Meet Your Brand Strategist & Designer
(The one who believes pretty branding is overrated.)
Usually after people spend some time with me, they start saying things like...
"I feel like I
have my sh*t together"
am so much clearer about my brand"
actually WANT to promote my offers again"
When we work together, you might feel like I’m a mind reader… but I’m actually just a brand strategist who is really freaking good at listening.
For the last decade, I've been helping online service providers and coaches untangle the ideas, expertise, and ambitions that feel hard to explain, and impossible to showcase visually.
Together, we turn them into brands that are clear, confident, and impossible to ignore.
Most people come to me thinking they need a new logo or website… and sometimes they do.
But more often than not, what they need first is strategy.
That's why I created the Stand Out Brand™ System. It’s my proven strategy-first approach that helps online service providers build brands that don't just look professional, but actually support the business they're trying to grow.
If you're looking for someone to simply make things pretty, I'm probably not your girl.
But if you're looking for someone who can help you understand your business on a deeper level and translate that into a brand that drives real growth in your business…
Hiiiiii 👋
Welcome! I think you're going to like it here.
The hill I’m willing to die on:
Design gets attention, but strategy gets results.
The internet has convinced a lot of us that branding is about picking the perfect colors, designing a beautiful logo, and finding the perfect website template.
I couldn't disagree more.
Don't get me wrong… I love great design.
I mean, I did spend four precious (and expensive) years getting a visual communications degree after all.
But a beautiful brand without a strategy is kind of like building a house on sand. It might look incredible from the outside, but it won't take long before the cracks start to show.
That's why we don't start with Pinterest boards. We start with questions.
→ Who are you trying to reach?
→ What do they actually care about?
→ What makes your business different from your competitors?
→ What do you want to be known for?
Once you have those answers, every decision around your brand from your messaging to your website to your visuals becomes easier, more intentional, and infinitely more effective.
Instead of second guessing your way through business or reinventing your brand every few years, you have a foundation that’s built to get your closer to your goals.
And believe me…
I have plenty more spicy opinions about branding and business.
Every week on The Six Figure Brand® Podcast, I get into the nitty gritty details and real behind-the-scenes of what it takes to build a brand that stands out, connects with the right people, and supports your business goals.
In Case You’re Wondering Why You Should Trust Me With Your Brand...
Over the last 10+ years I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of business owners create brands they're genuinely proud of.
Along the way I've also...
Earned Bachelor's degrees in both Graphic Design and Marketing
Created the Stand Out Brand™ System
Published nearly 100 episodes of The Six Figure Brand® Podcast
Built a collaborative creative studio serving clients around the world
Been recognized as a Certified Military Spouse Owned Business
Spoken inside masterminds, memberships, workshops, podcasts, and entrepreneurial communities
I've watched clients walk away from our work together and raise their rates, book better-fit clients, launch new offers, grow their teams, and finally feel confident showing up as the expert they've already become.
That's the kind of impact that gets me out of bed each day.
(Ok actually, it’s the third snooze of my alarm clock and at least one amped up toddler… but you get the point 😉)
I Could Literally Talk About Branding All Day…
And frequently, I do!
I've had the privilege of sharing my expertise with audiences through podcasts, guest trainings, workshops, and events across the internet.

I can’t guarantee results.
But here’s what I CAN promise you:
No designer, strategist, or marketer can honestly guarantee what will happen after you launch your new brand.
And if they do… that’s a biiiiig red flag 🚩🚩🚩
But I can promise you’ll feel heard, supported, informed, and equipped to move forward with your brand.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Authentic Connection
Your business isn't just another project on our calendar or notification in our Stripe account.
Before we ever open Adobe Illustrator or Squarespace, we take a lot of time to understand your goals, your audience, your strengths, and your vision for the future.
Because the better we know your business, the better results we can help you achieve.
Proactive Communication
We take our partnership and your satisfaction seriously.
That’s why we welcome feedback and never place a limit on revisions so you won’t feel rushed or pressured to make a decision.
We're building something that's meant to serve your business for years to come.
Taking the time to get it right isn't a burden.. It's a key part of the process.
Steadfast Support
You'll never wonder what's happening behind the scenes.
From weekly project updates to clear timelines and next steps, you'll always know exactly where your project stands and what's coming next.
You’re also welcome to schedule a 15min client check in any time if you have questions or just want to chat face-to-face about your project.
Education & Empowerment
We will never hand you a beautiful brand and then just wave goodbye.
In order for your new brand and website to serve you best, you need to actually understand how to use it.
At the end of every project we provide personalized training and options for ongoing support so that you can leave feeling confident, capable, and excited to put your new brand to work.
The “& Co.” Behind Specht & Co.
My name’s on the door, but I don’t do this alone.
Building a truly stand out brand takes a lot of different areas of expertise, and I’m a big believer in knowing what you’re great at... and when it’s best to bring in someone who’s even better.
Every project at Specht & Co. is supported by our dedicated Studio Manager and Graphic Designer, who help keep projects running smoothly and bring every detail of your brand to life right alongside me.
Then, depending on what your project calls for, we bring in trusted specialists in areas like copywriting, SEO, photography, and marketing to make sure you have the right expertise at the table when you need it.
That means you get the benefit of a collaborative team without having to piece together a bunch of disconnected contractors or play middleman between five different people. We work together behind the scenes so your strategy, messaging, visuals, website, and marketing all feel cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably you.
