PHASES OF THE DESIGN JOURNEY

The Process

Branding doesn’t have to feel confusing or chaotic. This process is designed to guide you step by step — with clarity, intention, and plenty of support along the way. You’ll always know what’s happening, what comes next, and how everything fits together.

  • Phase one is all about understanding your story, your values, and where you want your brand to go. This phase lays the foundation for everything that follows and ensures we’re building with intention, not guesswork.

    This phase includes:

    • A 15-minute discovery call before booking

    • Client questionnaires & assignments

    • Brand research and strategy development

    • Mood board direction

    • Color palette and typography selection

    • A 20–30 minute brand vision meeting to align on logo and collateral direction

    No design begins until we’re grounded in clarity.

  • This is where your vision begins to take shape. Using the strategy we created in phase 1, I’ll begin crafting your brand identity with care and intention — transforming your story into a cohesive visual identity.

    This phase includes:

    • Logo design and refinement

    • Brand illustrations or collateral included in your package

    • Thoughtful exploration and revisions

    • Ongoing communication and check-ins

    Every decision is made with your brand’s long-term growth in mind.

  • Once designs are approved, we shift into polishing and preparing everything for real-world use. This phase ensures your brand is not only beautiful, but functional and easy to implement.

    This phase includes:

    • Final refinements and approvals

    • Exporting files for print and digital use

    • Creating brand guidelines and usage instructions

    • Social media graphics or launch assets (if included)

    You’ll leave this phase feeling confident and supported.

  • Everything is thoughtfully packaged and delivered, ready for you to step into your new brand with clarity and confidence.

    This phase includes:

    • Organized delivery of all brand files

    • Clear guidance on how to use your new assets

Love Letters

from previous clients
  • "I absolutely loved working with Cindy on this project. She was extremely thorough with the whole process and made sure I loved every detail down to the very small details. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Can’t recommend her enough!"

    —Jayci, Mountain Side Silver

  • "Cindy made every step of my rebranding process so seamless! She is the sweetest soul and is super kind and thorough with the work that she does. I now have the most beautiful outdoorsy inspired branding thanks to Cindy! 10/10 recommend!!"

    —Masha, Solder & Pine

  • "Over the years as I have created my photography business, I’ve had trouble creating a cohesive brand identity. I am someone who’s always had multiple interests which in turn has created a wider array of photography subjects. I knew when creating branding Cindy would be the perfect graphic designer to work with, and she exceeded my expectations! Cindy is incredibly detail oriented, and supports you in every phase of her process. She checked in with me every step of the way, was perceptive to changes and suggestions, and completed the project in a very timely fashion. In the end she created branding that feels very “me” and I couldn’t be more excited!"

    —Elise, Elise Berg Photography

  • "Working with Cindy has been my most seamless experience with a designer, & one of the best things I've done for my business! I'd been drawn to Cindy's art for months and I knew I needed to reach out and discuss how to rethink and rebrand our 12+ year-old small business with a fresh look and feel. Every step of the way was user-friendly from the well-organized questionnaires to Cindy's clear communication & follow-ups, and each project was delivered promptly (and beautifully!) by assigned deadlines. When it came time to go over the brand strategy she created for Moss, I was blown away by her vision board - It was as if she'd known our store for years"

    —Hayley, Moss Port Angeles

  • "Working with Cindy was nothing short of transformational. This wasn’t just a design project with a dream of finding the perfect font (though she totally did). A birthing of something long-dreamed and deeply felt. Cindy didn’t just make a brand for Folk & Fire—she translated its soul into form. She took all the nuance, the grit, the mythic beauty, the land-based medicine, the sacred chaos—and brought it to life with such reverence, intention, and artistry that I honestly cried when I saw the final designs."

    —Sia, Folk & Fire Apothecary

  • "Cindy was such a pleasure to work with! I have had my small candle business for a few years and have never been able to capture the look or vibe I envisioned for my brand. Cindy exceeded my expectations! She was so easy to work with, the turnaround time was so quick and she made sure I was satisfied with everything every step of the way. For any business owner or brand who may wondering if they should make the investment to work with her-- DO IT! Thank you Cindy! "

    —Brianna, Red Rock Candle Co,

  • "Cindy was incredible to work with. From our first meeting, I could tell that she cared deeply about understanding and bringing our brand vision to life. She exceeded all expectations in that venture. Our branding is accessible to our clients and visually beautiful. Over the last few weeks since our launch, we have been complimented endlessly on our branding and logo suite. We truly can't thank Cindy enough. "

    —Ashley, The Roaming Vet Team

  • "I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cindy on my logo and branding, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my vision, my business, and my goals, and she truly brought it all to life. The final design is even better than I could’ve imagined—it perfectly captures the essence of my brand in such a beautiful, professional, and creative way."

    —Coast 2 Coast Dogs
