As a graphic artist, I have spent over 20 years designing brand identities for entrepreneurs.
I work closely with female business owners to help them get better clarity about their brand, target audience, and identity. I do realize that not everyone can afford me, that’s why I put this course together. I believe that everyone deserves a beautiful logo.
