I build brand and digital systems that make your business strategy visible across every touchpoint. Brand strategy and digital presence, built as one system.

A comprehensive review of your brand and digital presence. We look at what is working, what is unclear, and where the biggest opportunities are. You leave with a prioritized roadmap and quick wins you can act on immediately.

If you invest in a partner accountable for outcomes that benefit your business, your team, and the people you serve, yes. I work best with leaders who value process and relationships that go beyond the transaction and are ready to grow.

A graphic designer executes visuals. A brand strategist builds the system those visuals live inside: the positioning, messaging, voice, and identity that make a business recognizable and trusted over time. At Wire Design Company, strategy and design work together. The visual work is rooted in intention.

Most businesses treat brand and digital as separate projects. One team handles the look and feel, another handles the website or SEO. When they're built separately, they rarely reinforce each other. When they're built as one system, every touchpoint, your site, your messaging, your visual identity, your search presence, works together to communicate the same thing clearly. That coherence is what builds trust and drives growth.

I work with established businesses ready to grow, funded startups building from the ground up, and companies in transition: rebranding, merging, or entering a new market. Based in Sioux Falls, partnering nationwide.

Engagements are structured to match where you are. Most begin with a brand and site audit and grow from there: a defined project phase or an ongoing retainer typically ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per month.

A refresh updates the expression: visuals, messaging tone, or a single channel that's fallen behind. A rebrand rethinks the foundation: positioning, audience, or how the business has evolved beyond what the current brand can carry. If your business has fundamentally changed, grown into a new market, or the brand no longer reflects who you are, it's worth a deeper conversation. A brand and site audit is a good place to start.

A website that loses leads usually has one of four issues. The message isn't clear enough for the right person to recognize themselves in it. The navigation and page structure make it hard to find what matters. The brand presence doesn't build enough trust before asking for action. Or the site is getting in its own way. Slow load times, heavy themes, and broken or missing pages all push visitors out before they find what they came for. A brand and site audit surfaces exactly which of these is at play and gives you a prioritized path forward.

A fractional brand partner gives you senior strategic leadership without the full-time cost. I work inside your business across brand, digital, and creative systems, embedded in your goals and accountable for outcomes. The work is hands-on and ongoing, not advisory from a distance.

Inconsistency is rarely a people problem. It's a systems + communication problem. When teams lack clear guidelines, templates, and workflows, every person makes their own decisions and the brand drifts. Creative operations work builds the infrastructure your team needs to execute consistently without starting from scratch every time: brand guidelines, content templates, approval workflows, and training.

A brand and site audit typically takes 1–2 weeks. A full brand system runs 8-12 weeks depending on scope. Website projects vary based on size and complexity, with most launching within 16 weeks. Ongoing retainer work is structured in quarterly phases with regular check-ins and defined milestones throughout.

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. Where SEO helps your business rank in search results, AEO helps your business show up in the direct answers that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI overviews surface. As more people search by asking questions rather than clicking links, being the source those tools reference is a significant advantage. Every website Wire Design Company builds is structured for both.
