Digital Solutions Mentoring

Helping vision-focused business owners take strategic action to build and streamline their brand

Are you wearing all the hats in your business?

Over time, you may have added offerings that no longer fit in, felt burnt out from marketing or Frankenstein-ed your branding. Instead, you want your business to feel spacious, with the right strategies and systems for your next launch or rebrand.

Our mentoring services have been designed to help you cultivate clarity, streamline and re-align your brand so you can focus on the right things to move your business forwards.

About your sessions

here's three ways to get the most from our time together

Keeping an open mind

Staying curious, asking questions, and being actively engaged in solving the core challenges together are crucial for a successful session. These sessions are interactive in that I'm not going to tell you what to do. However, we're going to figure out the plan together. Please note mentoring may also include auditing and coaching to help you move forward.

Proactive action

The mentoring clients who had the most success from our time together are the ones who are proactive before, during, and after the sessions. They show up prepared, take their own notes, proactively add to their Engagement Plan (Google Docs), and go above and beyond to complete the agreed actions from the sessions.

Aligned strategic thinking

During 3 hours of mentoring, we can expect to work on one specific area of your business to build an aligned, strategic plan for it. This is typically the area of your business that may be holding you back from moving forward the most. If you require more support across other areas of business, we can chat further about working together after your Digital Mentoring program is completed.

Let's make your brand and mission impossible to ignore

I'm Jo (she/her). Packaging designer, aspiring ambivert & anti-dupe advocate. I’m also the founder of Jo ChunYan Design Studio.

My experience has shaped my approach to design, a place where intuition and strategy collide.

Think: functional, warm, humanist design that intentionally connects with your customer at every level in your brand world.
