all over it.

YOU CAN DO THIS, EVEN IF YOU don't feel creative or are super busy!

"I'll do it later..."

Making the decision to DIY your brand can feel like a BIG time commitment. 

Here’s the thing, if you sit back and wait for the right time, DIYing your brand is something you’re going to keep putting off. And that won't do your business ANY good.

"I don't have the time!"

Creating your brand won't be done in a snap, but the time you'll save down the road when it's time to create graphics will make up for it pretty quickly!

Plus, you can complete the course on your own schedule and in your own time!

"I'm not creative enough!"

I believe is that creativity is something we all have inside, you may just have to dig a little.  If you can spin up a business, you are absolutely creative enough! Don't have an "eye for design"? Have no fear, you just don’t know what you’re looking for!

These brand boards were made by students who once upon a time didn't feel creative enough to pull it off! Whaaaaat?!

Here's What Robin Had to Say

"I feel much more confident since I took this course. I don't have any qualms about offering branding as as service. In fact, I already have 3 clients"

Here's What Theresa Had to Say

"I wanted to look professional, and you just made it easy. You simplified it. I've learned a lot, and I'm excited to learn more! I feel so much more confident in my business now!"
