Wild Blackberry Studio

Wild Blackberry Studio Every brand is transmitting, all the time. You don’t have to settle for mediocre design just because your budget is small business sized. Let’s talk.)

We help changemakers, purpose-driven organizations, and the teams behind complex ideas make sure what they’re putting into the world actually sounds and looks like them. I love helping small businesses figure out who they are and what they want people to feel and remember about them and then creating an identity around that. My personal goals include making great brands that support small business goals, getting opportunities to work with and learn from other designers, earning enough greenbacks to fill a pair of college funds and finally, supporting my rather serious font habit. (Oh, and I should mention I am open to unique arrangements, including temp and contract work and bartering services for services. No matter what size your business, your business needs good design.

Just because you've had the same logo for years, it doesn't necessarily mean you need a new one.

I think that's worth remembering when you're considering refreshing your brand.

Sometimes you've simply gotten tired of looking at the same things. Which makes sense. You see your brand every single day.....but your customers don't.

They recognize your logo immediately. They might remember your business because of the colors you've used. They might even appreciate that your website feels familiar when they come back. So before making changes, ask yourself what's actually causing problems.

- Are customers confused about what you offer?
- Has your business grown beyond what your current website communicates?
- Or are you simply ready to see something different?

Those are very different reasons for making a change. And sometimes keeping what already works is the smartest decision you can make.

There's comfort in having a clear direction.

I love the idea of getting to a point where making decisions about your brand feels natural.

You have a new idea and can tell how it fits. And when it's time to update your website or put together a new campaign, you're not starting from scratch. You already know what you want to say. I think that's a really good feeling to have as a business owner. Especially when you've spent so much time building a business you're proud of.

That's one of my favorite things about the Clarity Intensive. We get to look at the bigger picture of your brand and figure out a direction that makes all those everyday decisions a little easier.

Because wouldn't it be nice if running your business came with a few fewer decisions to make before lunch?

If you'd like to feel a little more confident about the direction of your brand, I'd love to help you get there. The Clarity Intensive gives us dedicated time to look at your business and figure out what needs to be clearer so those everyday decisions come a little easier.

Thinking about updating your brand? Before you start changing things, take a look at what your customers are actually experiencing.

If people visit your website and still have to email you to understand your services, that's worth fixing.

If your business has grown but your messaging still describes what you offered five years ago, it's probably time for an update.

But if your customers recognize your business, understand what you offer, and know what to expect when they work with you, those are things worth keeping.

I always think it's helpful to ask yourself one thing before making a change: What problem will this actually solve?

Because a new logo won't fix confusing services. And redesigning your entire website might be unnecessary if the real issue is that your message needs to be clearer.

Sometimes a few thoughtful changes will do more for your business than starting over.

Knowing the difference can save you quite a bit of time and money.

What if branding wasn't just about graphic design, but about channeling? 🦅

In this Lucky 13 clip, we get into the deeply intuitive process of building a visual identity. For me, it feels like being a conduit—taking what someone is already creating and giving it a shape and feel that others can truly experience.

Melissa Boyd shares how weaving energy psychology into color and texture resulted in a completely seamless experience for her clients. When you do feeling, sensing, human-connection kind of work, your brand needs that specific flavor of design to actually resonate.

What happens to your mindset when your business actually starts scaling? 📈

In this clip from our Lucky 13 series, Sharif drops some major wisdom about growth. Whether it's just you or a team of 50 people, the goal should always be to remain a student first. It is about staying open to the opinions of everyone in the room, no matter where they sit in the hierarchy.

Sharif and I also dive into how our own collaboration evolved over the years. What started as rigid, task-based ex*****on turned into an open canvas where we can actually have fun creating, all because we put in the time to build mutual trust.
