This is where everything starts.

Brand strategy turns your product idea into a brand with direction. It gives you clarity on who you are for, what makes you different, and how to show up so customers, buyers, and investors take you seriously.

This is for you if:

• You have a strong product but no clear positioning
  
• You feel unsure how to talk about your brand
  
• You want to build an audience before or alongside launch
  
• You are preparing for retail, buyers, or investors
  

Strategy helps you:

• Define what makes your product stand out on shelf
  
• Understand your consumer and how to reach them
  
• Build early momentum through content and community
  
• Make confident decisions across packaging, web, and launch
  

This strategy becomes the roadmap you use again and again.

This is where strategy becomes visible.

Your brand identity is not just a logo. It is a full visual system designed to communicate trust, quality, and intention at a glance. Everything is built to work together across shelf, screen, and real life.

This is for you if:

• Your brand looks inconsistent or outdated
  
• You have outgrown your current visuals
  
• You want to look credible, polished, and intentional
  
• You are preparing for retail or scaling
  

Brand identity includes:

• Logo system with variations
  
• Color palette with intentional usage
  
• Typography pairings
  
• Brand icons
  
• Brand patterns
  
• Social media aesthetic and starter templates
  

The goal is a brand that feels clear, confident, and easy to recognize.

Packaging is your first salesperson.

In CPG, packaging has seconds to communicate value, trust, and clarity. Packaging design only works when it is built on strategy and aligned with your brand identity.

This is for you if:

• Your packaging is not converting
  
• You are preparing for shelf placement
  
• Your product needs clearer hierarchy and messaging
  
• You want packaging that stands out without trying too hard
  

Packaging design focuses on:

• Clear messaging and hierarchy
  
• Shelf impact and differentiation
  
• Brand consistency across SKUs
  
• A seamless connection between shelf and website
  

The result is packaging that works hard for your brand.

Your website should sell as well as your packaging.

Your Shopify website is where curiosity turns into trust and trust turns into purchase. It should feel intuitive, aligned, and easy to navigate, especially for busy consumers and retail buyers.

This is for you if:

• Your packaging and website feel disconnected
  
• You are sending buyers or investors to your site
  
• You want a calm, confident online presence
  

Website design focuses on:

• Conversion-focused layout and flow
  
• Clear messaging and product education
  
• Mobile-first design
  
• A seamless brand experience from shelf to screen
  

Your site becomes a true home base for your brand.

Building a CPG brand is not just about having a great product. It is about launching a brand people recognize, trust, and want to buy from.

Before a brand identity and name, before packaging, before a website, there has to be clarity. Strategy is what turns a product idea into a brand with direction. It defines what makes you different, who your customer actually is, and why someone would choose you over everything else on the shelf.

This early clarity becomes the roadmap for every decision that follows. It guides formulation conversations, shapes how you show up online, informs packaging and website design, and gives you the language you need when talking to buyers, partners, and investors.

This is where I come in.

Your brand strategy is not a document that sits in a folder. It is a working tool you use again and again as you build.

It helps you:

• Clearly define what makes your product stand out on shelf
  
• Understand your consumer and how to reach them
  
• Build an audience early with people excited to buy at launch
  
• Create momentum through content, community, and real-world activation
  
• Show up prepared when pitching retailers or early investors
  

This is the information investors want to see before they take a brand seriously. It shows you know your market, your customer, and your long-term vision, not just your product.

Once your strategy is in place, everything becomes easier and more intentional.

You can:

• Share clear direction with formulators and manufacturers
  
• Build your brand publicly with confidence instead of guessing
  
• Design packaging and a website that work together
  
• 
  Start creating buzz before you ever hit shelves
  
• Enter early retail conversations with clarity and credibility
  

Instead of reacting and fixing things later, you are building with purpose from the start.

This is why my process begins with strategy and stays connected all the way through brand identity, packaging, and website design.

I do not hand you a plan and disappear. I stay involved as you put it into action, helping you make smart decisions, pressure-check choices, and move forward with confidence.

Clients often tell me the biggest difference is not just how their brand looks, but how supported and steady they feel throughout the process.
