the brand thief

After seven years of designing brands, I’ve come to one universal conclusion: the best brands are not created, they are stolen. This central idea guides SaaS teams to awesome, scalable, design and branding.

How do you steal a brand?

Simple: steal visual themes from the muses that inspire you and combine them with your product.

The brand thieverytm  Process

how we punch those problems in the face

Instead of reinventing the wheel and spending hours looking at a blank canvas, we steal creative assets from the things you love and embed them into your brand.

Definition

01

By detailing your ideal user, your competitors, your story, and the things that inspire you, we will define your brand and position your company to authentically stand out. The best part, we steal creative ideas from the things you already love.

foundation

02

We will bring your brand to life by crafting the fundamental pieces of your design language (logo, colors, typefaces, and graphics) and create guidelines for using them. These are the building blocks of assets like your website, product, and marketing material.

Application

03

Armed with a kickass design language and new brand identity, we will apply it to your company’s assets. Deliverables vary, but generally include your website, product, social templates, and pitch decks.

FAQs

Couldn’t I just hire a full-time designer?
Dropdown icon pointing down

Yes, you could, but you wouldn’t be here looking if that was the easy option 😉. Senior Designers are expensive (over $100,000 per year plus benefits) and you have to keep them busy to make it worthwhile.

Packages and subscriptions are less of an investment and offer you more flexibility.

Do you only work with SaaS brands?
Dropdown icon pointing down

No.

I'll phrase it like this: if I had two projects to choose from and one was a software brand, I'd pick that one.

But, I'm never going to turn away a good client or an opportunity to make a kickass brand 🤘

How do I know I’ll be happy with the project?
Dropdown icon pointing down

We work on a project until we are stoked and it accomplishes the goals we’ve assigned to it.

What if we don't want to use Webflow?
Dropdown icon pointing down

No worries. I can still design everything, build in Webflow and export the code for your team to use.

But really, if you're ready for a growth stage site, you should be using Webflow.

How do I know which package is right for me?
Dropdown icon pointing down

Give me a call and I’ll help you figure that out.

What are the payment terms for design packages?
Dropdown icon pointing down

Fixed scope projects are billed 50% at start, 50% upon delivery or payments in equal thirds if above $50k. This excludes consultation engagements like and 1-on-1 calls which are billed upfront.

Payment plans, lease agreements, and equity/profit sharing are also available for special cases.

We’re not in the same city, is that an issue?
Dropdown icon pointing down

Nope. I’ve been doing remote work since before we all wish we'd invested in Zoom’s stock. 

Still have questions?
