think Agency offering but without the price tag

Your brand isn’t one thing.

It’s everything — strategy, visuals, messaging, marketing, socials.

If your business feels a bit like an overflowing junk drawer with ideas everywhere, nothing quite matching - you need me.

I’m Karla. I help businesses stop guessing, start strategising, and actually look like they know what they’re doing (because they do).

Brand Strategy, Graphic Design, Marketing and Social Media - I connect all the dots so everything works together instead of fighting for attention.

No fluff. No 37-page jargon documents. Just clarity, creativity, and work you’re excited to show off.

Brand Strategy

This is where we zoom out, slow down, and get seriously clear about what you’re building and why.

We work together to untangle things like who you’re speaking to,

what you want to be known for,

what actually matters over the next several months or years.

You leave with direction, priorities and a plan that doesn’t make you want to cry.

- design that looks good and does its job.

Your brand should feel like you on your best day - not like something you downloaded at 2am and hoped nobody noticed.

Logos, identity systems, collateral, packaging, graphics… if it needs to look intentional, I’m your person.

Cohesive, professional, future-proof , all without losing personality.

MARKETING SUPPORT

Campaigns, launches, planning, content direction

- your creative partner without the full‑time salary.

You’ve got ideas. You just need someone who knows how to wrangle them. That's me!

Or you may just have an end goal and need ideas to get you there. That's also me!

Campaigns, launches, email, planning, content direction - I help you take what’s in your head and turn it into something that actually works.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Aligned, on‑brand content that doesn’t make you want to delete your apps.

Pricing

I’m all about transparency without pretending every project fits in the same tiny box.

You’ll see a mix of:

Fixed pricing

For things like workshops, Power Hours and clearly defined sessions.
Easy. Clear. No surprises.

“Prices from"

For brand, design, marketing and social media projects where scope can change.

“From” simply means:
We start here → then shape it based on your goals, timeline and what you actually need.

You always get a clear proposal before we begin. No mystery fees. No “oh by the way…”

If you’re unsure where you sit, we’ll talk it through. Promise.

Why do you use “prices from”?

Because businesses are not frozen yogurt toppings.
You don’t just pick three and call it a day.

Some projects are simple.
Some have layers.
Some need deeper strategy and ongoing support.

“Prices from” gives you a realistic starting point, then we customise from there so you’re not overpaying or under-scoping.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes - for bigger projects, we break things into milestones:

Deposit → Midway → Before final handover.

If we need to tweak slightly so it feels manageable, we’ll chat. I want this to work for both of us. this item.

Will you tell me if I’m asking for the wrong thing?

Absolutely. Kindly, but directly.

If something won’t help your business or the timing isn’t right I’ll suggest a smarter option instead. I want you to get value, not regret.
