INQUIRE FOR ALL THE POSSIBILITIES

Creativity shines brightest in the moments that demand solutions.

So, let’s get creative! Branding is a professional and personal investment, it provides assurance, builds trust, and sets you up to have a lasting, successful business. It is more than just a logo.

Our goal at ESM Creative is to help you build a system and provide support so that at the end of this you feel confident in your business! We create quotes for each project that are perfectly tailored to your needs + goals. Reach out to set up our discovery call.

Why ESM Creative?
  • "Emma is my dream designer. Her work is fun, fresh, and creative. Working with her to create my podcast art was wonderful. She made the whole process so easy. I can't wait to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend hiring her if you're looking to have something beautiful made."

    Gwendolyn Kensinger

  • "Emma was so great to work with! We had a vision for a couple of designs and she was able to bring them to life with her amazing illustration skills."

    Reading Partners

    Ladies In Law

FREQUENTLY asked questions

  • Depending on your project, the timing can be anywhere between 4 and 10 weeks. We can discuss this on our initial call and we will always do our best to fit in with your deadlines.

  • We discuss this all on our initial call. Just come to the call with you and your idea! In the initial phase, we will collect some things, including a brand questionnaire, a Pinterest inspiration board, and compiling your website content. Which includes copy, photography, and CTAs for each page.

  • While incredibly important, a logo is really just one piece of the larger whole that is "branding". A brand is everything from the name of your company, to the logo, to the colors and fonts ... it's a whole mood! So, trust us when we say that a logo alone does not a brand make.

  • Due to the unique nature of each brand, prices vary. ESM offers custom packages based on the specific goals of the client. Before your custom proposal is created, we'll discuss your budget and flexible options for payment.

  • Yes, we do offer payment plans for any project. We can discuss this on our initial call!

  • You will mainly be working with our founder Emma, but depending on your project, you will also work with the lovely ESM team! Check them out here.

  • Very! We love to customize services to fit your needs. We have package outlines that have suggested collateral, number of items, etc - but this can all be customized to fit your specific project goals.

  • After filling out the client intake form, you'll hear back within 48 business hours (M—F) to schedule a call & prepare your custom proposal. From there, you’ll receive the design contract to review & sign as well as the project deposit invoice to secure your slot in the studio calendar.
