Brand Identity Design
The Visual Expression of Your Brand
I work with you to establish the visual expression of your brand. Whether you are starting from the beginning, looking for a refresh/refinement of your current logo, or scrapping the old for a shiny new mark, your identity will be designed with meaning and intention. There are various levels of brand identity and deliverables based on your needs and budget. Design deliverables can be as basic as a single logo or as comprehensive as full brand development including asset development and the workshop.

Brand Workshops
The Strategic Foundation for Your Brand
My stress-free and explorative workshops are the thing that sets my work apart from other designers. When you engage in a brand strategy workshop you are setting the foundation for all your branding decisions from positioning, creative and design, to messaging, customer service, and internal culture. I offer two levels of workshop depending on your business structure and needs. Workshops are an optional but preferred first step to brand identity design and are highly recommended for a meaningful outcome. Workshop deliverables are useful since they provide a map for creative consistency in your marketing plan.

Brand Workbook


I’m Krista.
Here’s a little piece of my personal history...
I pursue my passions in design not just because I want to, but because it’s the only way I know how to live. One of my passions is branding - both strategy and visual identity design. I've been helping entrepreneurs and small businesses invent, reinforce, and evolve their branding for over two decades. Much of my design work has centered around my love for the outdoors, the community it builds, and the people. Combining my passion for design with my passion for the outdoors has been my superpower.
Do any of these sound like you?
I can help you if…
You’re a funded startup that needs a solid brand foundation not only to woo your investors but to help motivate your internal team to get you to the next level. You need a new or "newish" logo/identity and a way to share your brand internally so that your entire team understands its essence.
Your small business has become established in your industry or community but you are finding your logo is outdated and your business has hit a plateau. You're not connecting with your ideal client and you feel your business needs a refresh.
What clients are saying about the Brand Explorer Workshop...

This is way, way, way, beyond value expected. The meticulous planning coupled with the easy flow and the jam structure made it easy to focus on the tasks and it felt like we were having a conversation rather than completing work deliverables.
