It probably wasn't personal, and it probably wasn't laziness either. Most of the time, it comes down to one thing: they didn't have a process.

A designer who's winging it can't be consistent. They don't have a clear next step for every stage of a project, so when things get murky, they stall. They genuinely don't know what to do next. A designer without a plan is a designer who will likely go quiet at some point in the project.

A real process changes everything. From the first inquiry, through hiring, onboarding, the actual work, and a clean handoff at the end, EVERY stage has a next step already mapped out. That's what lets a designer show up consistently. It's what removes the guesswork on your end too - you're never left wondering where things stand, because there's a system carrying the project forward instead of a person hoping they'll get to it eventually.

So if your last designer ghosted you, it probably wasn't about you. It was about the fact that they never built a process that could hold them accountable and produce the results they promised you.

I've been doing this for over two decades, and I've got exactly a 100% record of *not* ghosting. I've built a process that's tight, tested, and actually works with real projects - no guesswork, no dropped communication. I'd love to hear about where your brand's been and help you discover where it could go next. -L

Service Businesses: Let me give you a real-life example of friction in your brand.

My husband recently received an itemized receipt / checklist for services performed on one of our vehicles. The problem was that some of those services were not performed. We didn't ASK for them to be performed, but this business provided a printed checklist of "all they had done." Why include items clearly not touched?

Rather than over-delivering (as they could have done so easily based on their checklist!), they absolutely underdelivered. Upon reading the services checked off that hadn't been rendered, it made us feel a twinge of dishonesty. They said something that just wasn't true. It didn't leave us feeling good about the business.

This friction had nothing to do with their logo or colors or website, but still had EVERYTHING to do with their BRAND.

Removing the friction in this case would be to update the checklist to reflect only what was actually done - nothing more.

Because here's the thing: an accurate checklist doesn't just avoid a lie. It's proof. It's the business saying, "you can believe what we tell you," without ever having to say it out loud.

That's the brand.

So look at your own "checklist"... the emails you send, the forms you hand a client, the "what's included" on your website. Is it telling the truth? Or is it dressed up to look more impressive than what's actually happening?

Friction isn't always a bad review. Sometimes it's a checkmark that shouldn't be there.

The EASIEST PATH to gaining more business is to remove the friction.

Examine the barriers that your business has unknowingly put up, and make things easier for people to do business with you - from the moment they hear about you, until the moment the service is concluded and the opportunity comes for them to review you / refer you (OR NOT).

Sometimes the friction is in the visual aspects of our brand. Sometimes it's in the messaging (how we talk about our company). Sometimes it's experienced in the processes along the way.

Need help sorting this out? I've not only got fresh eyes for you that will see things as your customer does, I've got more than two decades as a branding professional to add to my vantage point.

It's been a hot minute since I showed off a completed project. This website launched earlier this year for my client, Joy, of A Fountain Place... I'll drop a link in the comments for the full site.

What I love about this one (and honestly, about every project) is that Joy didn't come to me with a fixed idea of what she wanted. That's actually the sweet spot. My process blends copywriting and web design together, so instead of guessing at language on your own, we dial it in together until your site sounds like nobody else in your industry, and a visitor lands on the page thinking "how did they know this is exactly what I needed?"

The part people don't expect: that language doesn't stay on the website. Once we find your voice there, it becomes the voice for everything - your emails, your social, your sales conversations. The site is just where we figure it out first.

One of my top recommendations for service providers right now **especially if you operate in any kind of consulting space** is to update your bio to include how long you've been at it.

More and more, with AI at our fingertips, people are launching businesses with no experience, no reviews, no social proof that they can get the results they promise to deliver.

A simple thing that will elevate you when potential clients see your profile is to be clear that you've owned your lane for 5, 10, 20+ years. Do this on all your socials and make sure your website speaks to this as well!

Following up on yesterday's post... Think about this. If everyone's using AI and ending up with the same brand, there is a MASSIVE opportunity for anyone willing to do this thoughtfully instead. It wouldn't take much to stand out from the crowd right now - a little intention, some genuine "you" baked into your brand, and you're already ahead. Whether you want to DIY it or hire it out, let's talk. I'm ready to help you leverage the opportunity just sitting there.

It is a FASCINATING time to be a designer. Y'all, I've been in this space for over two decades, and up until now the requests I got from business owners were always some version of "make it pop," "make it unique," "make it me."

Now? I scroll my newsfeed and see back-to-back posts that look almost identical - one's for a nail salon, one's for a metalworking shop. Everyone's suddenly fine looking the same because everyone's using the same GenAI tools spitting out the same results.

I'm not going to tell you to go hire a designer. But I will tell you there are ways to protect what makes your brand actually yours. Even as a busy owner or DIYer, you don't have to settle for the first thing AI hands you. (Lord knows you never settled for the first thing a designer gave you! LOL.)

This one's for the salon that's tired of looking like the home inspection company down the street. People are fatigued, and they're scrolling right past content that could be about anything. You can do better, and it's genuinely not hard to fix. I consult with businesses just like yours, one hour at a time, no massive project required. Just enough to help you establish and protect what's actually unique and effective about your brand.

Strong brands do something that isn't talked about a whole lot: they REPEL

We hear a lot about attracting, referrals, leads, bringing in as many customers as possible.

But strong brands repel the client who wants it done cheap and fast. The one who's going to argue about every line item. The one who was never going to be happy no matter how good the work was. If your brand isn't clear enough to push those people away, it isn't clear enough to pull the right people in either.

Attraction and repulsion aren't opposites, they're actually the same mechanism. A brand with a real point of view, a defined way of working, a clear "this is who we're for" will naturally read as "not for me" to the people who aren't aligned. That's not a flaw, that's the brand doing its very strategic job.

The businesses that struggle with trust gaps & friction are almost always trying to be safe for everyone. Vague enough not to offend, broad enough not to lose anyone. But vague doesn't build trust, it just builds indifference. And indifference is why they're stuck explaining themselves over and over to people who were never going to buy anyway.

If you feel like your business is stuck in this way, reach out! Positioning and messaging designed to simultaneously attract AND repel is my jam. Let's get your business to its next level together. -L

Your truck looks one way. Your website looks like a completely different business. Your business card doesn't match either one, and your social media looks nothing like any of it.

Here's the problem: Every one of those is a much-needed chance for a customer to see your brand again & again, and build a little more trust each time. But if they don't recognize it as the same business, that repetition doesn't count. You're not getting multiple exposures. You're getting several first impressions, from a stranger, over and over.

Trust is built through familiarity. But familiarity requires recognition. A customer has to glance at your truck, then your sign, then your website, and instantly know "that's them" for those touches to actually stack up in your favor. When every touchpoint looks different, you're not showing up more. You're showing up once, in a dozen different disguises.

The fix isn't more marketing. It's making what you already have look like it belongs to the same business. Show up one way, in many places, and let every touchpoint accumulate on the one before it.

I feel like we haven't geeked out over a good color palette for awhile. 🙃🥰

This is a work in progress for a current project. What you don't see here is the fully built Color Story - where we name each shade and detail out how each chosen color supports the brand's values, vibe and message.

Not even sure if this is where we'll land yet, but it's delicious nonetheless!
