leading with cultural branding
BRANDS DESIGNED
FOR THE CULTURE
Our Method
Del Aku is a visual design studio that infuses culture into branding. Identity isn't just seen, it's felt, carried in the values, memory, and customs a brand holds. At Del Aku, rooted in the culture of your brand, we build a distinctive world. In our partnerships, identity and culture are not separate but united. We co-create brands for people to see themselves in.
The brand will make them pause. The culture is why they stay.

I work with founders, companies, and organizations across industries. I create, design, and elevate brand identities for work in:
Creative Industries & Nonprofit Development
Entrepreneurship & New Ventures
Brand Evolution & Revitalization
I'm drawn to work that makes an impact, tells a story, and pushes something forward.

For founders and organizations starting from zero. I build your visual identity, the system, and the assets you need to show up with intention.
-
Your brand exists but it's not quite landing. I come in, assess what's working, and rebuild or refine it into something that drives towards your desired outcome.
-
You have a brand. You need someone to help you use it well. I provide strategic direction on how to apply, extend, and show up consistently across your work.
-
A specific deliverable with a defined scope. Campaign design, brand identity, event creative design, presentation decks, or a specialized project that needs to be executed with care and purpose.

Meet The Founder
I'm a Brand Designer, passionate about instilling feelings through patterns and abstract design. I value making people feel like they belong to something real. This guides how I collaborate on brand systems and how I show up in leadership rooms building visual identity from the ground up. Working together means before a single visual choice gets made, we identify what your brand is actually in relationship to, and what you want it to say next. It's partnership, it's specific to you, and it outlives trends. East Coast raised, creating everywhere. Currently engaging in new partnerships.
