Your business has grown. Your brand hasn't caught up.
We fix that.

Vivid Thistle Studio builds strategic brand systems for established businesses that have outgrown whatever got them here, and need the outside to finally match the inside.

Not a logo shop. Not a template studio. A strategic partner who figures out what's actually true about your business — then builds a brand around that.

BRAND ESSENTIALS

IS VIVID THISTLE THE RIGHT FIT?

❌ You want someone to execute your vision, not develop one
❌ You're looking for quick fixes or a logo refresh
❌ You're bringing a committee to the process
❌ You're not ready to trust the process — or the person running it

We're probably not a fit if:

✅ Your brand no longer reflects the business you've actually built
✅ You're scaling, repositioning, or preparing for a major next move
✅ You want a site or brand that works as hard as you do
✅ You know what you don't know — and you hire accordingly

This transformation is for you if:

I'D RATHER BE RICKROLLEDTHIS IS DEFINITELY FOR ME
✅ Your business has outgrown its original branding
✅ You’re planning to scale, franchise, or prepare for an exit
✅ You want a strategic partner — not just a designer
✅ You value clarity, consistency, and long-term brand equity
❌ You’re only looking for a logo
❌ You want quick fixes or endless revisions
❌ You know exactly what you want and just need someone to execute your vision
❌ You’re not emotionally ready to let go of your existing brand

Hi! I'M AMY

I have two psychology degrees, a background in performance, and an inconvenient habit of asking the questions your last designer never did 😜

I built Vivid Thistle Studio for business owners who are done tolerating a brand that no longer fits - and smart enough to know that fixing it isn't about aesthetics. It's about alignment. When the outside matches the inside, everything downstream gets easier. That's not a feeling. It's a business outcome.

Confidence is a byproduct of clarity.
My job is to get you there.

I’m a brand strategist and designer who specializes in helping established businesses make powerful branding moves — with intention.

My background blends design, performance, psychology (MS, BS), and years of working with business owners who are done “figuring it out as they go.” I believe confidence is a byproduct of clarity, and that a strong brand makes downstream decisions easier, fueling your business to new heights.

Vivid Thistle Studio was built for businesses ready to move forward — decisively.

The gap between your business and your brand isn't going to close itself.

You already know something's off. The marketing feels harder than it should. The pricing conversations don't go the way they should. The brand looks fine - it just doesn't feel like you anymore.

That gap has a name. And it's fixable.

The Brand ROI Reality Check tells you whether yours is still pulling its weight — or quietly costing you the right clients.

Most established businesses are running on a brand built for an earlier version of themselves.
