Client Success Story
"I had the pleasure of working with Natsumi to create logos both for my Feng Shui and my Human Resources business, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results."
The logo she designed is not only visually convincing, but also reflects my brand identity in a subtle yet powerful way. The colors, fonts, and overall arrangement are exactly what I had hoped for—elegant, professional, and aligned with my brand values.
Located in NYC, she worked closely with me (located in Germany), throughout the entire process despite of the different time zones and also bridged our different cultural perspectives.
If you're looking for a branding specialist who combines creativity, professionalism, and a natural intuition for her clients’ aspirations, I highly recommend Natsumi.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about brand identity services, brand extensions, the design process, and project support.
What does a brand identity design service include?
Brand identity design typically includes strategy foundation, visual direction, logo design, color palette, typography, and brand guidelines. My process focuses on creating a clear and cohesive system that reflects your brand’s values and helps you communicate consistently across all touchpoints.
This service is for purpose-driven, service-based businesses that want a clear and refined brand identity. It’s especially suited for founders and small business owners who need a professional visual system to communicate their expertise with clarity and confidence.
Who is this branding service for?
How is brand identity different from logo design?
A logo is just one part of a brand identity. Brand identity includes the full visual system—such as typography, color, layout direction, and design style—that ensures your brand looks consistent and professional across all platforms.
Do you offer report or presentation design?
Yes. Through Brand Extensions, I offer strategic report and digital design for marketing assets such as reports, presentations, and business documents. These are designed to simplify complex, text-heavy content into clear and structured visuals.
What makes your design approach different?
I specialize in refined, minimalist brand and editorial design that transforms complex, text-heavy information into clear and visually engaging communication.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to officially book your project. Payment can be made by check, bank wire transfer, or credit card. All materials and files will be delivered once the final payment has been received.
How does payment work?
Do you offer payment plans?
I offer payment plans for Full Brand Identity projects, as custom branding is a meaningful investment. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book your project, with the remaining balance split into two or four payments.
What files are included for delivery?
All final logo designs and design elements come in different file formats including JPG, PNG, EPS, and SVG files. You can also edit and resize your logo or design elements as needed.
Before starting the logo design, we begin with a clarity session over a video call. During this session, I gather key information about your business and create a brand visual mood board to ensure we’re aligned on the visual direction. Clients often share how smooth and enjoyable the logo design process feels as a result.
