That D.I.Y. branding was exactly what you needed to get started!
But you’ve leveled up. Yay!

Now it’s time to Leave Your Mark on the industry.

Done-For-You Brand Design

Your dream clients are ready to make big investments.
Big investments that require big trust.

They’re looking for service providers who are dead serious about their craft and their business. Service providers like you.

But… you can’t project that level of commitment with surface-level, temporary-tattoo-energy branding. You need sharp strategy and intentional, tattoo-worthy visuals to scare away the price-shoppers, position you as THE industry expert, and start your legacy.

Leave Your Mark is the complete DFY brand strategy & identity package that gets you those results in as little as 4-12 weeks.

Tiered packages from $9,000 - $5,000. Payment plans available.

Stop wasting time convincing random people you’re worth it and start getting a “HELL YES!” from dream clients before they even get in touch.

Hell Yes!

“I actually just booked my highest package to date. It is literally 75% higher than my typical package.

The messaging I have now is so much more than ‘look at this pretty thing I did.’ It speaks about how people feel with me & how people connect with me. It has really elevated the way that I show up and speak about myself and my brand.”

– Blair Mielke

Let me be clear: I’m NOT trash talking your current brand!

That logo your cousin made on Canva, the fonts you picked based off of vibezzzz alone, and that make-it-up-as-you-go-along strategy got you to where you are today.

But it’s as far as they’re going to take you.

You’ve been in business 4-5 years, you’re making good money, and your skills are almost unmatched. But, you’re hitting that plateau. Why?

If you want to grow, we’re going to have to wipe these temporary tattoos off to make room for your permanent marks.

Fully Booked

You're fully booked, but only because your capacity is low! You’re trading ALL your time and earning LESS than you know you could be. It’s time to expand that.

Booking Vacays

You start attracting higher-ticket clients so you work less for more. Being ‘fully booked’ is no longer the flex you want. You want to be making more money than you are now, and freeing up more time in your schedule for those much needed vacations.

Vibez Master

You’re showing up authentically, but not strategically. You’re attracting people who love your energy, but not necessarily people who have the premium budget.

Mastermind

You’re always 7 steps ahead. You build a sturdy brand with the deep strategy that makes sure your visuals and messaging attract 100% aligned clients who instantly trust your authority, and are ready to invest.

Hustle

You've survived the grind of the startup phase, but now you lack a clear map for sustainable, premium growth.

Legacy

You get a definitive brand framework and visuals built for the next decade, eliminating the chaotic guesswork of the startup phase.

“First draft in, I knew I wanted to get this logo tattooed on my body. And I did.”

– Elizabeth Kurpanek, Embr Films

Yeah. She really did!

is your LEVEL UP to Legacy

Unfortunately, people do judge a book by its cover. Especially when they need to invest serious money in that book.

With Leave Your Mark, we take everything that’s already great about you up a couple of notches, creating a version of your brand that is clear, confident, feels good to embody, and looks irresistible to your dream clients.

Why Tattoos?
I’m glad you asked!

Because a legacy brand is like a tattoo: it’s intentional, it’s deep, it’s full of meaning, and it's built to last for the next chapters of your legacy.

"I remember audibly squealing... It finally felt like I had something that was ME. It was just amazing to see that I could be that weird and eclectic and punk kid but have it be refined." – Blair M.

I know you want sexy fresh brand ink, but pretty visuals without strategy are just stickers. With an expert deep-dive strategy, you’ll know why your visual identity works, plus have the killer aesthetics that make you excited to show up online.

Why settle for a sticker when you can have a whole world?

Out with the old brand, in with the brand new!

“Working with Kristy on my new branding... has already had such a huge ROI that I would do it again 10x over."

“I am already getting clients that are 1000% aligned with my mission and values, and they are pointing them out by name when I ask why they picked me over the hundreds of others in the area”

- Blair Mielke, Founder of Blonding by B and Aeternum Artistry

Roll up your sleeve. This is going to hurt.

I’m kidding!! Haven’t you met me? 😂

I’m Kristy Black (they/she), brand strategist and designer, and I'm here to tell you that it IS that deep, and that your branding needs to go even deeper if it's going to stick around.

For over 14 years, I’ve been building brands that last. Just ask Elizabeth from Embr Films!

My work has spanned everything from solopreneurs ready to scale to international businesses and products carried in major national retailers like Sephora, Nordstrom, and Urban Outfitters.

This means I know exactly what it takes to build a brand that is capable of operating at a high level. Which is exactly why you’re here, right?

Great! And I’m here to make sure that the premium work you do is finally backed by a brand strategy and visual identity that are built for longevity and position you as THE expert in your niche.

Leave a mark that HITS the mark.

We go deeper than generic, surface-level values like ‘authentic’, ‘professional’ and ‘trustworthy’ (if any of those are your “values”, please call me IMMEDIATELY) to create a brand that is focused and sharp.

This is the strategic foundation common to all the Leave Your Mark tiers:

Brand Clarity Guide

Uncovering your core vision, mission, and the Dream Client Profiles that correlate to your unique offers.

Messaging & Voice

Developing the guidance that ensures everything you say is easier, clearer, and consistently attracts high-value clients.

Tattoo-Worthy Visuals

Creating a core visual identity (palette, fonts, logos) that instantly levels up your brand.

"It was really awesome to sit and think about the values I hold as a person and business owner and know that making those things loud and clear would attract the people who wanted to work with me and that REPELLING people was a GOOD thing."

– Blair Mielke

See the R.O.I. inked in the reviews:

“As a graphic designer who is also a perfectionist - it was great to work with someone I could trust that would make sure the new branding matched our overall business goals.”

– Cara Jo Knapp, Founder of Knapp Design Co. & Stationer to Stationer
“I have had planners specifically reach out to me because of my inclusivity... she said she knew that I would take amazing care of her and that she would feel SAFE with me."

- Blair Mielke, Founder of Blonding by B and Aeternum Artistry
“I was worried that I wasn't going to like the change after making the investment, and it wouldn't feel like me... I can say for sure that it was worth it! Kristy delivered a new brand that feels so true to me, my business, and where I want to go into the future!”

– Katie Fletcher, Lead Photographer + Founder of Katie Fletcher Photography
“Everything I do content-wise is eight million times easier now because of the difference your brand strategy made. It’s so much easier because I know what I’m saying, I know who I am, and I know who I’m talking to.”

- Jennifer Nagel
