Better: The Brand Designer Podcast

This week is a little solo episode where I’m breaking down how my studio stays organized while supporting around 15 to 20+ client projects all at the same time, plus the systems and tools we use to keep everything running smoothly.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Sarah Robb, a brand strategy coach, founder of Brand Strategy Academy, and co-author of the book Rebrand Right. After many years at Landor working with brands like Gatorade and Pfizer, she shares what she brought with her from agency life and what she left behind. We also get into how independent designers can talk about strategy in a way clients actually understand, why real conversations with people still matter so much with AI in the mix, and the pricing and confidence gaps she found when she surveyed designers.

In this episode, I chat with Brooklyn of Glorybright Studio about how her health journey took her from freelancing and taking on any design project to niching into serving holistic practitioners and wellness brands. We talk about how her values and faith shaped her positioning, why speaking from personal experience makes marketing and sales feel simpler, and how this shift has changed the way she shows up for her kids and family.

In this solo episode, I chat all about how AI has impacted our studio, how we use it, how we see our clients using it (the good & the bad) where we don’t use it, and how we have implemented AI clauses in both our clients and subcontractors contracts.
