Smart, strategic, beautiful branding and website design that you're proud to show off.
You’re not here for “just a logo.” You’re here for the clarity, confidence, and polish that comes from strategic branding—and the guidance to actually use it.
We discuss your vision, values, and goals before we start designing to lay a strong, strategic foundation. Together, we define who you are, who you serve, and how you will show up. and set the stage for a brand that is beautiful and captures your audience.
With your strategy in place, we start the fun part—design. From visual identity to website design, every element we create is intentionally crafted to reflect your brand’s personality and connect with your audience. We check in regularly with opportunities to give feedback and see your vision come alive.
Once your brand and website are ready, we hand you the tools, assets, and strategy to show up consistently and confidently. Now you can attract the right audience, build trust faster, and show up knowing that you look like a pro.

Carisa has been an essential part of my team for the past couple of years. Her ability to bring my brand to life—both visually and through messaging—has been nothing short of magic. She has an incredible gift for listening and translating ideas into a brand that feels deeply authentic and clear. Not only has she done this for me, but she’s worked with my clients as well, helping them clarify what they’re really trying to say and then turning that into visuals and messaging that perfectly represent who they are and how they want to show up online.

I can't thank Carisa enough—she is like a color wizard. everything is so beautiful I could cry! I'm finally looking like a legit brand and not thrown together. This makes me soooo happy!
—Erika Beck, LCSW
Working with Carisa was an absolute pleasure. I LOVE how she developed my website and branding. Her communication was clear and prompt, making the process easy and enjoyable. I would most definitely work with her again in the future.

She understood what I was looking for perfectly, using a vision board I created on Pinterest. She is so talented and it blew me away to see what she was capable of! I asked for a few minor adjustments and she was able to not only make the changes, but make it cohesive with the rest of the design! I’m so obsessed with my new logo!!
—Linda H, Chunky Knit Co
I didn't have a brand in the beginning—it was just a terrible logo and random colors. The whole process was so easy and straightforward and my biggest regret was that I didn't spend money on this at the start of my journey. I cannot wait to get going!
—Dr. Sharla Clark, Founder of Clark Family Med and Clark Medical Cosmetics
The logo, website, and overall aesthetic are not only beautiful but also incredibly user-friendly and aligned with my audience. Her ability to translate abstract ideas into refined, upscale design is nothing short of amazing.
Beyond the creative work, she’s also been a dream to collaborate with—professional, intuitive, and completely in tune with what I needed. I’m so grateful to have found a designer who not only gets it, but elevates it. I can’t recommend Smith and Ivory enough!
