Strategy
We start a discovery call and a questionnaire. Then a strategy session to go deep on your business, your current brand, and everything else that shapes how your brand should show up.
Visual direction
I put together a visual direction for your brand, and we agree on it together before any design begins. It becomes our shared reference for every decision that follows.
Design
I design your logo and visual system and package them into a brand guide, so your brand stays consistent as you grow. You receive every final file, ready to use.
Brand + Website projects add a fourth step: I carry your brand into a custom Framer site and launch it on your domain.

"I was blown away with how deeply Kira researched Triangle and the way she was able to articulate the brand in ways I hadn't been able to. The finished product was so comprehensive, it really set me up for success. The logo in particular captured so much of what I'm trying to do in such a bold and clever way. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a brand identity."

"I thought the process went smoothly, and Kira was incredibly patient when I was dragging my feet. She made it easy for me to process in my own way and time. The easy communication and ability to share screens and discuss design in real time, plus her creative ideas and suggestions, were so helpful!"
