Sound familiar?
You’re working with clients, growing your business, sharing your message – but your branding isn’t keeping up. You know your brand deserves an identity that reflects your vision, but right now it feels scattered, inconsistent, or simply unfinished. The DIY phase has served its purpose – you’re ready for a professional brand identity that supports the next season of your business.
You know you’re amazing at what you do – but your brand doesn’t reflect it (yet).
You’ve outgrown the homemade look of your DIY logos and patchwork layouts.
You’re tired of waiting 2-3 months on a traditional design timeline – you’re ready to launch now.
You crave a visual refresh that feels authentic and cuts through the noise.

you may ask: Can you actually design
a whole brand… in just 5 days?
The answer is yes… because less is actually way fucking more.
After 10+ years as a brand designer, working on countless projects across industries, I’ve seen it all – the good, the bad, and the painfully slow.
And one thing has gotten painfully clear: most branding processes are way more complicated than they need to be. Too many directions, too many steps, too many rounds of revisions.
The result? A brand that could’ve been powerful, sharp, and full of momentum ends up diluted and delayed.
Don’t get me wrong – I used to follow that long-drawn-out approach myself for years. Until I realized it wasn’t serving my clients.
That’s why I created The Brand Retreat – an intensive, streamlined process that gets you a complete brand identity in just 5 days. Here are some of the things I learned along the way, and share with you now why less is actually more:
💸
More time ≠ better results
(just more expensive ones).
Branding is a naturally intense process. Translating your whole identity into a visual language that feels like you makes it incredibly personal – often leading to drawn-out timelines, and thus expensive rates.
But stretching the timeline over 2-3 months rarely create a better outcome – more often, processes get slown down, workflows lose efficiency and everybody involved lose their momentum.
😵💫
(More directions ≠ more possibilities (just more decision fatigue).
Throwing 6-7 concepts at you doesn’t help you “choose the perfect brand.” It only adds more overwhelm to your already overflowing plates.
The truth? A strong brand doesn’t come from endless options – it comes from honing in on a design direction that truly captures your essence, and taking it over the finish line.
🌧️
More feedback loops ≠ more clarity (just watered-down results).
When there’s too much time, you start to overthink. You ask your cousin, your neighbor, and your friend’s dog for their opinion.
And suddenly, your brand no longer feels sharp – it feels like a compromise. With the intensive method, we avoid the noise and keep your brand true to you.
Designer in Residence
Hey, I’m Marie!
I’m a brand strategist, art director & graphic designer with over 10 years of experience turning good ideas into great identities. I’ve worked with dozens of brands across industries and seen every version of the branding process, and I can tell you: design doesn’t need to be overcomplicated to be powerful. It’s about creating something that feels like you and connects effortlessly with the people it’s meant for.
I’m deeply passionate about creating spaces for people like you – where your ideas and identities can unfold freely, and branding becomes a process of alignment rather than performance.
If you’re ready to build a brand that not only looks the part but feels like you – you’re in the right place.

Strategy Session & First Concepts
We’ll start the morning with a strategy call to review your brand questionnaire, discuss your goals, and define your creative direction. From there, I’ll move into the concept phase – and by the end of the day, you’ll receive your first design directions inspired by our session.
Brand Design Foundations
Based on your chosen direction, I’ll begin developing the core of your brand identity. This is where your visual language takes shape – logo design, color palette, and typography system. You’ll receive your first full branding draft and have the chance to give detailed feedback for refinement the next day.
Refinement & Design Details
Using your feedback, I’ll fine-tune every detail and expand your system with custom brand elements – from logo marks and patterns to icons or illustrations, depending on your project. You’ll have one final feedback round to share any last tweaks and make sure everything feels right.
Finishing Touches & Application Preview
With your notes in hand, I’ll finalize your cohesive brand ecosystem and make it come to life through curated real-world applications – from digital interfaces to print layouts. After our review, I’ll make any last adjustments and prepare your brand package for delivery.
Brand Guidelines, Assets & Handoff
We complete the retreat with a full handover: You’ll receive your comprehensive brand guide – a clear, practical reference for applying your new identity with consistency and confidence. All graphic assets will be organized and ready to use immediately. Everything wrapped and good to go.
The Afterglow of The Brand Retreat
a brand that feels like you
No more “this will do for now.” Your brand finally feels whole – clear in its message, expressive in its visuals, and deeply connected to your vision. You’ll walk away with a visual presence that radiates confidence while attracting the clients who naturally connect with your work.
a flexible design system
This is about more than just a pretty logo – it’s about a foundation that lasts. After the Brand Retreat, you’ll receive a well-thought-out, adaptable design system that makes consistency easy, is built to evolve with you and holds space for growth while keeping your identity rooted.
instant clarity & visibility
Your new brand clearly communicates what you do, who you do it for, and why it matters. It becomes a visual home for your biggest ideas, a space where your people recognize themselves in your story and an open invitation for your audience to step into your world.
freedom over frustration
No more design overwhelm or half-finished DIY fixes – say goodbye to design stress and hello to creative flow. With your solid brand foundation in place, decisions become easy – so you finally have more energy for the work that truly excites you and the life that lights you up.
