How illustration can help to get your brand message across.

You can't use photos if you are working with something sensitive, like dementia care.

Which is why Rachael Wonderlin from Dementia by Day is using illustrations.

 

In a couple of Zoom sessions Rachael explained to me what she is doing for her customers in her business. I sketched while she was describing her unique approach. Here you can read more about how I developed her illustrations from her Brand Storyboarding Sketch

And here is what Rachael says about the project:

I thought I knew how I worked with clients, but through Ingrid’s program, I actually learned a few things about myself I hadn’t even thought of previously!

I highly recommend bringing Ingrid on to help with your business!
