Which leads me to wanting to share with you three branding lessons from my time in Osaka. 

You asked, I answered—from how we’re balancing work and travel, to snack obsessions, slow afternoons, and what’s next on the itinerary (spoiler: it involves a beach).

Okay if you’re anything like me, you would love a visual. I thought it would be fun to show you guys a full breakdown of what I popped together for this client's Monday Makeover package. This is my full brand and web design package. All inclusive, aligned, impactful branding delivered across a range of touchpoints.
