About Moonstone

If you want a business that gets seen, you need a brand designer who sees you

You’re building a reputation with your brand whether you mean to or not. The question is, does that reputation match who you’ve become?

You’ve got big plans for your business. For your life. And to get there, you need a brand that’s as individual, as idiosyncratic, as stellar, as you. 

You’ve worked too hard to be held back by misaligned branding or an amateur website.

With me as your brand designer, that’s never going to be a problem.

The Backstory

I knew I was onto something the first time the moon paid my rent

Pre-2016, I never mentioned astrology to a client. I’d been drawn to it since childhood, but kept it completely separate from my work. By that point I was starting to feel restless and resentful in my career, and I couldn’t figure out why.

Then I designed a moon calendar, just for fun. It became an Amazon bestseller. And that’s when I realized: astrology is every bit as powerful visually as it is psychologically—just like branding.

When I look at your birth chart, I see colour, texture, the weight of a typeface. Every chart is a mood board hiding in plain sight. It’s a translation process I’ve spent a decade sharpening.

It’s also how I cracked the problem I kept hitting with clients. When I’d ask what made them unique, they’d draw a blank. Market research couldn’t find it either. But their birth chart could. And I knew how to interpret it.

Clients in tears on presentation calls became the norm. Design revisions all but disappeared. Everyone said the same thing: They’d never felt so seen. So ready.

That’s what the Moonstone Method™ is build on. Seventeen years of design expertise and a decade of dedicated star study, distilled into a process you can count on to set you up for your fullest phase of business.

We were probably written in the stars if you…

  • Are in a committed relationship with your business

  • Prefer simple, spacious design over maximalism and cluttercore

  • Agree that great design takes time and aren’t in a rush to launch yesterday

  • Are open to learning more about yourself through an astrological lens

  • Don’t mind the occasional Zoom call interruption from my cat
