You built something worth believing in.

Brand clarity workshops that help outdoor and wellness businesses attract customers who see their value, not just their price. 

Not sure where to start? Grab my Free Vision Board Kit to see your brand before you build it.

You didn’t start this business to be like every other brand.

You started your outdoor or wellness business because you saw a gap in the market. Maybe the big brands were cutting corners on quality. Maybe they lost touch with the community. Maybe you just knew you could do it better with more integrity, better materials, or deeper care.

But if your brand feels scattered, your messaging is inconsistent, and your visuals don't match, customers can't see what makes you different. So they compare you on price instead.

You need a brand that attracts customers who value what you value, not just the lowest price.

Brand clarity fixes that.

You’re not starting from scratch. You’re starting from experience.

A Practical Approach to Brand Clarity

The Brand Explorer Workshops are a guided clarity-first brand strategy process designed to help you build a strong brand foundation from the inside out.

Most founders build their brand as they go.

Over time, marketing decisions can start to feel disconnected and inconsistent without a clear and meaningful direction.

That’s where the Brand Explorer Workshops come in.

By the end, you'll have language and a brand direction you can return to instead of starting from scratch every time. You can see what you’ve built, how it works, and why it resonates with the people you want to reach.

Each workshop uses prompts and a companion workbook to walk you through structured exercises based on the same strategic format I use in my 1:1 client work.

 

You’ll surface insights that often go unseen when you’re deep inside your own business (your real impact, the true value of your offers, your unique personality, and what genuinely sets you apart) and organize them in a way that’s practical and usable as you move forward.

What the workshops help you get clear on

 

Your brand’s identity, personality, point of view, values, impact, and vision for the future

How to describe what you do in a way that feels natural, not salesy

Why people choose you (beyond features, trends, or price)

How to make more consistent branding decisions on your website, in your content, and throughout your marketing as a whole

 

The Brand Explorer Workshops are rooted in clarity-first brand strategy for small businesses,

helping founders build a human-centered foundation before design, marketing, or growth decisions.

Here’s How the Workshops Work

The Brand Explorer Workshops are designed to be modular – you can start with whichever challenge you're facing right now. Though, if you're building from scratch or feeling unclear across the board, I recommend starting with Know Who You Are as your foundation.

Two Available Workshops

1.

 Know Who You Are 
 $325 

Define your brand's core identity, values, and visual direction – the foundation that makes every other decision easier. Start here if you're rebranding or your current brand feels scattered.

2.

 Know What You Do 
 $325 

Clarify your unique value and how to communicate it so customers immediately understand why you're different (and worth the premium price.)

What happens next is up to you.

Once you complete the workshops, you'll have the strategic clarity you need to move forward. You can tackle your brand identity yourself, hire another designer to execute your vision, or work with me to bring it all to life with original design that communicates your unique value.

Either way, you'll stop reinventing the wheel with every brand decision.

Before You Build, Get Clear.

This article explains why clarity isn’t just a first step. It’s the strategy.

After about 75% through the workshop, I was able to sit down and just write my elevator pitch. I got up after I wrote that and celebrated because that was so huge - to be able to find the words to describe what I want to offer to someone else.

Hi, I’m Krista

Brand Strategist & Identity Designer for Outdoor & Wellness Founders

For the last 8 years, I've worked almost exclusively with outdoor and wellness brands, from cottage gear makers to trail running platforms to wellness practitioners.

I'm not just a branding specialist who happens to work with outdoor and wellness brands. I'm part of these communities. I backpack, I paddleboard, I meditate and bio hack. I'm an ultra/trail runner and a certified hammock napper. I care deeply about founders who are building businesses that align with their values instead of chasing venture capital and cheap manufacturing.

I built these workshops because too many talented founders were struggling to compete, not because their product wasn't good enough, but because their brand wasn't communicating their value.
