Hello, I’m Kim.
I’ve developed standout brands and creative deliverables for over 100 small businesses, as well as working with household names such as CVS, Skinny Cow, La Brea Bread, and Too Faced. I combine a wicked sharp eye for design and practical business savvy for the best of both the creative and strategic worlds.

Fuze Branding is the dream team of branding. We had a GREAT experience working with Kim and Laura throughout the branding process. They really nailed everything: our brilliant new business name, a beautiful logo, a brand identity that really captured our message and goals, and a stunning website. Everything turned out even better than we imagined. We are so excited to launch our new brand and thankful to have found such a supportive branding team behind us.

December 4, 2019We were looking for the right branding company to work with and when I stumbled across Fuze branding while doing some research online. As soon as I checked their website and their portfolio I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Fuze Branding right away. Their creative, colorful, and fun look really pulled me in. Working with Kim and Laura on our Visual Brand Identity for our small business was a blast. They gave us a timeline of what to expect. They provided us step by step process of of our Visual Brand Identity. We were so impressed with their professionalism and the work they produced. They brought our dream brand come to life. Thank you Kim and Laura. I am excited to continue to work with Fuze Branding to work on our website and we will be hiring them for our brand photos. I cannot recommend Fuze Branding enough. They are really good at what they do.

July 7, 2018The team at Fuze was a dream to work with. Every step was impeccably managed and followed up on. Their work was top notch, and their project management process was so easy to follow! As two new business owners who had never fully built a visual identity or website from scratch, the patience and hand holding from Fuze was immeasurably helpful. We cannot recommend them enough - we get compliments on the brand and the website every day! Thank you Kim, Laura, and team!!!!

I'm a small business owner, and I recently worked with Fuze to develop a brand/identity for my business. The whole team was amazing to work with, especially Kim, who developed our visual identity (including logo and brand colors), our website, and other items such as letterhead, business cards and thank you cards. Kim was very responsive and easy to work with, and I love her creativity and attention to detail. She really took the time to learn about our business and personality so that the designs would convey the right message to our clients. I also love that Fuze has packages to choose from, so you know ahead of time what you're getting, how much you're paying, and approximately how long the process will take... no surprises. We have gotten great feedback on our new website and identity from our clients. I would highly recommend Fuze to anyone in need of branding services!

Let’s lay it on the table. As the founder and creative director for two previous businesses—one service-based and one product-based—I have a unique understanding of what it means to craft compelling, memorable design deliverables that strike the practical balance of the creative and corporate process. I love developing the perfect, high value design solution to convey fresh perspective…And I understand that efficiency is a vital part of the work flow. If you can’t get it in front of your customers in time, you’re leaving a vacuum which your competitors are happy to fill.
With over a decade of experience as a creative director, senior graphic designer, and photographer, I bring a jam-packed toolkit of processes and skills that I’ve tested in the trenches with hundreds and hundreds of unique creative projects.
After working remotely for the last several years, many times as the solo creative on a project, I’m excited to experience the energy of face-to-face collaboration with passionate teammates in a longterm partnership.
