Branding for the multi-layered who are done trying to fit in. From scratch, with care, made to evolve without losing yourself.

Before you throw your phone at me for rage baiting you, let me explain! This is not a rant against AI because it’s unhetical etc. I’m really giving you advice on how to stand out and make people trust you

I just saw a cute bag on an Ad, and checked the website to buy it. All the copy was clearly AI. Same tone, cadence, and words that I see in 90% of the content I see online and that gave me the ick so fast that I closed the website before even checking the prices.

Since AI became a thing, creating content has become easier than ever, everyone can become a content creator now. You can set up a website in a couple hours with Claude and start selling a digital product instantly.
But it’s not the overnight success some guru tells you to sell their course, because if everyone has access to the same tools, the tools aren’t your competitive advantage anymore.

Now even big brands are using AI to generate content and campaigns, which means more and more of the internet is starting to look, sound and feel the same and let me tell ya, people are FU***NG TIRED OF THIS S**T.

So how can you compete and stand out in a market like this? Certainly not trying to create more and more, running on a hamster wheel of content creation (you actually have a job beyond content, remember!)

When the internet is flooded with content that is cheap, fast and interchangeable, human becomes a differentiator.

You have the power to break the pattern and say something different, look different, have a personality, opinions, unique quirks…

You can make your brand SOOO specific that it couldn’t have come from anyone else.

In 6 years of running different businesses, I can assure you, your market is not dead 💀

No matter what you sell, there is *always* someone that is looking for that.
The problem is that most of the time, we find ourselves in the wrong room, filled with the wrong people.

Your brand’s job is to teleport you in the rooms where your dream clients are.

It is THAT simple

I just saw an Ad selling a cake recipe book: all the cake images were AI.
I automatically assumed that also the recipes were AI.
Maybe they are.
Maybe this person has tried and tested all the recipes, learning and refining them until they were perfect.

I will never know. I don’t risk my money on something that could be slop.
I mean, if they’re AI, I might as well ask AI the recipes for free. (or, even better, read someone’s food blog).

You put all the love and care into the product or service you offer, and that’s wonderful. But people need to SEE that care first.

Stop hiding your quality behind a sloppy brand.

Your work might be high quality, but your brand might scream “red flag” 🚩

People are (rightfully!) super aware and cautious in these days. We are flooded with AI slop, dropshipping, scam or low quality services — there are almost 18462882 courses on how to become rich by making courses with AI 🥲

So, earning trust is harder than ever, and it’s up to YOU to make people understand you’re worth their trust (and money)

Hot take: going viral is USELESS*

* if you don’t have your brand foundations in place

* if you want to just because (maybe you don’t even have the capacity to handle many leads — that’s me, that’s why I don’t give a f**k about virality)

* if you think your business will explode and you’ll get flooded with clients

The brand I designed in 2026 (so far!)
Check the caption in each slide for more details!

Abby Rose is a handpoke tatto artist based in the West Village, NYC. She creates delicate and whimsical tattoos and hosts charity flash days for local cat shelters

Blooming Ceramics is a fairycore ceramic studio that creates flower shaped mugs. The goal was to create a brand that feels just as magical as the pottery. I broke some design rules and created the logo with a stained glass effect, imagining the brand living in a greenhouse full of butterflies 🦋

This design is for a Virtual Assistant with a Y2K vibe, inspired by pixel art, 2000s tech culture and the belief that every hero (aka a business owner) needs a sidekick. The goal was to differentiate the brand from all those business professionals with a corporate vibe.

Laura Green is a plant based nutritionist that makes your relationship with food lighter on the body, on the mind and on the heart. I developed this brand thinking about how many nutritionist and wellness professionals lean into anoverly corporate, clinical vibe to look credible. I did exactly the opposite with a colorful palette and a funny mascot to bring the brand to life even more

Marigold House is a boho countryside bed and breakfast inspired by slow mornings, wildflowers and homemade breakfast.

The goal was to create a boho vibe without the classic earth brown and sage green color palette, and bring more color to differentiate it from the competitors .

VEGAN MICRO BAKERY

Olivia sells comfort bakes from a cart on college campus. The goal was to build a visual language to represent the brand’s mission: showing that vegan doesn’t mean boring and tasteless, it can mean colorful and super tasty

Afterglow is a boutique photography studio with a whimsy dreamy vibe. The logo represents the alternative use of lighting in long exposure photos

Maurizio is a mindset coach for Gen X and Baby Boomers navigating complicated relationship with family or personal transitions. The goal wasn’t to impress other designers with fancy effects. Too many animations would actually create friction and lose trust, especially for people who are in super tech savvy,

Sorry not sorry, my reputation is way more expensive than any invoice 😬

The people I associate myself with are people that I admire and I believe into, I’d NEVER work with someone that mistreat potential clients like that.

And adding to what I said, I won’t ever force anyone into buying the most expensive service when they’re not ready. That client of mine was just starting out, they wouldn’t even get benefits from a program that teaches how to scale a business on instagram.

That coach makes millions (or at least they claim to), why be so greedy?
