The approach
Find the feeling first. Everything else moves faster.
Most brands go wrong at the brief, not the logo, so that is where I start.
The method has three stages, and I have run it enough times to know which shortcuts are safe. Feel is where we agree what the brand should do to people, Form is where it gets a face and a voice, and Fly is where it lands in the world.
01 Feel
02 Form
03 Fly
Choose what you need.
Two weeks, four weeks, or for as long as we both enjoy it.
Brand Sprint
For founders who need a brand that holds up in a pitch, on a landing page and in a stranger’s feed, without waiting a quarter.
Best for: Pre-seed to seed · First launch · Rebrands with a deadline
You leave with: A positioning you can say out loud, a logo and visual system that feel like you, and templates that keep you consistent long before you can afford a designer.
Everything included
2 weeks · $7,500
“We had spent a year describing Juniper Club as ‘networking, but kinder’ and hating ourselves for it. Elise gave us a brand that sounds like the room we were trying to build, not a comparison. Members noticed the shift within a week of launch.”

Founder of Juniper Club

Brand Identity + Website
For founders launching properly, who want brand and website designed by the same hands at once, so neither has to apologise for the other.
Best for: Seed to Series A · Public launches · Products that live online
You leave with: Everything in the Sprint, plus a live, responsive marketing site built in Framer that you can edit yourself, with the copy, imagery and motion already doing the brand’s work.
Everything included
4 weeks · $13,000
“I was braced for the usual four-week wait before seeing anything. Elise showed us a direction on day three and it was the one we launched with, almost untouched. Our investors asked who the agency was. Telling them it was one person in Lisbon was a pleasure.”
Felix Marchetti
Co-founder of Nestegg
Creative Partnership
For funded teams who have a brand and now need someone to keep it sharp while the product, the pitch and the headcount grow at once.
Best for: Series A and beyond · Growing teams · Founders who hate briefing twice
What it gives you: A standing block of my week, a brand that stays consistent as the company changes, and someone who already knows the story when a new deck, campaign or feature lands.
What I can help with
Ongoing · from $5,500/month
“Branding a tool that generates brands is a trap, and I knew it. Elise walked straight into it and came out with a system that is strict enough to be ours and loose enough to be fun. Two weeks. I still don’t fully understand how!”

CMO at Tessel
Pricing questions,
answered plainly.
What the numbers include, and what they don’t.
Why fixed prices instead of hourly rates?
What does the price not include?
How many revisions do I get?
Can I pay in instalments?
What if my project doesn’t fit a package?
