    Why Branding Matters

    In today’s crowded wellness and food space, even the best ideas risk blending in. Nutritionists, wellness coaches, and food entrepreneurs often struggle with inconsistent visuals, unclear messaging, or a brand that doesn’t fully reflect their expertise. The result? Missed opportunities, clients who don’t instantly “get” what you do, and difficulty building trust.

    That’s where branding changes everything. A clear, consistent, and strategic identity transforms your work from “one of many” into a recognizable authority.

    Common struggles we solve:

    ❌ Blending in: Your brand looks like everyone else’s
    ✅ We design a unique identity that makes you stand out.

    ❌ Inconsistency: Colors, fonts, and visuals don’t align
    ✅ We create a system that keeps everything professional and cohesive.

    ❌ Unclear messaging: Your audience doesn’t “get it”
    ✅ We help clarify your voice so your message lands with the right people.

    ❌ Lack of authority: Your expertise doesn’t shine
    ✅ Strategic branding builds recognition and positions you as the go-to.

    That’s exactly why we created our Brand Audit and Visual Identity Design Packages — to give you the clarity, strategy, and visuals you need to grow with confidence.

    Client: Arielle Lebovitz, Founder of Kid Food Explorers
    Project Type: Branding, Illustration, Editorial
    Finalized: Ongoing collaboration

    Our founder has been collaborating with Kid Food Explorers (KFE) since 2016. Since then, KFE has published seven children’s books, including the beloved titles Where Do Bananas Come From? A Book of Fruit and Where Does Broccoli Come From? A Book of Vegetables; two beautifully illustrated encyclopedic adventures that have inspired a whole generation of curious eaters.

    Alongside these books, KFE has developed a full collection of educational materials  (posters, activity books, and workbooks) all designed to support its mission of reshaping how children understand and connect with food.

    Most recently, we partnered with KFE on a complete rebrand, from a new logo and illustration style to cohesive editorial standards across their publications. We’re incredibly proud to witness the brand’s evolution, its growing digital presence, its thriving community on social media, and its partnerships with some of the biggest names in the food industry.
