Brand Discovery

Brand Discovery

Find the Heart of Your Mission Through Insight and Collaboration

Strong brands aren’t built on assumptions — they’re built on understanding. For nonprofits, civic programs, and mission-driven organizations, that understanding comes from the people who live, lead, and experience your work every day.

My Process

Brand Discovery is where strategy begins. Through a blend of qualitative research, community engagement, and creative facilitation, I uncover the truths that matter most — to your team, your supporters, and the communities you serve.

Every discovery process is customized to your goals — whether you’re rebranding, expanding programs, aligning internal teams, or clarifying your organization’s story and impact.

This phase typically involves:

  • In-depth interviews with leadership, staff, and key partners

  • Focus groups and stakeholder workshops

  • Community engagement sessions and audience research

  • Collaborative synthesis and insight mapping
