Meet Erin
I help you build brands you can live in, and teach you to use them powerfully.

I Learned This Work By Living It
I didn't start as a designer-coach. I started as a designer who kept watching clients get beautiful brands—then freeze.
They'd struggle to show up. Second-guess their messaging. Feel fake in their marketing.
That's when I realized: design alone isn't enough.
I design your complete brand system AND teach you how to live in it—how to show up as yourself and turn what makes you different into business growth.
I've evolved my own brand more times than most people think is "allowed." I know what it takes to actually OWN your positioning instead of just having it on paper.
That's the work I do with clients.

Not who you think you should be. Not the "professional" version. The real you—even the parts you're afraid to show.

I ask deep questions.
What makes you different? What are you not claiming that's actually your strength?

Your brand will change. You will change. That's not a bug, it's a feature. We build brands that can grow with you instead of locking you into who you were.

I coach you to use it
I teach you to market like yourself and stop second-guessing.

Many of my clients have used the same brand foundations for over a decade—evolving, launching new programs, pivoting—without complete rebrands. This saves them money and builds real brand equity.

What Makes Me Different
I bring more than design to every project:
Psychology + healing knowledge – Understanding what blocks people from owning their authority
Art direction – Creating emotional resonance, not just pretty visuals
Presence coaching – Teaching you how to show up powerfully
Business strategy – Your brand and business model work together
Brand transformation requires inner + outer work. You need a brand that reflects who you are AND the coaching to actually use it.

“I never could have come up with something as creative and multi-faceted as you did, and really appreciated the way you asked a tremendous number of questions in order to understand who I am, what I do, who my target market is and how I want my business to be present in the world.”

EVELYN KALINOSKY
COACH
She was the perfect blend of creative ideas, knowledge and implementation. She did what she said and she said what she did. I continue to use the branding logo and materials that she designed for me and I will hire her again when it is time to re-brand.
