Branding approaches built for your stage of business.

It depends. The packages page is a good place to start. And we can always have a no-pressure conversation.

The short answer is that Sharpe Creative exists with the belief that not everyone needs to buy the farm. For where you are, maybe a dairy cow and a few chickens is the smart choice. I’ll help you figure out what you really need.

If you’re a new venture , we’ll build from scratch —smart, efficient, and responsible— keeping your stage in mind. Many new venture clients keep working with me as they hit the growth phase.

Sharpe Creative also has a bi-annual, discounted (spots limited), pop-up offer for scrappier microbusinesses.  

If you’re an established brand, it’s wise to do at least a minor refresh every 3–5 years to prevent your brand from feeling stale and to reflect your business as it evolves. This doesn’t necessarily mean a total overhaul (though it could), but the bigger the business shift, the more oomph the approach should have.

No two clients are exactly the same. I’ll create a proposal based on your current stage of business. Try the assessment for a little guidance.

Strategic branding work shouldn’t be rushed. If you are rebranding to hit a deadline, you probably aren't rebranding for the right reasons. Let’s spend the appropriate time so that what we create will work hard for you for years.

I move a little quicker for startups and new ventures with intensives (2-3 weeks) and basic scopes (4-6 weeks).

Typically, a full strategic branding process takes a minimum of 8 weeks (including time for reviews).

A typical marketing website can take approximately 1-2 months, but if it’s done alongside branding, the processes can overlap.

Business size and industry aren’t critical factors. Experience across various industries means every client is treated as a new story to tell. Every business (regardless of size) can benefit from professional branding and web design. I like passionate, visionary people (in whatever they do). If that’s you, we'll take a stage-based approach to pricing. Business size and industry aren’t critical factors.

It’s better to excel at a few things than be mediocre at many. For more expansive projects, I collaborate with my network of trusted experts such as specialized strategists, copywriters, photographers, animators, videographers, and platform-specific web developers when needed.

While things like content marketing, SEO, and paid advertising are important, Sharpe Creative believes that strong, distinct branding is the foundation for all of it. Once we dial that in, I get by with a little help from some expert friends.

Sharpe Creative is brand-focused, not just a graphic design shop. I do ongoing Brand Support, Design Days, but if your branding isn't in a good place, those efforts will mostly be a waste of time and money. I also offer paid, 90-Minute Consults to test the waters.

If your branding and website are both rock-solid, we can discuss an ongoing creative Brand Support partnership, or I can tackle larger one-off projects like brand campaigns, microsites, package design, spatial design, merch design, or custom graphics kits.

Artificial intelligence has a lot of potential as a technology. However, generative AI and LLMs are largely problematic. Especially when they’re used to think, create, shape your voice, tone, style, or brand decisions. Relying on them too heavily can do your brand a major disservice and erode trust.

I get it. The pressure to use these tools is immense, especially when they’re marketed as shortcuts or cost-savers in tough economic times. I’m not against trying to find ethical use cases. But I urge you to not trust the foundations of your brand to them.

Generative AI pulls from what already exists and produces creative averages. You don’t want your brand to be average. I might use it for research, organization, or glorified spellcheck, but the real solutions won’t be prompted or generated. They’ll be thoughtfully built.
