I'm glad you made it
to the Other Side

You just scanned a card from inside a velvet black envelope, and if you're here, it means two things:
Something in that letter resonated.
And your brand might be about to change forever.

Why you got this letter

I can tell you're not someone who just keeps
their head down and fits into industry norms

There's something deeper you're trying to express, and somehow the universe put you on my radar.

I run a design studio focused on branding and websites with a dark aesthetic, and we take on very few clients annually.

I wanna fill those spots only with women I think would be *perfect* candidates for our brand transformations

Dark aesthetics
aren't about slapping a gothic
frame from adobe stock
onto a template
✷
To look elevated
instead of cheesy,
a dark brand has to be
‍professionally curated.

I wanna work with women who understand and crave this.

So instead of waiting for people to find me, I went looking for 20 of you. If that sounds intense, well... gestures vaguely at the velvet envelope you just received

Claim my spot

Here's my proposal

Instead of toning you down in the name of “looking professional”, I wanna take everything that's different about you and turn it into a brand so good...

But so good, that even your most mainstream client will fall in love with it

These brands are not just pretty.
They're proof that you CAN

have the dark, romantic, weird
and witchy aesthetics you want

have clients
booking you like crazy

Every one of these brands started with a woman who felt exactly
how you probably feel

And every single one of them got a brand that made them go
"holy shit, THAT'S ME"

...like Bri

and The Skin Sanctum...

...like Danielle Ariadne

and her photography business...

...like Britt

and Nitrate Fox...

...like Rachel

and Wildermoth Outfitters...

...like Kristen

and her personal brand...

...like Maeci

and Doll Face Skin Club...

...like Ashlee

and Auric Aesthetics...

...like Sara & Brittany

and The Carterhaugh School...

Why this works
(and why other designers can't do it)

Look, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you we're the only designers who can make a logo.
But we ARE the only studio specializing exclusively in dark aesthetics for female entrepreneurs who wanna grow their business.

We've done this exact thing 100 times. We know how to walk the line between interesting and accessible.

We're not regular designers trying to "figure out" your aesthetic. Your aesthetic is what we do 5 days a week.

You won't have to explain yourself 47 times or translate your Pinterest board. We speak your language.

UMMM…YOU GET ME VIRGINIA

We use our signature method with all our clients, and their brands have:

You get strategy first,
design second

We don't just make things pretty: we figure out exactly what your brand needs to say, then build the visuals around that.

2

You don't have to
project manage

3

You get a complete
brand system

Not just a logo, but an entire visual identity that will look amazing on your socials, website, and real life.

Who is it for?

Whether you've been in the game for 15 years, are just getting started with a Pinterest board and a dream, or you’re tired of DIY templates that miss the mark, this is for you.

And look, I get it. Often, this disconnect comes from working with designers who just don’t vibe with your aesthetic. You might find yourself trying to describe that dreamy, dark-academia-whimsical-gothic-something core look you’re going for, only to be met with blank stares. Trust me, I’ve been there too! But here’s the thing: I get those quirky, intricate descriptions.

When you bring me your Pinterest board or share those quirky, intricate ideas, I’ll get exactly where you’re coming from- and then I’ll shape them into a brand that makes sense from the outside and works for your business.
