I want to explore my optionsFrom Our Founders
We started Vera
to protect the first spark.
We know the strange middle because we've spent our careers in it.
Between us, we've spent more than two decades building brands for global names and first-time founders. We've seen what happens when a clear vision passes through too many opinions, or gets dressed in a trend that was never its own. By the time it reaches the world, the part that mattered most can feel lost.
We started Vera to protect the first spark. We stay close enough to hear what you mean before you've found the words, and we keep listening as the idea takes shape. Sometimes the best part of the work surfaces in a passing message, a new question, or a turn none of us saw coming.
Be as involved as you'd like, or step back and let it take shape. We can't wait to see what you're building.
With you,Leia + Jay
Leadership
Directors behind
the vision.
Creative Director
Leia Mariano
Leia has spent more than two decades helping brands find their voice and bring it to life across hospitality, entertainment, consumer brands, and wellness. She loves getting to the heart of an idea, then finding the right words and visuals to make it feel unmistakably yours. At Vera, she leads creative direction with a thoughtful eye and a belief that every detail should earn its place.
Director of Strategy
Jay Mariano
Jay comes from a world of storytelling, games, and experience design, so he’s always thinking about how the pieces fit together. He asks the questions that help you see what makes your business different, who it’s for, and where it can go next. At Vera, he leads strategy, giving every creative decision a clear purpose and keeping the bigger picture in view.
The Vera Ethos
Meaningful work
deserves to be seen.
Our prescription for the work: protect what matters, find the clarity, and give it form.
Protect the original intent.
Keep the conviction that started it all at the center. Let it guide what you say, what you make, and how you grow.
See before you show.
Get clear on what you mean before deciding how it should look. A visual identity is stronger when it has something true to express.
Choose meaning over noise.
Give people something to recognize and return to. Build from your own point of view instead of the latest trend.
Build a system you can use.
Create a foundation your team can carry into every touchpoint. Make consistency easier as the work grows.
Make the invisible tangible.
Give the vision in your head a form others can understand, trust, and step into.

Making postpartum support feel as coveted as fashion.
A strategy, identity, and packaging system for postpartum supportwear that brings clinical credibility and considered apparel together.
Project scope
Market Research: Postpartum + Luxury Fashion · Brand Strategy · Identity · Voice + Messaging · 62-Page Brand Guidelines · UI System · Welcome Box Packaging · An editable template system for the team · Launched September 2026
The First Conversation
We love our brand. Can you help us see what’s missing?
After two years developing their product and identity, Embodie’s founders loved their brand’s direction but felt something was missing. They asked us to help it feel as polished and considered as their vision.
Their science-backed postpartum garment bridged clinical care and fashion. Medical branding felt too cold; fashion alone couldn’t convey the evidence behind it. They needed help finding Embodie’s place between them.
The Approach
Explore widely. Refine with intention.
We researched the postpartum and maternity market alongside luxury fashion, looking for the gaps between clinical authority and desirable apparel. We combined those findings with the founders’ desired look and feel to develop a wide range of creative directions.
We explored technology and performance, everyday maternal warmth, and aspirational athleticism. Each direction included logo and typography explorations, with the wordmark shaping the wider type system. The range gave the founders room to test unfamiliar possibilities alongside a direction close to the identity they had lived with for two years.
That exploration confirmed what they felt most connected to: the spirit of their original brand. We rebuilt the wordmark using a different typeface, refining it into a cleaner, more polished, scalable identity while preserving its familiar character.
The final direction is premium and structured, with a soft, approachable side. Imagery, color, typography, and tone of voice work together to balance scientific credibility with maternal warmth.
The color system
Charcoal · Brown · Beige · Linen · White / Gold + greens 10%
What We Delivered
Care in every detail.
We defined the mission, positioning, four strategic pillars, and six audience profiles, from new mothers to athletes and women in perimenopause. A founder story, elevator pitch, and word bank gave the team language centered on restoration rather than “bouncing back.”
- Postpartum, maternity & luxury fashion research
- Creative direction, logo exploration & identity refinement
- Brand foundation & positioning
- Messaging & voice framework
- Logo, color & typography systems
- Photography & digital direction
- Welcome box & printed pieces
- Business cards, social templates & email signature
- An editable template system for the team
- Co-branding system with Empower PT
The voice balances expert knowledge with personal care. The cocoon became its central idea: quiet protection through a period of change.
A fine italic wordmark and compact “em” emblem anchor the identity. Warm white, linen, and charcoal lead the palette, with gold used sparingly. Four typefaces have distinct roles, supported by contrast-tested pairings and photography direction centered on natural light and real bodies.
Brand guidelines
Every detail, brought together.
The brand guidelines bring Embodie’s strategy, identity, color, typography, voice, photography, and applications into one practical system for the team.
51 pages / A foundation to build on
The Outcome
Refined throughout.
The founders’ original conviction now has a more polished expression: a refined wordmark and a cohesive visual and verbal system that holds scientific authority and softness together.
We extended that foundation into a co-branded storyline, welcome packaging, interface design, motion, business cards, email signatures, and social templates. Editable templates give the team a consistent foundation for future work.

In Their Words
EmbodieLeia and Jay were amazing to work with! They helped us with everything from our branding and logo to our packaging design, social media templates, and brand guidelines. The entire process felt seamless and professional, and they truly went above and beyond for us.
They really took the time to understand our brand, our vision, and what we wanted everything to feel like. Somehow, they took all of the ideas in our heads and brought them to life even better than we imagined! They were creative, thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience so enjoyable.
We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you so much, Vera—we are so grateful for you!

Rebel Ninja
Giving Rebel Ninja a Brand Strategy That Scales
One clear brand. Three distinct ways in.
We turned Andrew’s ideas into a connected brand system for kids, teens, and parents, bringing strategy, naming, messaging, identity, and a digital world into one recognizable Rebel Ninja.
Project scope
Brand Strategy · Brand Architecture · Program Naming · Identity + Logo Suite · Voice, Messaging + Copywriting · Three-Channel YouTube Branding · 53-Page Brand Guidelines · Pixel Icon System · Podcast + Social Templates · Motion + Sound Direction · Website
The First Conversation
One brand. Three audiences. How do we make it all make sense?
Andrew came to us with a wealth of ideas and a need for structure. Kids were his main audience, parents were the buyers, and teenagers needed a way in too. The challenge was to organize those ideas so each group could immediately recognize what was for them.
The Approach
A strong brand. Three clear paths.
We brought Andrew’s ideas into one coherent framework, connecting strategy, audience positioning, brand architecture, naming, copywriting, and design so each audience could recognize its way into Rebel Ninja.
Architecture
Give every audience a place.
One recognizable master brand houses three sub-brands, each with a distinct role, name, color, and voice.
Recognition
Different paths. Shared identity.
Teal, purple, and pink make the audience clear at a glance. The Rebel Ninja identity holds the system together.
Program naming / Voice & messaging
The Unstoppable
Game Plan
We named Andrew’s coaching program to connect the promise of confidence with his game-based method. The name gives the program a distinct identity within the Rebel Ninja world.
We shaped the surrounding language to help families understand the offer, choose their path, and know where to begin.
In the real world
Teal leads.
Rebel Ninja Teal gives physical assets a bright, recognizable presence.
Inside the digital world
Midnight sets the scene.
In the app and website, Midnight Blue is the environment teal lives on: an immersive world to enter, play in, and explore.
The Color System
- Midnight Blue 50%
- Dark Blue 3%
- Bright Teal 35%
- Dark Teal 3%
- Rebel Yellow 3%
- Rebel Pink 3%
- Med Purple 3%
Website
One world. A path for everyone.
We carried the brand architecture into the website itself. Kids, teens, and parents enter through different pages, each shaped around what they need to understand, feel, and do next.
What We Delivered
One world. Three doors.
The master brand gives Rebel Ninja a strong, recognizable identity. Three audience-specific names and colors bring structure to the offer: teal for Rebel Ninja TV, pink for the Parent Series, and purple for Uncut. Each path feels distinct while belonging to the same brand.
The voice adapts too: playful encouragement for kids, warm guidance for parents, and direct language for teens. The shared conviction holds it together: “Confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build.”
One master brand
Kids / Rebel Ninja TV
Playful encouragement.
Confidence becomes approachable through games, challenges, and achievable wins.
“You’ve got this. Level up!”
Teens / Rebel Ninja Uncut

Rebel Ninja Parent Series · Podcast identity
Brand guidelines
A whole world, documented.
A 53-page guide brings the strategy, identity, audience architecture, voice, and visual system together, giving the team a foundation for everything they create next.
53 pages / One connected system
The Outcome
Built to play.
An 8-bit identity combines a pixel ninja icon, voxel wordmark, and flat logo variants. Midnight and Rebel Teal lead, with yellow and pink accents. Press Start 2P and Silkscreen provide arcade character; Consolas supports longer reading. Icons use a 16×16 grid, and photography captures real kids in motion.
Each channel received profile images, responsive banners, and thumbnail templates. A Figma podcast template and social formats extend the system. Stepped motion and a chiptune sting reinforce the identity, while the website gives each audience its own path, including missions, EXP, and an incoming call from Andrew.

In Their Words
Rebel NinjaTheir biggest problem is probably their perfectionism. They actually care about my mission and learned as much as they could what was so important to me. I've mostly been doing a lot of my creatives on my own on platforms like Canva but after I shared with them everything I was looking for, they took it to heights I didn't know was even possible. I could have never been able to imagine nor create everything they have done for the Rebel Ninja brand. I am ever so thankful and will shout from the rooftops about these guys. Thank you so much ❤️

Frontline Partners
Making Giving Feel Like Family
Making giving feel like family.
Frontline Partners wanted supporters to feel like family. We created a warm identity and a modular journal system that bring stories closer and give the team a consistent foundation for every new issue.
Project scope
Brand Identity · Logo Development · Brand Starter Guidelines · Pitch + Presentation Decks · Editorial Identity · The Frontline Journal Master Template · Modular Layout System · Template Guidelines
The First Conversation
The Vision
“We want the people who stand with the persecuted church to feel like family. Can you help us give that feeling an identity and a journal they’ll want to keep?”
The Approach
Made to feel human.
We started with what Frontline Partners refused to be: one more donate button.
Online giving has taught people to expect the look of a bank. It’s clean, efficient, and forgettable, with generosity reduced to a confirmation number. The alternative is often the opposite extreme, heavy with urgency and light on dignity. Sterile or sensational, rarely human.
So we reached for the tactile over the techy: textures you could almost touch, marks that look made by hand, and a brand that feels less like a platform and more like a letter from someone you love.
What We Delivered
A mark with meaning.
Frontline Partners now looks like what it is, a family, not a fund.
The identity began with the logo. We explored how a mark could carry warmth, witness, and the feeling of something passed hand to hand. The family-tree-inspired stamp held family, lineage, connection, and permanence in one mark. Paired with the literary wordmark and grounded color system, it gave the team an identity that feels personal without becoming institutional, with starter guidelines to carry it from day one.
The Color System
The Outcome
A journal built for connection.
Then we gave that identity a place to tell its stories. The Frontline Journal is a quarterly publication built entirely on the brand we’d made. Cormorant Garamond gives headlines their gravity. Crimson Text holds the testimonies and the prayers, the words meant to be read slowly. A handwritten face appears only when a human voice needs to break through the page. The cover gives GCR and Frontline Partners each their rightful place.
And we made it theirs to keep. Beneath every spread sits a modular system of parent pages, so the team can choose a layout rather than design one. A visual layout menu shows every option at a glance. A guidelines document walks through building a new issue, step by step. We delivered it clean and imageless, a frame waiting for the next story, with one extra cover they didn’t ask for, because someday they’ll need it.
It’s a brand that reminds every supporter they aren’t just sending something. They’re part of someone’s family.

A few things you might be wondering
Let’s make it clearer.
Do we need strategy if we already have a logo?
A logo identifies your business, but it cannot answer every question about your audience, positioning, or offer. We can build on what is working and identify the strategic gaps before recommending changes.
Can you organize multiple programs or audiences?
Yes. Brand architecture helps clarify how your offers and audiences fit together. Rebel Ninja shows how one brand can create distinct entry points for kids, teens, and parents.
What happens after the strategy?
The strategy can guide identity, messaging, website, and collateral work. We will recommend the partnership and sequence that fit the next stage of your business.

Can you refine our current identity?
Yes. We assess what still feels true, what is holding the brand back, and what needs to change. Embodie is an example of preserving a founder’s original conviction while refining its expression.
Is this only logo design?
The logo is one part of the identity. We consider the wider visual system and how it works in real applications; the specific deliverables are agreed in your project scope.
Can our team use the identity afterward?
We create guidelines and, where included in the scope, editable templates to help your team apply the brand consistently. Ongoing creative partnership is available when you need continued design support.

- 01
Map the journey

- 02

Content and design develop together so the site communicates with clarity and feels cohesive.
- 03
Prepare for real use
We work through the agreed build, responsive layouts, and launch details before the site goes live.
A few things you might be wondering
Let’s make it clearer.
Do we need a brand identity first?
A clear identity and message make website decisions stronger. If those foundations need work, we can address them within a broader partnership before or alongside the website.
Do you handle website development?
We can include website development within an agreed scope. The platform, functionality, integrations, and ongoing needs determine the right approach.
Will a new website guarantee more traffic?
No. Clear structure and useful content support discoverability, but search performance also depends on competition, authority, technical health, and ongoing work. We define the website’s role and expectations together.

What becomes possible
The details become part of the story.

A few things you might be wondering
Let’s make it clearer.
Can you work with our existing brand?
Yes. We can extend an established identity into new applications. If the current system has gaps, we will identify those before deciding how to approach the work.
Are printing and manufacturing included?
Production costs and supplier responsibilities are confirmed separately in your agreement. We clarify artwork, specifications, and coordination needs before the project begins.
Can you design recurring publications?
Yes. We can create the initial editorial system and discuss ongoing creative partnership for future issues, campaigns, or collateral.

A few things you might be wondering
Let’s make it clearer.
Do we need to have built our brand with Vera?
No. We can begin by reviewing an existing identity and its guidelines to understand what needs to remain consistent and where additional direction may be useful.
Is this unlimited design?
No. Deliverables, capacity, timing, and revisions are defined in the agreement. A clear scope helps us give the work the attention it deserves.
Can we start with a single project?
Yes. We can discuss the immediate need first and whether a project or ongoing arrangement is the better fit. You do not need to choose the structure before we have spoken.
