Molly is an excellent communicator; she is welcoming and easy to talk to about even the fuzziest ideas. The process of working with her not only gave me wonderful visual elements for my brands, but also helped me see what it is I do with more clarity. If you want to work with a designer who will truly see and hear you and help others do the same, I recommend Molly without hesitation.

CO-FOUNDER, HER HEALTH COLLECTIVE
Crissy Fishbane
Molly at Parson Lane is wonderful! Our website design ended up being a massive undertaking, way more than we initially envisioned. Molly was patient every step of the way and over-delivered on everything she promised. She worked hard to create a site and branding that fit with our vision. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and her knowledge in the area of design is extensive. We cannot recommend Molly at Parson Lane highly enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
Brand design focuses on creating a visual identity, including logos, color palette, typography, and general aesthetics, while brand identity also involves the overall plan to position and differentiate the brand. Design is about the visual elements, while identity encompasses the broader goals, messaging, and tactics to achieve a distinctive and successful brand presence. Our brand design package is a good fit for businesses who already have a strong brand identity and strategy, but need the visual elements to match. If you're fuzzy on your brand messaging (things like mission, vision, values, unique selling proposition, ideal client, etc), the brand identity package is for you!
Our brand identity package starts at $5,000. Additional options, like social media graphics, web design, copywriting, brand collateral, etc. are available for an additional fee.
The standard payment plan for any Parson Lane package includes a 50% non-refundable deposit at time of booking, with the remaining balance due at the end of the project. We're happy to offer additional payment plans as needed! Just be sure to inquire about additional payment options during your consultation call.
Most brand identity projects take 8-10 weeks to complete. Building a custom, strategy-led brand together will require honesty, engagement, and input from you! You’ll be asked to complete several questionnaires throughout the project, and to give timely feedback on the deliverables. If you’re feeling like you don’t have the bandwidth to devote 2-3 hours per week to this project, I would definitely recommend waiting to book until you have more time available. Trust me – taking the time to develop a strategic & thoughtful brand will be so worth it in the end.
Not to worry! Every deliverable in your package comes with up to 2 rounds of revisions, so if we don't nail it on the first pass, you'll have the opportunity to provide targeted feedback and we can make edits from there. We'll also have a 1:1 brand strategy session during your discovery phase to nail down the brand vibe you're looking for. During your brand strategy session, we'll present you with a mood board, so that we can discuss and agree on design direction before putting pen to paper. So, you'll have lots of chances to provide input and make sure that your brand encapsulates exactly what makes you, you!
