DIY branding has served you well until now, but at this point you need something more in order to get to the next level of building your brand. Save time and money as you build your brand and easily go from embarrassed to empowered.
Your BRAND shouldn't be just something you created in Canva.
While custom branding is hugely beneficial and the best solution for some, the vast majority of business owners are served well with a different solution: semi-custom branding.
Not everyone has the time and/or budget for custom branding. And not everyone needs it. In fact, I only recommend fully custom branding and website development to a handful of entrepreneurs who have specific needs for that.
Most entrepreneurs are in the phase where you know you need more than "just a logo" but you aren't quite ready for the full investment of a custom brand. That middle ground used to be no man's land where you felt stuck with a cringey DIY logo but had no real solution for getting you to the next step.
This is the answer for that in-between.
Semi-custom brand templates are for emerging online brands that need an affordable polished look. These pre-made brand templates are best for those who are just starting their business, who are on a tight budget, or who need a quick turnaround but still want to feel confident in their brand.
It's a condensed branding process that gives you a cohesive brand quickly while sticking to your budget.
You need guidance to properly build your brand without investing more than you're making at this stage of the game. We are skipping the part where you go through all the trial and error, mistakes, and color changes and giving you a jump start.

Since rebranding, I feel more confident in my brand and how I present it to the world. The aesthetics not only look amazing and feel more like me and my messaging, but the supporting content I'm creating aligns with my vision as well.
While these brands are customized specifically for your business, the general idea of the brand itself is not exclusive and it is possible that other people have a similar logo.
ARE THESE BRANDS EXCLUSIVE? WILL I BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS BRAND?
Awesome! I work with a variety of businesses to create custom brands and websites. You can learn more about custom work on the services page.
WHAT IF I WANT A CUSTOM LOGO?
Due to font licensing laws, I can’t share the fonts, but I do tell you what the names of the fonts are so that you can purchase them on your own. I typically use affordable, easy-to-find fonts.
DO I RECEIVE THE FONT FILES?
Scroll up to check out the full list, but you receive a variety of files in a variety of colors and formats (for both web and print). The logo files themselves won’t be editable but you can customize the social media templates to work for your business.
WHAT FILES WILL I RECEIVE? WILL THEY BE EDITABLE?
The images you see in the template are meant to serve as a guide and must be replaced.
CAN I USE THE IMAGES THAT COME WITH TEMPLATE?
While I am customizing your files, I will make edits and refinements if I see the need to make it look better. Only one round of revisions is included in the scope of these brands so additional revisions could add an additional fee to your project.
WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE THE WAY MY NAME LOOKS IN THE LOGO?
You can customize the colors. Depending on your request and the answers to your questionnaire, sometimes I may also recommend changing one of the fonts.
WHAT CAN I CUSTOMIZE?
Your files will be customized and delivered directly to you in as little as one to two weeks. After you purchase, I will be in touch with details for your brand.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CUSTOMIZE THE FILES?
I’ll give you a variety of files so that you are equipped for any situation. You won’t need anything to make the logo files work. The social media templates are created for Canva, so in order to edit those, you will need Canva (which is free!).
DO I NEED ANYTHING TO MAKE THE BRAND FILES WORK?
If you're into this style but looking for something more custom, we can work together to build a custom brand just for you.
