“I couldn’t be happier with the results and have never felt more in alignment with my message and my brand.”
Everything on my website represents who I am and what I stand for. It also very clearly calls the perfect clients in and makes them feel that change is possible and transformation is available for them. When someone hops on the phone with me now they feel like they already know me and that was at the core of what I wanted from my brand. I can’t recommend Sarah enough. She’s not only extremely professional but can take a brand and elevate it to the next level.”
~ Lisa Carpenter | Repeat Design Intensive Client | 3-Day Rebrand
Which bottleneck is stalling your momentum?
A podcast host asks where to send people, and you have to pause before sharing your website…
You have a new offer, but it’s living in a Google Doc and it’s been in ‘beta’ for over a year…
Your marketing ‘strategy’ is a guessing game, you’re posting often but have no clue if it’s working.
Your VA asks which template to use, and there are 77 to choose from, none of which are quite right.
The reality is that somewhere along the way you became the CEO, CMO and Creative Director of a business that demands more than you can keep up with on your own.
That’s where I come in.
You bring the edge-
I’ll bring it to life.
There’s never been an easier time to make something that looks pretty good. AI can write the offer. ChatGPT can spit out a marketing plan. Canva can template it. And for some business owners, that’s fine.
But you didn’t spend years establishing authority just to settle for “pretty good.”
Your brand, your offers and your marketing need to match the caliber you’re operating at. Everything should feel like one cohesive ecosystem nobody else could own.
That requires more than a few prompts. It requires strategy, judgment, taste, and a whole lot of really smart creative decisions.
And since you don’t have months to spend getting there, or time for endless meetings, revisions and back-and-forth, you need someone who knows how to ask the right questions, quickly see what is and isn’t working, and get it done.
That’s The EVOLVE Method™ — my proprietary process for turning what makes your business different into a brand, offer and marketing plan people feel a genuine connection to — in days.
No cookie-cutter templates. No AI slop. No drawn-out timelines.
Just really smart, creative work, DONE in a matter of days.
Big brand energy-
Without the six-month timeline.
No two intensives are exactly the same. What we do during your day(s) depends on what you need, but will likely be a combination of…
➞ OFFER DESIGN
If your offer menu is confusing, this is where we’ll start. We’ll figure out the one (or two) things you want to be known for, and make it irresistible.
➞ MARKETING STRATEGY
We’ll create a clear plan for how people find you and why they buy, built around how you actually like to work.
➞ BRAND DESIGN
Colors, typography, logo, icons, patterns, textures and a cohesive Brand Style Guide. All designed to work together and actually feel like you.
➞ WEB DESIGN
We’ll build something that actually matches the level of work you’re doing. Specializing in WordPress, 4-5 pages in a day, 6-12 pages in 2 days.
➞ MARKETING ASSETS
Landing pages, lead magnets, program assets, social graphics, slide decks, print design. Whatever your brand needs to show up consistently.
Mix, match and stack from the list above.
Come back whenever your business needs me.
One day. Two days. Six days over the next year.
Every Intensive Includes:
➞ One full day of my time, brain, and 21 years of marketing and design experience, focused entirely on your business
➞ The Brand Obsession Method™ pre-work that uncovers your edge and defines your brilliance, so every creative decision we make is rooted in who you are, what you stand for, and where you’re going next.
➞ Brand photoshoot and website copy guidelines
➞ 45-minute strategic, pre-intensive, kick-off call
➞ Custom walk-through tutorials showing you how everything works, so you’re set up for success going forward
➞ 30 days of post-intensive support for follow-up questions
INVESTMENT: $2,500
Spots are limited and usually book 3-4 weeks in advance.
The process-
Here’s how it works:
01 | BOOK YOUR DAY
Scroll down and select your date from the calendar below. Choose a date ideally 3-4 weeks in advance so we have time to prepare.
02 | PREPARE
You’ll complete your pre-work so I can get inside your business, your brand and exactly what we’re tackling before your day begins.
03 | KICK-OFF CALL
We’ll meet before your Intensive to review your pre-work, align on priorities, creative direction and what success looks like for our time together.
04 | INTENSIVE DAY
My calendar is cleared. You’re my only client. I spend the day focused on your highest priorities while we collaborate and refine in real time.
05| POST-INTENSIVE
We’ll wrap up, complete one final polish, and make sure you know exactly what to do going forward. You’ll have 30 days access to me for any follow-up questions.
BUT HOW MUCH CAN WE REALLY GET DONE IN A DAY?
After completing hundreds of One-Day Intensives and eight years refining the process, I know exactly how to cut through the unnecessary back-and-forth, make smart decisions quickly, and accomplish an incredible amount of creative and strategic work in a single day.
There’s just one catch 👉 you have to be ready, too.
How much we can achieve is highly dependent on you completing all of your pre-work before we begin, scheduling your kick-off call, and being available throughout the day to answer questions, make decisions and give quick feedback.
Typically, a complete visual brand identity takes one day, a 3-4 page website takes one day, and a 5-7 page website takes two days, so most people need 1-3 days to start.
Action takers, stop here.

“I’ve worked with Sarah on two different brands, and that alone says everything.”
“She built my brand and website for LaneRebelo.co from scratch, and when it was time to refresh TinySigns.com, she was the only person I called. Two completely different businesses, different audiences, different feels, and she nailed both, in a matter of days. It’s like she was reading my mind for each one. If you’re a founder who has outgrown your current look, or building something new and want to start at the level you’re aiming for, Sarah is the person to call.“
~ Lane Rebelo
And yes-
You’re allowed to outgrow a brand you once loved.
The funny thing about a great brand is that you can love it for a really long time.
Meanwhile, your business keeps evolving.
Your offers change.
Your clients get bigger.
Your expertise gets deeper.
Your prices go up.
And one day you look at the brand that used to feel so you and think…
“That’s not who I am anymore.”
You outgrew it. That’s a pretty good problem to have.
Now let’s make you obsessed with it again.
Hey, I’m Sarah
The strategic designer who see’s your whole business.
I’ve spent 20+ years building businesses, brands and marketing systems. My own, and alongside hundreds of other founders.
For seven years I’ve been the go-to VIP Day coach for service providers. 72 summits, 37 podcasts, 1,500 students. I know what it takes to be known for something, and what your brand has to do to keep up with you.
So when you show me your website, I don’t just see the website. I see the offer behind it. The positioning. The marketing. The brand. The ideas you haven’t figured out how to bring to life yet.
I’m here to help you see what you’re too close to see, figure out what comes next, and bring it to life — in days.

“I have seen my sales increase and my email list has grown over 20% in the first month!”
“I was over the moon when we launched the finished product. It looked so “grown up” and was not only so much more professional and on brand than I could have created on my own. The way the copy, photos and your design all came together created a website beyond my imagination.and not only have I received rave reviews from my customers, I have seen my sales increase and my email list has grown over 20% in the first month.“
~ Stacey Rex | Pure Stella Skincare
“I could not have launched my business without her.”
“Sarah is my branding guru! I had an idea, created the product, but needed someone to help me translate my vision into a cohesive and marketable brand. Sarah was that person. She actively listened, offered advice on design and marketing trends and delivered a top-notch brand for my product. I could not have launched my business without her. ”
~ Vanessa Kenon-Hunt
“It was exactly what I wanted!”
“Sarah took what I do and who I am and put it into a brand and website that reflected me. I love what she came up with, the colors, the feel of the website. It was exactly what I wanted. It’s not always easy taking a leap to put your program out in the world, especially when you don’t have any techie skills! Sarah made the process easy and is so skilled at what she does. I always get people telling me how much they love my site and how it is welcoming and calming – exactly what I wanted to get across as a yoga teacher.”
~ Janine Murphy
“BOOM! She nailed it. It’s as close to perfect as possible.
Sarah has an unbelievable way of hearing what we want to see and turning it into a reality when we don’t have the words to say it. I remember at one point Sarah asked us what color family we had thought about and with silence, she responded with ‘okay, what feelings do you want to evoke when someone comes to your website?’ BOOM. Nailed it. It’s as close to perfect as possible.
~ Rachel & Kyle Wright
“I wonder why I waited so long.”
“Bracken House Branding took Meeting Achievements to the next level. The overall re-branding and new website was something that I dreaded doing, but after finding Sarah — I wonder why I waited so long.”
~ Polly Rossi
“I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough!”
“Sarah is absolutely FANTASTIC to work with! She took the time necessary to help really nail down my branding and then translated that into my dream website. Not only did she do a PHENOMENAL job, she responded to feedback swiftly and with a super positive attitude. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough! I will be singing her praises for years to come.”
~ Dana Winkler
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my business needs a rebrand or just a brand refresh?
If your positioning, messaging and overall business strategy still feel right — but your visual brand or website no longer reflects the caliber of your business — you probably don’t need to start over.
A strategic brand refresh can evolve what you already have, keeping the pieces that still feel like you while updating the identity, website and marketing assets that have fallen behind.
If your business has changed so significantly that you’re no longer clear on your positioning, message or what you want to be known for, we’ll start with deeper brand strategy before we design anything.
Do you work with established businesses that already have branding?
Absolutely. In fact, that’s my sweet spot.
I work with established founders, coaches, consultants and online experts who have already built successful businesses but have outgrown the brands and websites that got them here.
You don’t need to throw away a brand you once loved. Sometimes you simply need someone who can see where your business is headed and evolve the brand to meet you there.
Can you redesign my website without completely rebranding my business?
Yes. If your existing logo, colors, fonts and overall brand identity still represent you, we can keep them and focus on your website.
I’m not going to sell you a full rebrand just because that’s what branding agencies are supposed to do. We’ll figure out what’s actually outdated or no longer working and focus our time there.
What is a VIP Design Day or Design Intensive?
A Design Intensive is a focused block of my creative time dedicated entirely to your business.
Instead of stretching a branding or website project across weeks or months, we prioritize what matters most and work through it quickly and collaboratively.
Depending on the scope, you might book one Design Day for a focused refresh or multiple days for a larger brand and website transformation.
What can you accomplish during a Design Intensive?
Every business is different, so we prioritize your Design Days around what will make the biggest impact.
That might include a brand identity refresh, website design, sales pages, presentation decks, lead magnets, marketing collateral or other branded assets.
Larger transformations may require multiple Design Days — and you can always come back when your business needs another round of creative support.
What happens if I need more than one Design Intensive?
No problem at all!
Multiple Design Days are very common for clients who have a larger scope of work.
And you can always come back when your business needs another round of creative support.
Do I need to have my brand strategy and messaging figured out before working with you?
Not necessarily.
If you’re already clear on your audience, positioning, messaging and what you want to be known for, fantastic. You bring the strategy and I’ll bring it to life visually.
If you know you’ve outgrown your current brand but you’re not sure what the next version should say or stand for, we’ll start with The Brand Obsession Method™ to establish that strategic direction before moving into design.
What is The Brand Obsession Method™?
The Brand Obsession Method™ is my strategic branding process for established business owners who know they’ve evolved but aren’t yet clear on how their next brand should be positioned, communicated or brought to life.
We’ll uncover what makes your business distinctly yours — including your positioning, point of view, messaging, brand personality and creative direction — so we’re not designing something that’s simply prettier.
We’re building a brand around the business you’ve become.
Do you offer branding and website design for coaches, consultants and online businesses?
Yes. I specialize in working with established founders, coaches, consultants and online experts whose businesses have evolved beyond their existing branding or website.
Whether you need a strategic refresh, an evolved visual identity, a new website or ongoing creative support, we’ll build around what your business actually needs now.
Do you work with businesses in Charlotte, NC or only online?
Both.
I’m based in Charlotte, North Carolina and love working with local Charlotte-area founders, but my Design Intensives are also available virtually to established business owners throughout the world.
How long does a rebrand or website redesign take?
That’s one of the biggest advantages of the Design Intensive model.
Instead of automatically turning your project into a traditional three-to-six-month branding engagement, we work in focused Design Days.
Some projects may only need one or two days. A more substantial brand and website evolution may take several. We’ll determine the right scope based on what you already have, what still works and what needs to change.
Wait! Don't you also teach Designers how to create a Design Intensive offer?
I sure do! I pioneered this way of working eight years ago, creating a signature VIP Day framework for distilling high-level custom design projects into a focused one-day process.
I’ve been teaching designers how to package, price, sell, and deliver their services using the Day Rate model since 2019 through my signature program, Day Rate Mastery®.
If you’re a designer who landed here thinking, “Wait… I want to work like this too,” I’ve got you.
“I was amazed and how precisely and beautifully she captured the warmth and genuineness I wanted to convey with my website.”
“Working with Sarah has been a game-changer for my team and my business! The website she designed created the credibility and visibility we were seeking. She has a very precise way of asking questions in a way that enables her to really learn a business, and is a dream to work with!”
~ Haynes Paschall
“She totally got me and my brand and the result is absolutely spot on.”
“Being a very hands-on person, I wanted to make sure my branding partner really understood what I was looking for. Well, I could not be happier of my experience working with Sarah! If you are ready to take your business to the next level, then Sarah’s the branding expert you need!”
