brb, time for a makeover.

Last year was whack, so we decided
f*&k it, let’s revamp the biz + website, too.

Scroll down for the 411 while the new site is being built, or get in touch if you have a specific question.

Visual Identity Branding

You worked so hard crafting the blueprints for your business, let’s keep that momentum going by now establishing the foundation. Your branding goes beyond having a logo; it’s strategy that will highlight what makes you you. Yeah it’s going to look good, but there’s also strategy sewn into the aesthetics.

 

Designer for a Day

In a rush to get things launched with a laundry list of items? Let’s get some caffeine and knock it out. Book me for a full or half day and you become VIP with my full attention. Limited spots available each month.

Large projects are not included such as branding or websites.

Graphic Design Retainer

Add me as an extended teammate in blocks of 10 or 20 hours per month. A retainer gives you access to a professional designer who understands your brand without the overhead costs of a full-time employee. With a retainer package, you won’t have to worry about fluxes in rate and availability from month-to-month— just high quality work on a consistent basis.

 

Squarespace Website Design

You could DIY your own website, but do you really want to? You’re either a) trying to build a new business from the ground up, or b) absolutely killing it where you’re ready for growth. Either way your hands are full and you have a lot on your plate; allow me to take one less headache away and build out your website for you.

hi, I’m JB.

Contrary to every recommendation people give for small businesses, I’m not a fan of niching down to one industry. Instead, I’d rather focus on the individual(s) to partner with regardless of whether your business is in the financial, health + wellness, travel, or (fill in the blank) industries.

I’m looking for the go-getters, the authentic individuals who want to set the world on fire to make change for the better; the brave ones who are ok with going off the beaten path to do things differently; the ones who have an off kilter sense of humor. 

Authenticity will always be key and a major factor of how I do business with others. I’d much prefer to be a little rough around the edges than a perfect, cookie cut sample blending among the rest. Stay weird and be/do you, friends.

So, what do I actually do?

 

The simplest answer that I keep giving my grandma when she asks is, “I help other businesses make the right impression by shining a light on what sets them apart.” 

You wouldn’t show up to a black tie wedding wearing a sports jersey, so why are you letting your business convey a similar message with outdated DIY materials? Let’s update your (biz) wardrobe with a bespoke suit. Let’s make your clients’ (and competitors’) heads turn.

 

My design work goes beyond making something look good just for the sake of aesthetics; there is also a strategy behind every choice. Before focusing my skills on branding and design I came from a nearly decade-long career in marketing, so I understand the purpose of why things need to be created and what function they serve.

 

What I also do is act as a sounding board for new founders and solopreneuers. During our conversations, I always like to nudge boundaries and ask deeper questions about your business and mission to view things universally and holistically. Whatever entrepreneurial lessons I’ve learned along the way, I’m happy to share them with you.

High five, you’ve made it to today.

Let’s chat to see if Bright Thoughts is the right partner for you.
