Work with us
Creative Direction & Design

The brand has a mood, some references, maybe a palette someone chose in 2021. What it doesn't have is a governing logic — a reason these things belong together and a clear answer for what comes next.

These services are for the moment when the material is real but the world isn't holding.

DIAGNOSTIC
01
Brand World Audit

A diagnostic read on an existing brand — what the pieces are doing, what's in tension, what's missing, and what the priority moves are. For brands that feel scattered, visually or conceptually, and need an outside assessment before committing to a full rebuild.

Deliverables:
  • Brand & visual review
  • Reference and taste analysis
  • Messaging notes
  • Visual direction
  • Prioritized fix list
From $450

PROJECT
02
Brand Identity & Visual Direction

A visual and verbal foundation built from the work outward — not a logo and a hex code, but a system that makes the brand recognizable, usable, and specific enough to make decisions from. For businesses, studios, book projects, and creative practices that need an identity with depth, not just a deliverable.

Deliverables:
  • Logo and marks
  • Typography system
  • Color system
  • Brand guidelines
  • Messaging foundations
  • Application notes
From $2,500

INTENSIVE
03
Brand World Intensive

For a brand mid-growth with real accumulated material — an audience, a product line, a partial identity, references that have never been organized — that has no coherent world. A deep-read and direction-setting engagement that produces the governing logic the brand has been missing.

Deliverables:
  • Brand diagnosis
  • Audience and positioning notes
  • Visual direction
  • Messaging direction
  • Product and content expression notes
  • Build roadmap
From $1,500

SPRINT
04
Creative Direction Sprint

For one defined, time-bound project — a campaign, launch, product shoot, publication, or event — that needs clear creative direction now. Contained scope. Clear output. The difference between a project that holds together and one that doesn't is usually this kind of upstream decision.

Deliverables:
  • Campaign concept
  • Art direction
  • Content angles
  • Visual treatment
  • Launch and messaging direction
  • Asset recommendations
From $1,500

All Pathways
01. Creative Direction & Design
The brand has a mood, some references, maybe a palette someone chose in 2021. What it doesn't have is a governing logic — a reason these things belong together and a clear answer for what comes next.These services are for the moment when the material is real but the world isn't holding.
02. Editorial & Book Design
The writing is done, or mostly done. The problem is that the material is still raw — curriculum in a Google Doc, a manuscript that hasn't become a book yet, a body of knowledge with no designed object to live inside. These services are for the moment when the content is ready but the form isn't.
03. Writing & Editing
A draft that's been worked on long enough is hard to see clearly. You know what you were trying to do. You're less certain you did it. These services are for writers who need a trained, honest outside read — not praise, not a quick pass for typos, but a real diagnostic look at what the project is actually doing and what it needs next.
04. Creative Strategy & Advisory
Some of the most important creative work happens between the projects — the decisions about what to build, how to frame it, what the audience actually needs, what to do with this month's material. These services are for the writer, founder, artist, or creative business that needs a sharp, recurring outside mind on the work.
*/ Custom Work & Add-ons
Some work crosses categories — a brand identity that needs editorial design built in, a manuscript that needs editing and a book interior, a launch that needs creative direction and writing support. Some work just needs a scope that isn't listed here. Custom engagements are available for projects that span service families, require add-on deliverables, or fall outside the standard tiers. Get in touch with a description of what you're making and I'll come back with a scope and a quote.
