From positioning to launch. The whole thing.

From positioning to launch. The whole thing.

The complete engagement. Strategy, identity, and a website that ships it, so your brand and your site tell the same story.

For founders ready to stop looking early-stage and start looking like the company they're building. The ones who treat brand as a business decision, not a cost to cut, and want a partner to make the big calls with.

From strategy to launch

A process built on decisions, not deliverables. Every step earns the next, from diagnosis to a brand and site that launch as one.

step 1

Book a slot

Pick a time that works and tell me a bit about what you're building. That's all I need to get started.

step 2

Discovery call

We talk through your business, your stage, and where you're headed, so the brand is built on what you actually need, not guesswork.

step 3

Diagnosis

We start by understanding the business, the raise, and the audience. Everything downstream depends on getting this right.

step 4

Strategy

The decisions that define the brand. Positioning, direction, the story your brand needs to tell.

step 5

Build

Identity and website, designed together so they align. One coherent brand across every surface.

step 6

Handover

Everything documented and yours. Files, guidelines, a site you can run without me.

What we build

Positioning and Strategy

The decisions that shape everything, who you're for, why you matter, and how you say it. This is where the brand actually gets defined.

Full Identity system with guidelines

Logo, colour, type, and every asset built into one coherent system, documented so it stays consistent long after handover.

Website design + development (optional)

A site designed around your brand and your goals, built to make investors and customers get it in seconds, not scroll to figure it out.

Frequently asked questions

Whatโ€™s the difference between this and the Sprint?

The Sprint is a fast, fixed brand. This is the complete engagement: strategy, a full identity system, and a website that ships it, built together over 4-6 weeks. If you need the real, scalable thing and not just the essentials, this is it.

Do you build the website, or just design it?

Your call. I can design it and hand you polished files for your own developer, or I can build it too. We decide based on how you work and what you need.

Why does it start at $10,000?

Because the scope is custom. Strategy, full brand, and a website is real depth, and the final number depends on what you need. We scope it together on the call so you know exactly what youโ€™re paying for before anything starts.

How long does it actually take?

Usually 4-6 weeks, depending on scope and how fast feedback comes back. If the website build is complex or you need more rounds, it can run longer. We set a realistic timeline up front.

How involved do I need to be?

More than the Sprint, since the strategy work needs your input. Expect a few working sessions early on, then lighter check-ins as I build. The more present you are at the strategy stage, the better the result.

What if I already have some brand assets?

Then we use whatโ€™s working and fix what isnโ€™t. Youโ€™re not paying to redo things that are already right. We scope around what you have.
