Where your evolved craft meets its visual home. For creative entrepreneurs who've mastered their work but outgrown their brand—we translate your creative vision into an artful presence that positions you as the go-to in your space.
You want your brand and website to feel like a home for your best work—and a place your future clients instantly get it.
You've been building something with substance for years—investing in your craft, your client experience, your growth. But your visual story hasn't evolved alongside you. When your brand finally reflects the depth of your work, those dream clients stop scrolling and start reaching out.
You're Ready for The Signature When...
Your portfolio showcases remarkable work, but your brand feels like a chapter from your past. You find yourself apologizing for your website before sharing it with peers or potential clients. You know your rates should reflect your experience, but your current presence is holding you back from that next-level positioning you've earned through years of dedication to your craft.
The Signature isn't just another rebrand—it's the artful translation of who you've become.
Through our collaborative, methodical process, we distill the essence of your work into a visual language that resonates with the clients you want to attract. We don't just make things pretty; we craft an intentional presence that positions you exactly where you belong—at the forefront of your field. Think of it as the visual home where your evolved self can finally breathe, expand, and be recognized for the quality you've quietly cultivated all these years. In the same way you've refined your craft with intention and care, we'll shape your brand with the same level of thoughtfulness—creating a presence that doesn't just represent your work, but elevates it.

"I had no idea what to expect—I just knew I had a vision I couldn’t bring to life on my own. Working with Dovetail Studio was seamless and exciting from start to finish. Every detail was handled with such patience and precision, and the final brand is beyond anything I could have imagined. A true master of your craft!"
"Working with Kara was seamless from start to finish. The entire process felt thoughtful, and now I have a brand that truly reflects my business. I even use parts of her process in my own client work!"
"I came in with scattered ideas, and Kara completely understood my vision—even the messy word dumps I sent her. She translated everything into a brand that represents me in every way. The process was so smooth, and I couldn’t be happier with the result."
With an Arts & Letters degree and a background in UX design, I live at the intersection of art and intention. I believe your brand should feel like coming home—to yourself, to your vision, to the work you've been cultivating all these years. My approach blends strategic thinking with an artist's eye, creating brands that don't just look beautiful, but actually move your business forward.
Your brand isn't static—it's a living ecosystem that breathes with your evolution. That's why I've crafted The Signature to honor where you've been while illuminating where you're headed.
When I'm not transforming brands for creative entrepreneurs, you'll find me gallery-hopping with my two little ones, planning our next adventure abroad (Italy has my whole heart), or getting way too excited about typography over coffee.
The Signature isn't just about pretty design
(though they are stunning)
Each step of your brand's evolution unfolds over approximately 4 weeks—whether that's brand, web, or copy. This rhythm can quicken or slow depending on how promptly you're able to provide feedback at each milestone. I've designed this timeline to honor both the creative process and your busy schedule, creating space for inspiration without unnecessary waiting.
After filling out the application, you're welcome to book a connection call where we can explore which path feels most aligned with your current chapter. Some creatives arrive knowing exactly what they need, while others discover it through our conversation. Both approaches lead to beautiful transformations.
Some arrive with vision boards and detailed dreams, others with just a feeling they can't quite name. Both are perfect starting points. The Signature process is designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether that's with a crystal-clear vision or a beautiful jumble of ideas waiting to be untangled. My role is to listen deeply and translate what matters most into visuals that resonate.
Understanding your schedule is already full, I've designed a feedback process that respects your time. After each presentation, you'll receive a thoughtfully organized document where you can leave written feedback at your convenience. If you'd prefer a more conversational approach, we can absolutely schedule a call—but never at the expense of your calendar. Your evolution should feel spacious, not squeezed between meetings.
Your brand's evolution is one of the most significant investments you'll make in your business's growth. Most clients choose to distribute this investment over a 3-month payment plan, allowing the transformation to unfold alongside manageable payments. The specific investment varies by tier, but I've created options that honor both the value of thoughtful design and the realities of growing a creative business.
The Signature isn't about creating a pretty façade—it's about revealing the true essence of your work. While many designers focus primarily on aesthetics, our approach balances beauty with strategy, intuition with intention. We're creating more than visuals; we're crafting the feeling people have when they encounter your work. It's the difference between a brand that looks good and one that actually resonates.
