For Organizations - Pixels & Pieces Design

You've covered the strategy. The financials. The pitch.

But what about the first impression?

The moment your cohort walks into a room, hands over a business card, or pulls up a website — a judgment has already been made. And if their brand doesn't reflect the quality of what they've built, that judgment is costing them deals they deserve to win.

The gap between a good pitch and a closed deal is often visual.

World-class products. Amateur brands. It's costing them.

You've watched talented entrepreneurs walk into trade shows, pitch rooms, and investor meetings with world-class products hidden behind brands that whisper "not ready yet." They have the skills. They have the offer. But their visual brand is working against them before they've said a word — and no amount of programming can fix a faulty first impression.

Most entrepreneur programs cover the business fundamentals — strategy, financing, market access. But visual brand credibility is consistently a gap that goes unfilled.

We bring the missing piece — professional brand support that gets your entrepreneurs results.

Here's how we help your cohort show up ready.

The right support at every stage of their journey.

Brand Vibe Check

An honest 30-point audit that identifies the visual gaps sabotaging your entrepreneur's credibility

Make It Club

A 6-week, done-with-you sprint where your cohort builds a professional brand system they'll be proud to show off.

Workshops

Hands-on workshops your entrepreneurs can apply immediately — no design experience required.

Brand Vibe Check

The fastest way to find out what's holding them back.

Your entrepreneurs are too close to their own business to see what investors, buyers, and trade show visitors see the moment they land on their page.

The Brand Vibe Check is a 30-point scored audit that gives them the honest truth — and a clear picture of exactly where to start.

* Delivered as a 10-minute Loom video and transcript
* Scored and actionable — no fluff, just the gaps
* Can be delivered individually or as part of a cohort intake process

Make It Club

Six weeks to a brand that can walk into any room.

The Make It Club is a structured, supported 6-week branding sprint designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to compete at the next level. It's not a course they'll abandon halfway through. It's not an agency retainer they can't afford. It's a done-with-you program that delivers a professional brand system — and the confidence to use it independently from day one.

What your cohort walks away with:

* A brand that signals credibility before they've said a word
* A brand kit & Canva-friendly deliverables they can apply independently
* A professional designer in their corner every step of the way

Workshops

Practical, hands-on brand training your cohort can use immediately.

Every workshop is designed to meet entrepreneurs where they are — no design background required, no jargon, no overwhelm. Just practical skills they can apply to their business the same day.

Essential Branding for Entrepreneurs- Learn the core building blocks of a strong brand — colour, font, shape, and style — and how to use them to convert strangers into customers.

Introduction to Canva- A beginner-friendly, click-along workshop that takes entrepreneurs from zero to confident in Canva in a single session.

Advanced Canva- An intermediate workshop focused on professional design principles — hierarchy, readability, and consistency — so entrepreneurs can create polished, on-brand assets on their own.

Workshops can be delivered in-person or virtually and are available as standalone sessions or as part of a broader programming series. Group rates available.

“Amy is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Her “there are no stupid questions” policy makes it a very safe and enjoyable environment to learn in. Thank you for a great class!“

“Amy puts a lot of effort into helping everyone succeed. She always found time to answer questions, give feedback, and guide us individually. I felt that she was genuinely invested in each person’s progress, not just teaching the material.”

“This was a spectacular course. I especially appreciated the structure, the Canva document, and the opportunities for one-on-one help. This course was my first in the Levelling it Up Program, and it set the bar incredibly high for all future courses! Thank you!”
