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 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

"Erika helped me determine my WHY, worked with me to develop a cohesive plan, got me to focus on my ideal customer; my vision grew from there and she created a design that was perfect for me and aligned with my goals."

Monica Shulman, Artist

"I went on this trip thinking it was a business trip with the hope of maybe making at least one friend, but what actually ended up happening was I met 9 lifelong friends that I happened to discuss business with. I will be forever grateful to Erika as she curated a group that included such diverse women whom all I could relate to in one way or another and I look forward to watching them all grow and succeed not only in business but their personal life. Anyone would be crazy NOT to attend something Erika puts together."

Sheena Keo, SMK & CO.

"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

"I learned more about business in the Brand Building Foundations Course than 2 years of business classes!"

Lauren V., UCLA

"The Brand Building Foundations course turned my business from HP to Apple. Not only did I gain clarity on my brand and purpose, I learned how I can visually and emotionally incorporate my purpose in my brand. Everything I had in my heart, I was able to find a place to showcase it through my entire brand. This was truly more than just a course — it was a guided experience that made me feel like I had a business partner going through this with me together. And that sense of support is something you cannot compare to anything else. Thank you so much Erika for creating such an amazing experience!"

Hae P., San Jose CA

“If you own a brand or are in charge of branding for a particular company, run don’t walk to Erika Brechtel. Nobody translates the look and feel of a brand digitally, better or more beautifully than she can."

Marisa Perry, Marisa Perry Atelier NYC

"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."
