Real talk: you’re not the problem. Inside Brand by Design™, we build your message, voice, and visuals into a holistic system that cuts through AI sameness, so you stop second-guessing, stop chasing trends, and show up with a brand that’s instantly recognizable (and converts).
Between AI-generated sameness and “this is working right now” advice, most brands end up sounding polished… and completely interchangeable.
We align your identity, messaging, visuals, and expression around your wiring — your Human Design, your nervous system, and the way you naturally work and communicate, so your brand stops blending in and starts being recognized.
And that disconnect starts to look a lot like this:
If you’re looking for another aesthetic refresh that slaps pretty colors on top of misalignment… there’s a template shop for that. In Brand by Design, we rebuild your brand from the inside out — identity, messaging, visuals, and expression — so every piece of your presence finally feels like you.
You’re not just getting a rebrand.
You’ll have a brand people understand in 5 seconds — what you do, who it’s for, and why it matters —plus, you'll feel hella confident showing up in a way that attracts your perfect people. (Burnout not included).
We unlock your positioning, message, and brand voice, so people get what you do and your brand stops feeling scattered.
You get a complete, custom visual direction: colors, fonts, tone, style, and application, so your brand looks consistent everywhere without guessing in Canva.
We translate your story and expertise into cohesive, memorable messaging, so you become the go-to and inquiries (plus referrals, collaborations, and features) start coming to you.
We design a content plan and expression strategy that honors your Human Design, your nervous system, and your energy patterns, so consistency becomes a byproduct, not a burden.
Maryam didn’t need a rebrand; she needed a brand. Post-layoff, she was building her next chapter (book + company), but without positioning, visuals, or a system, showing up felt like guessing in public (and getting lost in a sea of influencers), so she kept delaying and thinking she wasn't ready.
Within 24 hours of launching her new brand, Maryam’s Substack hit #6 on the Business chart. In 30 days, her IG analytics jumped 5,000% and she brought in $1,000 in a single day from her community. And within 90 days, she landed a book agent—because her positioning was finally clear, cohesive, and impossible to ignore.
Christi had decades of experience and a powerful track record of transforming leaders, but none of it was being reflected online. She didn’t have clear branding, high-res visuals, or cohesive messaging that connected her coaching, her book, and her larger mission.
Now, Christi has a storytelling-driven brand that visually and emotionally conveys her signature framework (+ hit 10,000% increase in analytics in 30 days).
Her brand is cohesive, her content has a clear thread from her bestselling book to her retreats and coaching, and her voice feels aligned across every touchpoint. She’s now positioned as the go-to thought leader for executive women — a 3x bestselling author with a strong, connected community, built from a small but mighty following.
"After Meredith & Mary clarified my brand's message around my personal values, and built a brand kit that actually fits me, people understood what I was about immediately. We built my first signature series, and the results speak for themselves: Seven TikToks brought about 128,000 views and 1,100+ new followers, and Instagram hit almost 11,500 views. I've made over 5 sales, and they're still coming in. Do what they say. It works."

We are not responsible for the newfound confidence, time, abundance, and peace you’ll have on your hands (…okay, maybe we’re a little responsible 😉)
You’re insanely good at what you do — gifted, intuitive, creative — but your sales (or lack thereof) don’t reflect your talent (yet).
You’ve tried the formulas, the funnels, the “just post more” energy, the content calendars, the hustle routines…and somehow you still feel like you’re doing everything right, with nothing to show for it.
You crave a business/brand that supports your creativity and life, not one that drains it. You want structure, yes… but the aligned, energizing kind, not the “I need a 3-day nap after this launch” kind.
Bro-marketing makes your skin crawl. You don’t want hype, pressure, or “DM 10 people every day” tactics. You want a brand that feels clean, confident, magnetic, and still converts.
You know you have something powerful to say…you just haven’t figured out how to communicate it in a way that gets people to understand it, and buy.
Your audience comments, shares, and says all the right things — but those “How do I work with you?” messages? Crickets.
You’re not a beginner, but you’re just missing a brand and sales ecosystem designed for your energy, not someone else’s.
You want to stop rewriting your offer and reinvent yourself every week. You want a brand that looks, sounds, and sells like you — not the version of you a coach told you to be in 2021.
And now people I haven’t heard from in years are popping back up—asking me to run workshops.!”
is that I’m not designed for most 'marketing shoulds', so learning what rhythms felt like a gut yes and having a new system in place for it was empowering. Now, I show up with confidence and sell by being myself.”
align with my core values, and attract the right people. Literally, the signature series we created increased my followers by over 1,450 across platforms, and I made 4 sales with the first post.”
And people are genuinely connecting with my content and leaving messages."
I listened to both the pulse and affirmations right before bed, and I got right up and did my full morning and business routine, even though my sleep was not great. I feel so positive and energized. Thank you a billion times!”
They said it's even better than some speakers who have been in the business for many years, so thank you.
