Design solutions for brands that care
Your work is purposeful. Shouldn't your brand be too?
You're already doing the hard, good work. A brand that reflects that same purpose, even in noisy, fast-moving times, helps people trust you before they've even talked to you.

Hi, I'm Hari. I've been designing since I was 12, when I built my first website to help my parents' small business, and I've spent the last 20 years building a collaborative, strategic approach that bridges brand identity and digital product design. I bring a user-centered, trauma-informed lens to every project, helping nonprofits and mission-driven businesses show up clearly, with confidence, for the people they serve.
I grew up in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest, where I saw firsthand the impact people can have on the world around them, for better or worse. Essencify Design exists because I believe that impact can be positive. As a former Climate Designers Chapter Co-Leader, I bring that same commitment to people and planet into every brand and website I build, supporting organizations who care about their impact as much as their bottom line.
