Qvin
As Qvin prepared to launch its revolutionary Q-Pad™, the women’s health technology startup needed a brand that could balance scientific credibility with a bold, female-forward perspective. Developed by co-founder Dr. Sara Naseri, the FDA-cleared Q-Pad collects menstrual blood for laboratory analysis, creating new possibilities for monitoring and detecting a range of health conditions. As Qvin expanded into a broader diagnostics and research platform, we refreshed the identity and website to support its growing work with researchers, healthcare providers, and global partners. The result transforms menstrual blood from a source of stigma into a powerful source of health information.

FROM WOMEN FOUNDERS
"I learned more about business in the Brand Building Foundations Course than 2 years of business classes!"
Lauren V., UCLA
"From day one, Erika demonstrated professional unparalleled dedication and creativity in crafting a unique brand identity for my business. She truly understood my vision and goals, leveraging her 20+ years of expertise to develop a brand guide that resonates with my target audience. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to establish a strong and memorable brand presence from your website to social media to business cards and more… Erika, thank you for making SMK & Co’s brand exactly what envisioned."
Sheena Keo, SMK & Co.
"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've finished the course, and wow! Thank you for doing what you do! I feel so much more confident going into this phase of my life where I want to build a brand/true business for myself as a writer. It's like you've helped to lift a fog, and now I can see more clearly the steps I need to take next as well as the goals I'd like to achieve as I progress. When I find myself stressing about the state of entrepreneurship, business, or gender inequality in our world today, I'm comforted knowing people like you are working to create a healthier, happier, and fairer environment in which women can thrive and achieve their dreams."
Adrianna N., Phoenix AZ
"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
"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
"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 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!"
