SHED LIGHT ON IT

Tell me what’s going on and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

How’d you find JUDE?

FAQS

Do you offer services other than branding?

Strategic branding is my specialty, but I do offer web design & cater to custom marketing-based projects as well. Have something in mind? Let's chat!

What's the average turnaround time?

Most projects take 4–6 weeks. If you want it fast, the Brand Sprint delivers a full strategy and identity in 4. Smaller projects can turnaround faster.

How much do your services cost?

Each project is quoted differently & payment plans are personalized based on your needs & budget. I'm always happy to work with a range of budgets - send me a message and let's chat it out!

Why JUDE?

You’re not passed off to a team of strangers or added to a queue like an agency. You work directly with someone who actually cares about your vision. Think more strategic partnership. Less financial bloat - more dedication.

Isn’t a logo the same as a brand?

A logo’s not your brand. It’s just the face. The brand is the feeling — the story, the message, the experience that keeps people coming back. A brand is more strategic than a simple logo.

Can branding grow my business?

Good branding does more than look nice, it builds trust & loyalty. Someone can tell when you've invested in your business, and they are much more willing to buy from you because of this. A solid brand helps people remember you, believe in you, and come back for more.

What’s in a branding package?

A typical brand suite consists of a primary logo, secondary logo, brand colors, brand fonts, business cards, brand patterns and icons.
