At the end of the day, the bigger investment is worth it! ✨
Happy Labor Day! OBD is closed today for some much needed R&R. 🧖♀️ We hope you all are enjoying the holiday, too! ☀️
New launch in 3...2…🚀
When Kasandra came to us for website updates for her business, Growth and Resolve Counseling, she was looking for a better layout and more cohesive color scheme so that her brand would be perceived as professional with friendly, down to earth, high quality therapists.
Here’s what she said about the final site:
“Kim did such a fantastic job on my site! I wasn't sure what I wanted so I let her have creative freedom and I am so happy with the results!! She went above and beyond what little direction I gave her. I highly recommend working with OB for your website needs!”
Thanks, Kasandra, for trusting OBD with this project! 🤩

The old, struggling freelancer Kim was always hesitant to invest in herself. Spending money is scary when you’re constantly working to get money in, but turns out, it was the biggest key to success all along. 🔑 Spoiler alert: courses are not actually a waste of money. Once Kim realized this, she started investing in herself, taking courses and hiring coaches, and was able to transform from that struggling freelancer to a successful owner of a design agency. 💎 Now, she’s taken all the valuable knowledge she’s gained from those investments and condensed it into one course for designers, The Profitable Brand Designer. If you’re a talented freelancer who needs a little help with the ‘business’ side of the business, click the link below to learn more about The Profitable Brand Designer! https://onbranddesigns.com/the-profitable-brand-designer #onbranddesign #charlestonsc #branddesigner #branding #branddesign

Meet Kim As an artist and crafter from childhood, Kim’s creativity, along with almost two decades of experience has led to her ability to execute every project with precision. She began her design career with a degree in communications design and packaging design among an elite group of designers, from The Fashion Institute of Technology. Working for top branding agencies in New York City in packaging design for leading brands, has given her the ability to work on a variety of successful campaigns.
Kim has the ability to take your vision and your ideas and turn them into a suite of visual communication tools that speak to your target market. Not only does she want to make you look good, she wants to utilize an intuitive design process to create your memorable and unique brand with the highest level of professional design.
When she is not busy working, Kim enjoys traveling to visit friends and family throughout the US and of course her favorite escape, any warm beach. She also enjoys coffee, fashion, working out, wine tasting, and spoiling her Maltese, Zoe, aka “the muse”.
