What's the cost of underwhelming or inconsistent branding?

  • It takes 50 milliseconds for your visitors to form an opinion about your website and decide whether to stay or leave1.
  • First impressions matter. It’s a lot harder to change your audience’s perception of your business once they’ve already formed an opinion.
  • Inconsistent branding has a cost. The lack of clarity and guidelines will leave you burnt out from reinventing the wheel every time you’re creating new content and marketing your business.

Meet Hari

A headshot of Hari

Hi, I’m Hari! I am passionate about helping mission and purpose-driven businesses and organizations with crafting their brand strategy and design assets so that they can stay focused on what they are most passionate about.

I learned to code my first website at the age of 12 to help my parents attain a much-needed website to help their small business. Over the last 15 years, I have developed a strategic, collaborative, and empathetic approach to design and brand strategy that has not only resulted in excellent high-quality design deliverables and assets, but has also helped my clients get more customers, increase their revenue, and maintain more consistent and sustainable marketing efforts.

As a purpose and values-driven person myself, I understand the impact that business has on our world. I created Essencify Design to be a part of the solution by supporting businesses that care about people and the planet in addition to the bottom line.

“Hari will listen, take time with you to understand your vision, and you will feel heard and understood.”

The Essencify Design Approach

A roadmap to making a purposeful impression

Phase 1

Discovery

We start by assessing your existing branding assets, learning about your business, your audience, and learning more about your current goals and challenges.

“Hari asked the right questions to really understand who I am, who I serve, and how to communicate that on the platforms I use. It was really a process of self-discovery as well as business development, which was truly unexpected and so supportive.”

Phase 4

Implementation

With a thoughtfully well-crafted and tailored design language, we will develop the essential assets and deliverables that will help you to best position your business to attract the clients and customers you desire.

Commonly, the deliverables include messaging and brand guidelines, logo and related assets, and a turnkey, fully functional, and easy-to-update website. Each business is unique. We will help you discover what deliverables will best fit your goals and your budget, create a custom package for you, and help you launch into the next stage of success in your business.

Your investment will provide you with confidence, flexibility, and longevity!

“People love our websites. We love the feel and how it has transitioned well over time and is still relevant - meaning we don't have to keep reinventing every 2 years - it is timeless.”
