Dr. Andrea Matsumura, Sleep Goddess MD

When this sleep specialist launched her consulting practice, she needed a memorable brand that could build recognition quickly. We positioned her as the “Sleep Goddess MD,” then developed the logo, website, social identity, quiz, and supporting brand system around that distinctive idea. Her dusk-to-dawn palette, gradient backgrounds, and simplified scientific diagrams created a look that felt approachable, credible, and immediately recognizable. Since then, she has grown her Instagram audience from 400 to 40,000 followers, with a co-branded supplement and book on the way. With greater name recognition, we transitioned away from the Sleep Goddess title while retaining the visual equity and strategic foundation of the original brand.

FROM WOMEN FOUNDERS

"I’ve admired Erika and her work for YEARS and am now lucky enough to know her personally and work with her professionally. She is one of the most talented, creative, inspiring, and hard-working women."

Kat Tanita, With Love From Kat

"I came to Erika thinking maybe I needed a website, and that's it. But through the strategy sessions, branding, website and materials designs,  I realized I needed so much more. It wasn't just the pieces Erika created for me, it was having an ally who could help me through the process of starting something totally new on my own. I couldn't have done this without her helping me find my voice."

Dr. Andrea Matsumura, Sleep Physician

"Thanks to the retreat, I found my group of trusted people and a space I can rely on. Although it was daunting at first to spend an entire week with strangers I only had one Zoom call with, throughout the week we got closer and closer to one another, started forming real relationships, which led to amazing discussions about work, life, and everything in between. I got to witness people breaking out of their comfort zones, realizing their worth, and finding clarity with the help of everyone in the group, and that's something I wish I can experience over and over again! And now, I'm grateful to have a group of people I can go to for help and know that we care for and love one another as friends."

Haeun Park, Made at Dawn

"Working with Erika was an absolutely transformative experience, both personally and professionally. She took me through everything from getting clear on my brand mission, to identifying my brand personality and legacy. I learned a wide wealth of knowledge that has completely transformed how I view my business and has invigorated my passion and commitment to my greater WHY. Thank you Erika from the bottom of my heart!"

Alessandra Salituri, Citizen Atelier

"I’ve worked with Erika for over 10 years with three different companies and across 9 brands. She has an amazing intuitive understanding of how to design for different customer segments and across different industries that is really hard to find in other designers and brand consultants. She’s a joy to work with."

Tiffany Wong, Million Dollar Baby

"Erika’s extremely organized and meticulous approach to learning about us and our brand on a small to large scale has been a wonderful and organic experience. She really took the time to understand who we are on a personal and brand level. She never rushed the process but provided guidance, support and clarity when we needed it the most. We couldn’t be happier!"

Seda Bilginer & Amanda Sichon, Esas Beauty

"Erika took my dream and helped me turn in into reality! I could not have launched my brand without her. Everything from logo, brand voice, fonts, website design were all done in a collaborative, patient and supporting way. Erika knew how much presenting my brand to the world meant to me and it showed. I am forever grateful for having been introduced to her!"

Andrea Tello, Founder, mi|tu corazón

"Erika has an amazing ability to see the truth of who you are and reflect it back with clarity and real purpose. She helped me articulate and bring to life not just my business, but my values, philosophy, and the WHY behind the work. I couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance and presence in this process. What a gift, she is absolutely the best!"

Dr. Masi Reynolds, Masi Clinic
