an intentional and timeless approach rooted in
strategy for the entrepreneur who cares
Through collaborative brand strategy, strategy-backed brand design, and conversion-driven website design, I work with passionate female founders just like you to intentionally build brands that tell a story to connect with your ideal audience on an emotional level, convert them to customers, and leave them thinking about you long after they last interacted with your brand.
"In today's landscape, when consumers have more choice, knowledge, and power than ever before, you have to approach branding with integrity from the beginning.
BRANDING EXPERT EMILY HEYWARD SAID IT BEST
Before you even start to think about your logo, you need to figure out what you're aiming to do for people and how you want them to feel as a result. It's about creating an experience that solves real problems for people, and doing so in a way that makes them feel understood and uplifted."
My desire is to understand what makes your business different from everyone else, so we can craft a story that effortlessly conveys why people should care about what you offer and more importantly, illustrates how your service or product is the solution to their real-life problems.
A surface level logo and a website template purchased on Etsy or Fiverr that was not designed or customized with your ideal audience, business goals, or needs in mind just won't cut it anymore.
This is why the Briarcroft Lane signature process begins with high-touch strategy for each and every design project I take on. I believe that in order to develop a strong brand, we need to get to the root of your business's reason for existing.
Because, as Bernard Kelvin Clive said, "Without differentiation you have no brand."
A brand without strategy is like a roadtrip without a map (or Waze). You'll likely end up frustrated and lost, but not until after you've lost time–and money. I'll take you through my signature brand strategy process where we'll dive into your business to uncover your vision, purpose, and mission, while gaining clarity on your ideal client/customer and your industry positioning so we can effectively communicate your values and unique differentiator through your brand messaging to attract your dream clients and stand out from your competition.
Once we're crystal clear on what you do, who you serve, and why it matters, we can tell your brand story through every touchpoint of your brand. Now, it's time for the design that will illustrate it! From logos to branded materials and social media graphics, we will design a cohesive visual brand that is timeless and authentic to you and your story.

Don't see yourself on this list? Not to worry, I love working with new businesses across different industries!
Not to worry, its not goodbye from there, just see you later! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines and will only be an email away. We can always work together again when you're ready with my exclusive service for past clients, The Design Day!
Before we get to designing, I want to take the time to dive deep into your business to uncover who you are, what you value, what makes you unique, and why your audience should care. You'll start by filling out our brand strategy questionnaire which will guide our 2-hour brand strategy session where we will develop the strategy that will be our map for the road ahead. This is the most insightful part of the process that will leave you with so much clarity and confidence in your brand! You'll walk away with a 25+ page Brand Strategy Guide outlining your business's one-of-a-kind strategy.
After deciding which creative direction you want to go with, I will build out the rest of your brand elements including, but not limited to, alternate logos, submarks, elements, etc. I will compile these elements into your brand board, an easy-to-reference document of your cohesive visual brand.
With each piece of the visual part of your brand finalized, I will compile it all into an extensive 20+ page Brand Style Guide for you to use to implement your new brand within your business. We'll close out our time together with a 45-minute session to review it all in detail and answer any remaining questions. We'll finish the call with a virtual glass of wine (or whatever your drink of choice is!) to celebrate the end of a successful project together!
Now that we are crystal clear on who you are and the story you want to tell, it's time to dive into creative direction! I will use the direction we decided on in your brand strategy to curate a mood board to visually guide us. During our concept presentation, I will present color palette options, font pairings, and several different logo options for you to choose from.
Now that we have your design foundation set, it's time to design the remaining pieces of your brand: the branded marketing materials. I'll craft a custom package for you based on your individual needs. This could look like social media templates, stationary, packaging, lead magnets, or other branded materials.
Before we start designing your website, we want to take the time to start with strategy and intention to ensure your site is built to your specific needs, goals, and audience. You'll start by filling out our website strategy questionnaire which will guide our strategy session where we will plan out your website. We will cover all things design, brand photography (if you don't already have it), page structure, website copy, content, and search engine optimization.
Now that we are crystal clear on how we will create a conversion-driven user experience that will connect with your audience through the site map and content plan, its time to jump into design! We will use your beautiful new brand to create a custom homepage design that will act as the roadmap for the rest of your website. The homepage design is most important since you only have a short timespan to make a good first impression on your visitor and make them want to explore more. The homepage will set the tone and feel for the rest of your website.
With the design finalized and the mobile version optimized for user-experience, your preview site will be sent to you for final approval and you'll be able to provide any revisions you have. I will integrate your email marketing forms and social media accounts, as well as making sure your site is SEO-optimized on the back end to ensure your website can be found by search engines like Google.
Now that we are laser-focused on what your individual needs are for your website, I will take all of the information gathered during our strategy session to build a site map that will guide the design and development of your site. This will outline how we'll create a conversion-driven user experience that connects with your audience. From the number of pages to content for each page, this site map will also be used to plan the content for your site. I will provide you with resources so that you can write your own copy or outsource it to a copywriter! With easy-to-use templates created by a website copywriter I have personally been mentored by, you won't have to stare at a blinking cursor wondering what the heck to write.
Once you approve your homepage design, then we will build out the rest of your pages using it as the foundation. Depending on your individual needs, that may include the About, Services, Portfolio, Shop, Blog, Podcast, and/or Contact pages. We'll input your website copy, images, and content ensuring the design and content feels cohesive across all pages of your website.
I will work directly with the Showit team to connect your domain and launch your site. Before your site goes live, we will hop on a 1-hour training session to review your site. I'll show you the ropes and answer any questions so you feel empowered to make your own edits to your site moving forward. I'll provide you with a recording of our call and launch graphics to celebrate your new website on your social channels. We'll toast to a successful partnership and celebrate your website launch! You'll also receive 30 days post-launch email support to ask any questions as you get acclimated to your new site.
