How I Can Help

Four ways to work together, each designed around where you are and what you’re building.

Client Love

  • "She took the time to really understand our vision and passion..."

    “Alexandra is truly a Gem! From the beginning to the end, Alexandra hit the mark! She took the time to really understand our vision and passion. She required us to dig deep and really think about our brand from the various perspectives. With our answers, Alexandra curated our Brand Identity. The first brand presentation she sent over brought happy tears to my eyes because it allowed me to see my vision as a reality! I am so grateful for our time working together and will definitely recommend The Essentielle Studio to those looking to take their brand to the next level. Working with Alexandra was a collaborative dream! Our entire team loved working with Alexandra!”

She created exactly what I wanted, and worked tirelessly to make sure my website felt like me. The questions she asked made me think about my brand and website through a new framework that was incredibly beneficial. I always felt like I knew exactly where we were in the process, what was needed from me, and all my feedback or questions were quickly implemented or answered. I cannot recommend her enough!

MY APPROACH

Meaning Architecture™

Great brands aren’t decorated. They’re built. Every engagement follows the same thinking, so every creative choice has something true to stand on.

01

02

03

Foundation

We uncover what your brand stands for, what it promises, and who it truly belongs to.

Translation

We shape how that meaning shows up: your pillars, your voice, and the cues people will feel.

Expression

We bring it to life through a creative direction that guides every visual and experience that follows.

FAQs

Have another question? Send me an email at hello@theessentiellestudio.co.

  • I’ll review your inquiry and reach out within two business days. If it feels like a fit, we’ll set up a discovery call, and then I’ll send a tailored proposal.

  • Start with an inquiry and tell me where you are. If your brand's foundation still feels unclear, Brand Strategy is usually the right first step. If you already know who you are and need direction on how it should show up, Creative Strategy is a great fit. We'll figure it out together on our discovery call.

  • Yes! Each can be booked on its own, or paired as one complete engagement. Mention it in your inquiry and I'll put together a proposal for both.

  • My work focuses on brand strategy and creative direction, and I'm always happy to recommend trusted designers who can bring your direction to life.

  • Yes. Payment plans are available based on your project timeline, with a 40% deposit to secure your spot.
