Hi. I'm Brook and this is my town.

For over 25 years I've helped companies look as incredible as they actually are. I listen, I dig in, and I build brands that make people stop and say — "okay, these people know what they're doing"

My Story

I grew up an artist. Studied advertising at Utah State University, then spent the next two and a half decades working across every medium you can think of — logos, websites, packaging, signage, pitch decks, campaign collateral, international product launches. I've worked with nonprofits, startups, heritage brands, and everything in between.

What I've learned in 25 years is this: the difference between good and great is usually one follow-up question. AI can't ask it. A task-rabbit won't. I do — every single time.

I'm based in Santa Cruz, CA, and I serve clients locally and worldwide.

How I Work

I run a tight process, communicate clearly, and build things that don't fall apart six months later. My clients stay because the work actually works — and because working together doesn't feel like pulling teeth.

Every project starts with a real conversation. I'll ask the questions I need to ask — not just the ones you thought to answer — and we'll figure out together what's going to move the needle for your brand.

No templates. No AI slop. No handing you off to someone who barely read the brief. Just considered design built precisely for you by me.

 

A Few Things I Believe

Z

Your brand should match your work.

If what you do is exceptional, your brand should reflect that. Good enough isn't good enough.

Z

Human judgment can't be prompted.

I use every tool available — including AI — but there's no algorithm making the calls here. Just 25 years of experience and someone who actually gives a damn.

Z

The best work comes from real partnership.

I'm not here to execute tasks. I'm here to understand your business, ask the hard questions, and deliver something you're proud to put your name on.

"Brook has worked on 2 projects with me for my consulting business. She's professional, very knowledgeable, extremely easy to work with and a good value. As an independent consultant, I have to manage costs and put out high quality graphic design work - newsletters, logos, website, Brook is the perfect partner to help me convey my services to my clients."

"I first hired Brook over a decade ago to help modernize the Coastal Watershed Council's website. Since then, Brook has made it easy to keep the site fresh and functional. We regularly get compliments on CWC's website and how professional and polished it looks. That really matters for a nonprofit organization as it's our face to the world. We can't recommend Brook enough for all her work with us over the years!"

— Laurie Egan, Executive Director
Coastal Watershed Council

Brooklyn designs the graphics, and I create the back end. We have good communication and make an excellent team. Brooklyn has a friendly, upbeat personality which makes it that much better.
