Unicorn Designer
Follow these seven steps to increase your visibility, credibility, and trustworthiness, and start positioning yourself as an expert in your field.
“When Covid hit in 2020, management consultants discouraged me from spending money on my business. I’m glad I didn’t listen to their advice.
Not only is Sara one of the most talented web designers on the planet, she’s patient, kind and most knowledgeable about branding strategies.
While a majority of businesses in my industry were losing money, my business income increased nearly 45% after my website was launched.
I highly recommend Sara to those who only hire the best!”

Founder & CEO, The Protocol School of Palm Beach
Aerin wanted a space for her personal brand, where clients could book and pay for private sessions with an automated system.
In other words, the website does all the admin work for her and the only thing she needs to do is show up to the session and do what she loves the most – help women connect with their bodies through movements.
With this new brand identity and website, she welcomes women to her clear, simple, and inviting feminine space.
“Working with Sara was an exceptional experience.
From the very first call, she was inquisitive, collaborative, and innovative in her approach to building a new, refreshing brand and website for my company.
She’s an exemplary professional and every step of the way exceeded my expectations.
More importantly, the comments from clients have been overwhelmingly positive!”

Being Energy’s goal was to create a modern, nature-inspired, and easy-to-navigate website, where anyone from any age and from any country could purchase their courses.
Now, their clients can easily sign up for live and on-demand courses.
Besides that, the website has an online store to sell the digital products they have to offer.
“Now I feel confident each time I need to design something.
I don’t have to worry to get it right because more than half of the work is done. That is saving me hours daily.
I loved the process that Sara created to help me understand the essence of my brand.
I have been recommending her since our first meeting because she has the skills, the patience, the intuition, and sensitivity to read the person she works with.
Sara is for me the best-kept secret in the design world now.”

With your approval, we will pick a time and put the website live.
You’ll have complete control over your website and I’ll train you on how to make changes!
Following approval of all designs for all pages, development will start. With code, animations, and a little bit of magic, I’ll bring the designs to life!
The website will be developed on WordPress, following the best SEO practices and fully responsive.
I’ll design the home layout first, which will feature your brand look and feel, colors, fonts, logo design, and overall brand aesthetic, with 2 rounds of revisions included.
After having the final home, I will work on applying the same aesthetic to all pages, with 2 rounds of revisions per page.
A positive experience keeps users loyal, so before designing each page, we will focus on defining the structure of the website and design layouts to ensure that your website visitors will have the most wonderful experience.
After all, what’s the benefit of having a website if users are not able to interact with it properly?
I will design 2 brand identity designs (logo, color palette, font combinations, and overall visual style) and you will choose your favorite concept having your brand’s vision and audience in mind.
After 2 rounds of revisions, I will create a brand style guide you can follow to make sure you keep all future marketing materials cohesive.
One of the most important things to me is that we’re all on the same page. It has to be crystal clear to me: who you are, what’s your business, and what’s your vision for your business.
I’ll send you a questionnaire and we’ll schedule a Discovery Call.
You’re tired of wasting hours creating marketing materials and questioning if what you are designing is at the level of the services you offer.
You feel it’s time to build a solid brand identity, so you have an esthetical line to follow and feel confident each time you need to design something for your business.
Let’s make sure your brand visuals are passing the right message to the right audience with a logo and brand identity that stand out and reflect the essence of your work.
You have been in business for a while and you feel it’s time to increase your revenue, grow your audience, and sell premium online services.
For that, you need to look professional, including a professional website, a professional social media presence, professional photographs and so much more.
Let’s spread some magic in your business and create a brand identity that makes you look premium and a website that sets you not only apart from the competition, but at the freaking top!
Congratulations! Being here means you’ve completed the first step – you’ve recognized you need the help of an expert to take your business to the next level.

What if I reviewed your brand and website and gave you a checklist of all the fixes you can implement straight away?

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to send me an email.
The first step is to schedule your Discovery Call, so I can find out more about your needs and confirm that we’re a good fit to work together.
We’ll discuss deliverables and timelines. After that, I’ll come up with a proposal that suits your needs and send it over for you to sign.
I’m often booked 1 to 3 months in advance depending on the season.
I only take a handful of projects per year, to ensure that each client receives the best possible experience.
Therefore, if you’re interested in working together, I would recommend booking your Discovery Call as soon as possible to reserve your spot on my calendar.
Branding projects take 4 – 5 weeks to complete, but if you decide to go for extra add ons, it might take longer.
When it comes to websites every case is different and the timeline will depend entirely on the scope of your project.
Typically, the Unicorn Designer Experience takes 3 – 5 months, depending on the scale and complexity of your website.
If you have a specific deadline that needs to be met, please let me know right away, and bear in mind that my calendar tends to get booked well in advance so I recommend getting in touch as soon as possible.
Every project is different. Everyone has different needs and goals, plus it will depend on how many bells and whistles you’d like to add.
That’s why I always like to jump on a Discovery Call first to get to know you and your business better.
After that, I’ll come up with a custom proposal that fits your specific needs.
Of course!
For a Branding Project, you can make a 50% deposit upon signing the proposal, to secure your slot and the remaining 50% upon completion of the project.
For the Unicorn Designer Experience, we can break it down into 4 payments of 25% to make the investment a little easier for you and keep the project moving in regular payments.
The first 25% deposit is required upon signing the proposal, to secure your slot.
The truth is many designers out there use pre-made website templates to develop your website, which can be great if you’re just starting out and need something fast and cheap.
However, if you’re not in a rush and you’re ready to make an investment, you can have a high-quality website, tailor-made just for you.
For that, you need a unicorn designer – a creative who can both design and develop an exclusive custom website for your business.
Since my websites are 100% custom-designed and created from the ground up based on your business goals, I use WordPress with Elementor as the website builder.
WordPress allows me to develop anything, now or in the future, from stores to membership websites.
Yes, of course! You’ll have complete control over your website and I’ll train you on how to make changes right after launch.
Nevertheless, I’ll always be here for you when you feel stuck or need to make some updates.
You can also sign up for a Maintenance Package at the end of the project, so you know there’s always someone taking care of your website.
Yes. You will get a PNG and editable PDF version of every logo, which you’ll be able to open in all design softwares.
Yes! I’m in Portugal but I’ve worked with clients across the world.
Thanks to Zoom, email, and social media I’ve created beautiful friendships with my clients, even when we have an ocean separating us.
Ask me all your questions in a one-on-one 60-min video chat with me.
We can talk everything business, from branding, websites, scaling, pricing your offers, increasing conversions, etc.
PS. Are you a fellow designer? Curious about how I reached my dream job at 24 years old? I can answer all your questions, from how to start a design business online to getting your dream clients.
