Branding & Style Guides

More than logos – it’s the voice, the vision, the vibe.
Teams use my guides to reduce revision loops, align faster, and ship consistent work.

A strong brand isn’t just what you see – it’s what you feel. The rhythm of a headline. The warmth of a caption. Colors and type that appear the same way on every page, slide, or post. I help teams turn abstract ideas into tangible systems that scale without losing their soul.

From defining voice and visual identity to writing clear, usable style manuals, I craft guides that balance inspiration and instruction. Startups, political campaigns, and multi-location property brands partner with me to bring structure to creativity so every message is consistent, memorable, and unmistakably you.

I’ve supported residential communities, political organizations, and commercial projects with internal style guides that quietly power day-to-day communications across digital and print – aligning tone, visuals, and messaging at every touchpoint.

While full documents remain confidential, here’s a representative sample of entities I’ve supported:

  • Saucony Commons
  • The Pointe at Neptune
  • The Edge at Main
  • The Crossings at Hamilton Station
  • The Villas at Fairway
  • Evergreen at Timber Glen
  • New Patriotic Party, USA Branch (NPP-USA)
  • (…and others not listed for privacy reasons)

We finally sounded like one company. Approvals sped up, and the brand felt alive again.

Frequently asked … answered.

Scope matters. A focused voice and visuals guide can take a few weeks; a full component library takes longer. I propose a timeline after a short discovery call.
Yes, because we build it with your team. Clear examples, editable templates, and quick-start checklists make adoption easy on day one.
Absolutely. I audit what works, retire what doesn’t, and document a system where legacy and new assets play nicely together.
You receive a complete, ready-to-use style guide that includes voice principles, brand colors, type hierarchy, logo usage, and examples. If we create a design system, you'll also get reusable templates and asset libraries.
Not at all. I've worked with startups, political campaigns, nonprofits, and multi-location property brands. The process scales up or down depending on the size and complexity of your team.
Yes. Many organizations have an outdated PDF that no one uses. I can audit what still works, update the visuals, refine the voice, and repackage everything into a modern, accessible format that your team will actually follow.
Yes. I typically include a handover workshop or training session where I walk your team through the guide, answer questions, and show them how to apply it day-to-day.
Feedback is built into the process. I usually work in stages, so you can review voice, visuals, and layouts separately before the full guide is finalized. That way, revisions are manageable and you always feel in control.
A style guide is a living document. I design mine so they can be updated easily as your brand grows. Many clients ask me back for a "refresh" once they expand into new markets or launch new products.
Yes. I make sure the guide covers both digital channels (web, social, email) and traditional print (brochures, signage, stationery). That way, your message stays consistent everywhere.
