The Secret to Building a Brand People Recognize, Love, and Trust

Picture it: Los Angeles, 2022. The morning I almost became a Dateline episode.

It started like any ordinary Saturday. Mid-morning, partly cloudy skies, birds doing their bird things. I was living in a quiet(ish) Southside neighborhood, where sun-faded stucco homes from the ’70s lined the streets, just a stone’s throw from the 405, and soaked in everyday SoCal suburbia—or, in my case, a true crime documentary.

Welcome to my blog, where I dive into all things brand strategy, design, business—and yes, occasionally dogs (because, seriously, what's better than dogs??). Grab a coffee and let’s chat about building brands that bark, bite, and make an impact!

What is brand strategy? And why you need it

I’m breaking down how a strong brand strategy can unlock serious business growth. From nailing your brand’s identity to creating those "we need this" vibes with your audience, I'll walk you through how to build a brand that’s more than just a logo—it’s a game changer.

Once upon a logo project, I used to send clients a way-too-long questionnaire that read more like a pop quiz from branding hell. And every time? The answers were vague at best—or skipped altogether.

Hear about that lightbulb moment (flickering though it was), and how it led me to ditch the overwhelm and finally create a process that makes branding feel less like a chore—and more like clarity.

There are few things I love more than bringing bold, badass branding visions to life so hungry go-getters like you can live the dream – building a business you're proud of and your customers can't get enough of.
