Designer on tap.

You've got the creative vision and strategy, the client relationships, and the finely-honed skills to bring your client's brand to life.

But you don't have the time.

Ready for a stress-free design process?

Wanna hear a secret?

I’ve got a stack of NDAs holding up my table lamp.

For years I’ve been told that I’m the “best kept secret on the internet” - by clients, creative directors, and big name brands.

I’ve put the “secret” in the secret sauce for more than a few household names. While you may not have heard of me, you’ve probably seen my work.

I’ve been designing and developing behind the scenes of some of our industry’s big brands - creating assets such as slide decks for courses, brand identities, and strategic websites for audiences both big and small.

Good design creates impact. And great design? It’s nearly invisible.

And now I'm going public.

WE’RE BETTER TOGETHER.

I’m a full-stack designer who also happens to be a human-centered design and social PR professor with over ten years of agency experience. I know my stuff. And you do, too.

At the corner of creative direction and data-driven design, we can build beautiful brands that drive impact for your clients.

Together, we can create beautiful brain babies brands.

ARE WE A FIT? THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You're a creative director or designer working to build brands.
  • Digging deep to find the heart of a brand is how you roll.
  • You've got a vision for your client's project. And you're ready to share it with me when we work together.
  • You get it. Scaling simply requires more hours than you currently have.
  • You believe handing off something as critical AND precious as design takes a special trust and relationship - trust you're ready to build.
  • You’re ready to scale your business and need to share the workload with someone who gets your vision.
  • You want more than just a second set of design eyes on your creative briefs, you want a design nerd with a gift for data and strategy to breathe life into your project and make magical internet things happen.

Website Design + Strategy

Designing an experience

I looped Lydia into this project to create a new site for a polar expedition company. I asked her to make something special out of some existing brand elements, and in bringing her flair for design and knowledge of how to create a digital user journey to the project, she fulfilled the brief and more. My client was thrilled, and I knew I'd found a special design partner.

She didn't just design a site. She designed an experience.

So... how's this work?

Good design is 99% invisible. And so am I.

I'll be working behind the scenes to bring your project to life. You stay in control - communicating with your client, sharing teasers and sneak peaks, and collecting quality feedback.

The process:

Brand Identity

It's time to turn ideas into visuals. You've done the foundational work with your client and you're ready to move into the next phase.

Brand Development.

Let's work together to build strategic, visual brand for your client. You'll stay in the creative director or brand strategist role - guiding the project at critical points. But the hours of figuring out how to fuse ideas to strategy? That's almost off your plate. Get in touch today to make a plan.

What's included:

Website Design + Dev

So we've got a brand, but we need a website that connects + converts? Let's do it.

You know your client's brand and business goals - I'll help transform them into a website design.

Often, people forget that the point of a website is to inform and make sales - let's make your client's website a sales machine! I work primarily in WordPress + Shopify for flexibility, scalability, and cool...ability? No matter, we'll me a website you'll be proud to help launch!

What's included:

Brand Elevation. Strategy. Connection.

Lydia took my old brand and transformed it into one that aligned with WHO I am and how I serve my clients. I was shocked by the level of strategy she poured into the process. From a conversation, she pulled ideas and connected my client experience to my brand seamlessly.
