The thread running through every part of your brand starts with the strategic decisions behind the design
“I really appreciate the design kit Tasha put together for us. I've been using it A LOT, and the flexibility she built into it has been incredible. It's allowed us to stitch together a common brand feel across EVERYTHING. Program and posters, signage and banners, newspaper ads, digital assets...It's consistent and clean!”
—Joe, Puppet’s Up! Festival
“I had no clue what I wanted my branding to look like and was worried that it would take forever to figure it out. Tasha took my brain dump and made sense of all the noise in my brain, but she also created absolutely magical branding that was better than I ever imagined. Everyone I’ve shown my new branding has said it represents me and my business so well. I can’t wait for the world to see it too.”
—Aimee, Waddell Media
Strategy before scope
Direction before design
Clarity before commitment
The Brand Plan
Our Signature Brand Strategy Service
The Brand Plan is the first phase of every project. It works out what your brand actually needs and why, then turns that thinking into a researched creative direction and a tailored scope for the design work that follows.
Together, We’ll:
- Put words around what the business stands for and where it’s going
- Look closely at what your customers care about and how they make decisions
- Study the competition and the trends your brand needs to stand out from
- Translate what we learn into a visual direction with a reason guiding every choice
- Map out clear options for the design work we can take on together next

Every Brand Plan ends with a custom quote for the design work that follows. Here’s a peek at what that next phase could look like for you.

A brand building project typically includes brand identity, packaging concepts, social media templates, stock imagery, a coming-soon page, and a pitch deck.
$6,500–$9,500 CAD
If you’re ready to sell or take bookings
A full brand build project typically includes brand identity, full packaging design, a multi-page Shopify website, social media templates, and stock imagery.
$17,500–$24,500 CAD
Understanding your brand beyond the design gives us more freedom in the design

We study your business, your customers, and the brands competing for their attention so you feel confident investing in what your brand needs.

We turn the plan into a brand identity, then bring it into the packaging and e-commerce website for your products or the signage and booking website for your space.
Expand
As your business grows, we’ll extend the same creative direction into new products, locations, and campaigns so every addition feels like part of the same brand.

One revision and an optional follow-up call are included.

Tasha, Form + Flow’s founder and creative director, leads every project and will bring in trusted copywriters, developers, ad strategists, printers, and other specialists based on what the work calls for.
