​​​Hi I'm Karla!

I'M A DESIGNER, BRANDING EXPERT, MOM &
​BRAND DESIGN STUDIO FOUNDER
​
In my early years as a designer, I would have loved a mentor. In college, there wasn’t enough 1:1 time in the classroom, and it was my older peers who helped me the most to improve my skills.

I created The Brand Design Academy to share the knowledge I’ve gained from my 20-years of professional experience in the corporate, agency & freelance world, but I LOVE to mentor aspiring and established designers outside of my program, as well.

​I've always loved the phrase, "be the person you needed when you were younger," and now I want to be the mentor I always wished I had in those early days. I’m here to help!

“Karla's brand design course was just what I needed to have the confidence to add logo design and brand design to my services. I opted for the additional mentoring 1:1 program and found it incredibly useful. Karla was able to show me how to take my initial logo from good to amazing. With her help, I booked my first client!”

​Frequently Asked Questions

Who is your brand design mentorship for?​
My mentorship is for freelance brand and graphic designers who want personalized support as they grow their creative business. Whether you need help with pricing, attracting clients, improving your process, navigating client projects, or figuring out what to focus on next, our time together is tailored to where you are and where you want to go.​
What happens during the weekly mentorship calls?​
We meet four times a month for one-on-one calls focused on whatever you need most at that moment. We can review your work, talk through pricing or proposals, troubleshoot a client situation, refine your process, work on your marketing, or map out your next business move.​
How does the month-to-month mentorship work?​
There’s no long-term program or one-size-fits-all curriculum. Mentorship is month-to-month, so we can focus on your current goals and challenges and adjust as your business evolves.​
What can a brand design mentor help me with?​
A mentor can give you an experienced outside perspective on both your design work and the business behind it. I can help with things like pricing, sales calls, proposals, client communication, workflows, portfolio and website feedback, marketing, positioning, and building a creative business that works for the life you want.
Can I get help with actual client projects?​
Yes! Bring your real projects, questions, and challenges to our calls. We can review concepts, talk through client feedback, troubleshoot scope or pricing issues, and figure out your next steps together—so you're applying what you learn directly to your business.​
How do I know if one-on-one design mentorship is right for me?​
If you’re tired of trying to figure out every part of running a design business on your own, mentorship gives you a place to ask questions, get feedback, and make decisions with more confidence. It’s especially helpful if you want individualized guidance rather than another course or generic business formula.​
