THE BRAND
DOSSIER
Design tapas for independent creatives and self-starters.
LAUNCH ED ON THE SUMMER SOLSTICE 2025
SUMMER RELEASE
What even is all this?
It’s definitely not another course or masterclass you’ll never finish.
The Brand Dossier is a collection of limited edition, focused offerings and tools for self-starters, artists and small organizations.
It’s a system created by me, 👋 Carrie Ford Hilliker. I’m a designer who has been around all the blocks since the late 90s.
After working with hundreds of clients over the past 25 years, I wanted to create a series of offerings specifically to help people working solo (small teams, too).
Laser-focused, short timeframes, low out-of-pocket, gorgeous results.
The first three Brand Dossier offerings are below.
Spots are limited. These three won’t be available forever. Oh, and they’re all discounted for the rest of June to celebrate the big launch. Get to it.
Questions? Email me anytime.
THE SWEET SPOT
You’re ready for a one-week polish, not a full rebuild. Your website and socials work, but not at the level that you know they can.
OFFICE HOURS
Bring it all. For the person spinning their wheels. For a new perspective, tech questions, anything goes.
UNTIL SEPTEMBER
Ready to launch your new business or project this summer? This is six weeks of 1:1 guidance to get you to the finish line.
TO THE ONES FLYING SOLO
We artists and entrepreneurs are the ultimate multitaskers. We’re drawn to working independently because we enjoy - or need - the autonomy. But at some point we learn without an assist so much can fall by the wayside.
I know first hand that a little help, a clear roadmap, and accountability can work wonders.
Maybe you’re launching a business, a book, a body of work. A non-profit, a consulting practice, a restaurant. Maybe you can’t fully communicate it just yet.
Or maybe you’re years in and feel stalled or need to make big changes. Maybe you need a refresh, but don’t quite know where to begin, especially when it’s not within the budget.
I’ll help you shape your stories, sharpen your visuals, and anchor your brand with polished visuals, messaging, website and social. You’ll always have your hands in the project, but with expert guidance to keep you on track and on time. Your taste and instincts are spot on, I’m just here to help it all to line up.
This new venture is a blend of advising and execution. My goal and hope is for The Brand Dossier to be a trellis for the voice, visuals and vibe of your project or business.
I’ll be releasing new offerings as needed and based on your feedback. Weekly, monthly, seasonally. Like a living algorithm, I’ll follow your lead to create what you need.
Yes, I take requests.
I can’t wait to hear what you think.
