Personal brands. Without the brag.
I've lived across three continents — working for consumer giants in India to banks in Nigeria to startups in Silicon Valley.What's common across all those projects, gigs, clients, countries, agencies? Brand building.In every role, I worked closely with founders, breaking down brands for them. It took a lot of research and experiments. I probably own more advertising books than there are lakes in Ontario. The path hasn't been a straight line, but over the years I got better at delivering brand clarity. Defining the brand as clearly as possible. Because once that part is done, everything downstream becomes easier.How do I simplify brand building for my clients? What's the 80-20? What can I cut without losing the essence of the brand? These questions have been my north star. Over the years I've tried so many frameworks, aggressively reducing the process to its bare minimum.Here's what I've learned. It isn't the brand colours. It isn't the logo. It isn't the design tools. It isn't the brand circus.It's the belief that powers your brand. The belief the founder injects into it.Now I'm distilling those lessons into step-by-step guidance, tools, and inspiration to help you build your personal brand. No jargon. No overwhelm. No brag.Whether you're the reluctant expert or the reclusive founder — if you know your work is good but your brand isn't keeping up, book a call with me.
