I'm a designer and illustrator with a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. My journey with art began when I was just a little kid, and that early spark eventually grew into a career dedicated to branding services, brand design, and digital illustration. I love the process of taking a core idea and giving it a distinct, impactful identity that resonates with people through visual identity design. When I'm not at my desk, I'm usually seeking inspiration in the world around me. I have a deep love for traveling and exploring new places, and I truly enjoy being outdoors, whether I'm out on an adventure or just taking in the scenery. My chihuahua Romeo is often with me, keeping me company. Whether I'm creating a new brand system, working on print media, or exploring a new place, I'm always looking for beauty in the details.

Branding and Illustration Services

Phase one is all about understanding your story, your values, and where you want your brand to go. This phase lays the foundation for everything that follows and ensures we're building with intention, not guesswork.

This phase includes:

  • A 15-minute discovery call before booking
  • Client questionnaires & assignments
  • Brand research and strategy development

This is where your vision begins to take shape. Using the strategy we created in phase 1, I'll begin crafting your brand identity with care and intention - transforming your story into a cohesive visual identity.

This phase includes:

  • Rough draft logo design and refinement
  • Brand illustrations or collateral included in your package
  • Exploration and revisions
  • Ongoing communication and check-ins

Once designs are approved, we shift into polishing and preparing everything so your brand is ready to get out into the world! This phase ensures your brand is not only beautiful, but functional and easy to implement.

This phase includes:

  • Exporting files for print and digital use

Apparel Design includes custom graphics for tees, hoodies, and totes, while my Sticker & Decal Packs feature high-quality, die-cut ready illustrations. I also offer Custom Commissions for unique artwork tailored to personal projects or gifts.

First impressions often happen in the palm of a hand. I offer branding services that include designing custom print media, bridging the gap between digital identity and physical connection.

Whether you're announcing a launch, a seasonal sale, or a community event, I create visuals that capture attention and drive engagement, utilizing digital illustration to strengthen your visual identity design. 


Event Flyers: Bold layouts for workshops, pop-ups, or webinars that stand out in print media. 

Launch Graphics: Strategic 'coming soon' and 'now live' social kits to boost your brand's visibility.

Perhaps You Have a Query?

Please reach out to thetinderboxstudio@gmail.com  if you cannot find an answer to your Query.

I don't offer logo-only services. A single logo by itself with out a system often leads to confusion & inconsistency down the road. Branding works best when it's built as a system.


My branding packages focus on creating a cohesive brand foundation; giving you the confidence, versatility, & foundation you need to effectively use your brand.

Depending on the service(s), turnaround time can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks.

Each package includes a set amount of revisions, which will be clearly outlined in your proposal. My process is intentionally structured to minimize endless back-and-forth, & to have you feel confident in the final outcome.

For branding services, yes! Details & payment options will be outlined in your custom proposal.
