It’s not about attracting everyone, it’s magnetising the right people.
It’s not just about the money; it’s all about the freedom that money creates
It’s not about people liking you, it’s about falling back in love with your purpose.
The mindset shift begins here!
Although our goal is to create a gorgeous brand that truly feels like you, that's not all we’re aiming for. We want you to move forward in your business, knowing exactly who you are and who you serve. We want you to shift your perspective on growing a business that’s sustainable and authentic for you so you can move forward in your business and create the life you've always dreamed of!
When you’ve built a brand that's aligned, your audience sees you as someone valuable. You’re able to charge higher prices because of the experience your brand makes, not to mention the increase in bookings when your target audience builds trust with you. Do you want more opportunities to do the work you love and create more freedom in your business? Fuck yeah, you do!
We believe your personality and who you are as a business owner are just as important as any aspect of brand strategy. We believe that when you put your personality forward, you attract your dream audience, just by putting your authentic self out there. You’ll find clients who are obsessed with your brand and everything about it because they see themselves within it.
The right brand and website does more than just look nice!

Unlike so many other branding studios out there, she really focuses her entire attention onto your brand. Don't ever be discouraged about it being done in a day because the quality is top notch, the communication is quick and seamless, and she comes up with ideas that speak to your soul that you would never even though of! Even with a few small revisions, she was so quick to get them turned around and I couldn't believe how awesome it all was. AND DID I MENTION! It was done in a day!
LOVED TIL DEATH
The experience was seamless! Sarah was kind, quick, on point, communicated clearly and really applied any feedback so well. Sarah is an illustration wizard. I love her illustrations and it's really darn impressive how quick she is with them too! The design was amazing, I love her sense of style and direction and you can really see that reflected in her work. You guys have this down to a science, it's amazing!! I don't think I've ever gassed someone up this much but they are extremely talented at what they do, seriously!

Illustrative branding is kinda our thing
this is how IT WORKS
Over the years, we’ve loved working with photographers and creatives, but one thing we’ve always found is how damn busy they are!
Cuz honestly.. same. It’s so frustrating having month-long timelines and having to remember so many dates and delaying your feedback because you’re out of the country travelling. We get it, and we want to fuel your creativity and encourage that freedom (because we’re the same). That’s why we’ve designed our VIP days to be as simple, stress-free and fun as possible, allowing you to book your day, chip at your homework in-between sessions, and just book ONE DAY out of your schedule (hello editing days) to dedicate to feedback. We see you busy creatives; we built this especially for you.

Got a bigger project in mind?
Our packages are built to create a great entry level for businesses who have been in business for 2-3 years, but we know, especially with our clients, that not one size fits all. If you’re looking for a project that may need more deliverables, more time, is more extensive, and wants something built to suit you, then we’d love to work with you. Please get in touch and tell us more about what you have in mind. We, unfortunately, don’t do custom quotes for smaller projects as our packages are entry-point services, and we love to continue to work with those clients in the future.
"I felt like you really listened to me with my hopes for elevated simplicity."
I can't believe how much more mobile-friendly this website is. I used to tell people to just view my site on their laptops because I was so frustrated and ashamed of the mobile view. I felt like Kern & Ink really listened to me with my hopes for elevated simplicity. I'm so damn excited to use this as an actual business tool. I was so stressed about the financial investment. But I couldn't be more confident that this was the right choice for me and my business!
"Literally just want to find more projects so we can keep working together! "
Sarah is beyond amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better brand design! I've always really struggled with my brand, my colors, my voice and I feel like you were able to find a brand that really resonates with me! You are simply the best and loved working with you! Literally just want to find more projects so we can keep working together!
"I know she takes the time to hand-illustrate everything which makes it extra special."
Kern & Ink is freaking magic! Working with Sarah was truly one of the easiest things I've done in awhile. Her willingness to be available to her clients is one for the books! Sarah has quite the gift to be able to get to know you & design a brand that is so uniquely you. I know she takes the time to hand illustrate everything which makes it extra special. I honestly cannot say enough good things her!
"One of my absolute favorite things about Kern and Ink studio is the turn around time!"
Unlike so many other branding studios out there, she really focuses her entire attention onto your brand. Don't ever be discouraged about it being done in a day because the quality is top notch, the communication is quick and seamless, and she comes up with ideas that speak to your soul that you would never even though of! Even with a few small revisions, she was so quick to get them turned around and I couldn't believe how awesome it all was. AND DID I MENTION! It was done in a day!
"The best experience I've had with anyone in this field."
The experience was seamless! Sarah was kind, quick, on point, communicated clearly and really applied any feedback so well. Sarah is an illustration wizard. I love her illustrations and it's really darn impressive how quick she is with them too! The design was amazing, I love her sense of style and direction and you can really see that reflected in her work. You guys have this down to a science, it's amazing!! I don't think I've ever gassed someone up this much but they are extremely talented at what they do, seriously!
"I never felt like a "number" and felt like I was working with a small business who truly cares about me!"
I feel so well taken care of, loved, and heard. I am truly so impressed. I already showed a few friends and their first response was, "OMG THAT IS ALL SO YOU!" And that's exactly what I wanted - a brand that is ME to my core. I couldn't believe how I would mention an idea or a little tweak during the process and then Sarah just completely knocked my socks off with what she provided. She is such a talented artist.
"I felt so comfortable and confident that we were on the same page the whole time"
Sometimes working with others can give me anxiety, but Sarah made it such a seamless and smooth process for me, and the whole brand-in-a-day idea in itself is amazing. I felt so comfortable and confident that we were on the same page the whole time we exchanged emails and feedback. And I have no words for the magic she created for my brand and me! I’m over the moon happy about how everything came out, just so absolutely grateful! ‘

Want a gorgeous brand and new website without the long timelines and constant back and forth for months??
Over the years, we've love working with photographers and other creative business owners. But one thing we've found with all of them is just how damn busy they!! Well, honestly.. same. It’s so frustrating having month-long timelines and having to remember so many dates and delaying your feedback because you’re out of the country travelling. We get it, and we want to fuel your creativity and encourage that freedom (because we’re the same).

It’s not about attracting anyone and everyone, it’s about magnetising your dream people.
As a business owner, your personality and character are just as important as any aspect of your brand strategy. By putting your authentic self out there, you attract your dream audience and build a brand that aligns with you. This creates trust with your audience and allows you to charge higher prices because of the experience your brand provides. Ultimately, this leads to more opportunities to do the work you love and creates more freedom in your business. Who doesn’t want more freedom?!
While our goal is to create a beautiful brand that truly represents you, we're not just focused on aesthetics. We want you to have a clear understanding of who you are and who you serve, and to shift your perspective on growing a sustainable and authentic business.
