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.

  • Share what you’re building in the project inquiry form

    • We connect for our first meeting

    • I send a proposal with timeline, deliverables, and expectations

    • Once approved and payment is issued, work begins!

    • We have clear touch points, defined revisions, and a final handoff, ensuring what is created is built to last, not just to launch.

  • 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 maker and brand designer. My design language is textures, patterns, and abstract design. I’m dedicated to building worlds that make people feel like they belong to something real.

This guides me in leadership rooms with established brands seeking refinement, to individual founders taking their first step towards greater visibility. Working together means we first identify what culture your brand cultivates and how to deepen the trust in what you’re offering. It's partnership, it's specific to you, and it outlives trends.

East Coast raised, creating everywhere. 
Currently engaging in new partnerships.
