You started a new business and now you need branding?
But you're not ready to hire a designer...
You know you the value behind good design, but you are needing to DIY your small business branding since you are just starting. But now, you are feeling the overwhelm of designing your own brand. What if we can change that?
Studies show that most small businesses can expect to invest $90k – $180k for a rebrand.
I don't know about you, but having that amount of capital handy to rebrand a business isn't something every small business can access — especially minority-owned companies. However, your brand will evolve in the first three years of business. And when you are building, selling, planning and designing your brand, there is so much at stake.
But what if you could…
→ Gain a deeper understanding of how you can create a brand that understands your audience AND doesn't require using those popular templates everyone already has
→ Generate sales with designs that are clear, effective, and you don't spend hours creating
→ Gain more time to focus on what you do best, instead of complicating your DIY design process
→ Build a brand mindset that will prepare you for the road ahead
→ Save money by not working with inexperienced brand designs that don't know how to set your brand up for long-term success
Then it’s time to build your brand
right from the start!
You don't have to go through this brand building journey alone! If you wanted an expert to guide you through the process of designing your own brand for your business, this workbook is your new design coach.

Build your branding mindset
You'll start by building your brand mindst muscles to get you ready for the challenges ahead. We'll help you identify and document steps to prepare you for the road ahead. VERY few businesses implement this process and it can be detrimental. After getting your branding muscles ready, you'll move deeper into understanding how to address audience needs. And you'll learn how to use that to differentiate your brand communication from your competitors.

She's fantastic to work with and I would hire her in a minute to produce all the branding and design work...
Nicte is one of the most amazing designers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her knowledge along with her passion for design makes it for a working relationship second to none. She is fantastic to work with and I would hire her in a minute to produce all the branding and design work for Elevate It Now. A true professional to the end. She was able to translate the vision that I had for our re-branding last spring and I am in love with her and her work!
Ileana VIlchis
Co-Founder at Tu Eco
We obtained clarity for our brand...
Nicte helped us focus in understanding who our client was and how to reach them. We obtained clarity for our brand, how to communicate our mission to the clients or followers and how it important it is to have roles within our company. We fell in love with the colors and the design she came up with for Tu Eco, LLC, we also loved that she was as excited as we were, and it felt like she was part of the team and the dream. By working with Nicte we were able to identify possible confusion with our audience, she guided us to our target client.

Your brand deserves the best
no matter where you start
If you're business is new or less than a couple of years old and you're an entrepreneur willing to put time and effort into building your brand foundation, then this workbook is for you. If you want a brand that is more than some pretty label, if you want to change lives with your product/service, if you want a brand that is recognizable and not built on a template thousands may have — this workbook is for you.
why I created this workbook
As a minority, a mother, a wife, and a small business owner, I'm rooted in helping others like me rise and amplify their brand.
Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. I know we juggle a lot. And sometimes, we meet amazing people along the way who elevate us. We also encounter those who take advantage of our situations.
I've had too many clients come to me for a rebrand after wasting money on designers that took advantage of them. They often ended up with stock images that were sold as 'custom designs.' The worst part was that they didn't take the time to get to know their brand's core values to align THAT with their visual communication.
Honestly, this infuriates me. I take great pride in the work we do as an industry, but I also know everyone has different skill sets. However, I couldn't let more businesses get pressured into spending for 'pretty designs' that wouldn't support their brand growth. This is why I created this ebook — to give you the tools you need and confidence to build your brand because I know what it's like to start from scratch and get the wrong type of guidance. That changes for you today! And I can't wait to hear the impact it has on you and your brand!
To your brand success,
