You've built something real. Something successful. Something uniquely you. Your clients adore you, your work speaks for itself, but your brand? It still feels like it's wearing someone else's clothes.
You're happy with your money goals, but no matter what you do, you just don't feel like your brand is somehow. The ick is bothering you so much. Your know your authenticity is there—but it's just not doing the heavy lifting for you yet.
HERE'S WHAT FIRST LIGHT DOES THAT'S DIFFERENT:
Instead of just making your brand pretty (of course that happens too, I'm tooting my own horn here—but just look at everything I do! lol), we're creating the kind of brand that walks into the room before you do. The kind that has people nodding along with everything you say because they already trust you.
Your brand might feel like early morning fog at this moment, but we're about to catch that first clear light of day. The kind that illuminates everything perfectly, where every detail comes into focus, and the moment people see it, they understand exactly who you are.
My inbox is lighting up with messages about how 'me' my REbrand feels (your turn next!)
I'm (more than) pretty good at making your brand feels 'you'!
Christiana completely transformed my DIY brand - she made it so much better than I could've imagined! I feel confident, creative with this newfound direction, & so so so excited to put my brand out there in the world through my website and social media because of the brand identity she developed for me. I can't thank her enough!
With Love Jaclyn
I feel so lucky to have found Christiana! Professional, creative, reliable, responsive and Stellar delivery of work- I don't think you can ask for more. I loved every step of the process of working with Christiana - from the discovery call to the final handoff. The work is so good that I'm ready to work with her again! Seriously, thank you for being so thoughtful with this dream of mine.

Christiana is worth every. single. penny. I knew she was going to be the designer I wanted to work with from the moment we hopped on the discovery call. As a Founder, I was SO picky about who would design my agency's branding - I wanted to stand out. Christiana was SO quick, thoughtful, and professional and truly has such a unique eye for brand design. Sometimes I just pull up the brand guidelines deck she created for my agency because I simply love looking at it lol. Christiana makes MAGIC happen. If you are on the fence about making this investment, let me make it easy for you: just do it, my friend. It'll be worth it!

Christiana is an absolute superstar to work with. From brand building to design, Christiana is a swiss army knife! It was super easy to work with her to figure out my brand identity and building a website that not only I love, but has also received huge praise from my customers and industry partners.

Christiana was the perfect match for my brand. She listened to all of my needs and wants. She brought them to life in only a week! She is so detailed, creative, and organized. She made a small business owner’s dreams come true!

meet your brand bestie: christiana
It all started with calls where clients would say the same thing: "Everything you put out just feels so... you." From my social media templates to my wardrobe choices, they felt like they knew me before we even met. That's when my path became clear—this natural ability to infuse personality into every touchpoint? That's what creative entrepreneurs needed.
My approach to brand design actually comes from an unexpected place: film school! While most designers focus purely on visuals, my background in film art direction taught me how to build entire worlds through intentional details. Years of studying how wardrobe, prop styling, and framing come together to tell authentic stories on screen—now that's what I bring to personal branding. Add in my masters in graphic design and 10+ years of design experience, and suddenly we're not just designing brands; we're crafting complete brand experiences.
That's why First Light isn't just about making things look good. We're creating a brand that feels alive in every detail, from your Instagram grid to your everyday moments. When your audience feels like they know you before they even meet you? That's not just good branding — that's storytelling magic ✨

Think of it like that perfect morning routine — when you know exactly what you need and have a plan, magic happens quickly. We've refined this process to be efficient without rushing. The timeline actually helps your launch maintain momentum and excitement (no second-guessing for weeks on end).
That's exactly why you're here! We're not starting from scratch — we're starting from YOU. Your personality, your space, your favorite things, even that corner of your home you love... they're all clues to your perfect brand. My job is to spot these details and turn them into a cohesive brand that feels naturally, unmistakably you.
If you're feeling the ick about your brand (even with a pretty logo), you're in the right place. First Light isn't just about making things look good — it's about making everything feel aligned, from your Instagram grid to your newsletter. Think of it as the difference between a house and a home; we're here to make your brand feel lived-in and loved.
Just bring yourself and that creative business you've built! Before we begin, you'll receive a fun (promise!) brand questionnaire that helps us uncover the perfect details to incorporate into your brand. No design skills needed — that's what I'm here for.
Coming soon: a tiered package that includes a complete 4-page website (home, about, services, contact) to make your brand shine across every pixel of your online home. Since this is the BETA round of First Light, we're focusing on getting your brand perfectly aligned first! Stay tuned for the full package options.
You can choose between paying in full (BETA at $2,800 USD) or breaking it into 5 monthly payments of $600. Both options get you the same 360 experience — it's just about what works better for your business right now. Extended payment plans may be available upon request, just reach out and let's chat!
You know that feeling when you catch the first light of dawn? That moment of pure possibility, when everything feels fresh and new? That's what we're creating for your brand.
Here's what I know: you've already built something amazing. Your clients love you. Your work speaks for itself. Now it's time for your brand to do the same — to walk into the room before you do and have people thinking "I get her completely" before you say a word.
Two weeks. That's all it takes to transform your business into a brand that feels like home. Just like those first rays of morning light, your brand will shine with fresh energy and endless possibility.
No more explaining yourself. No more feeling misaligned.
Just you, amplified.
