Your brand should work as hard as you do.

You've built something real, a loyal clientele, a packed schedule, a reputation that speaks for itself. But your logo was made in Canva three years ago and your brand doesn't reflect the quality of what you actually deliver.

I create brand identities for small businesses in the beauty, wellness, and creative industries that look polished, feel intentional, and give you the confidence to show up consistently everywhere, from your website to your business cards to your Instagram grid.

Your brand is more than just a logo.

Does your brand tell your story?

A logo on its own doesn't tell anyone who you are, what you do, or why they should trust you. A brand does. It's the colors, the typography, the photography style, the way your website feels when someone lands on it, all working together to create a first impression before you ever say a word.

When your brand is cohesive, people take you seriously. They feel confident booking with you, buying from you, referring you. When it's not, even great work can get overlooked because the packaging doesn't match the product.

That's why I don't just hand over a logo and call it done. Every brand I build is a complete system, designed to work across your website, your social media, your packaging, and anywhere else your business shows up.

The Designer

I'm Melissa, a brand and web designer based in Michigan, specializing in small businesses in the beauty, wellness, and creative industries.

I've designed brands and built websites for hair stylists, estheticians, interior designers, photographers, boutique owners, and law firms. Businesses run by people who are great at what they do but don't have the time (or the desire) to figure out design on their own.

I graduated from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit with my BFA in Communication Design and my Masters in User Experience Design. I’ve spent the last decade working across print, web, and mobile design. That range means I think about your brand as a full system, not just a logo, but how it shows up on a business card, a website, a storefront sign, and a social media post.
