Brandine Strand
Strategic operator, problem solver and advisor for founder-led companies at inflection points.
KNOWN FOR:
I find overlooked opportunities that hold you back, increase your bottom line, and install fixes that last — revenue gains, cost savings, and systems that create real competitive advantage.
CORE FOCUS:
Strategic direction + clean scaling plan
Market + competitor analysis (identify gaps, close them permanently)
Systems architecture + operational leverage
AI strategy + implementation (automation that reduces labor, speeds execution and expands potential)
Profit-first growth (efficiency, margin, durable ROI)
David Nardone
Executive-level creative lead for brands that need their presentation to match their potential.

Turning scattered visuals into a cohesive premium system—so the brand looks top-tier everywhere it shows up. David brings taste and direction: he aligns stakeholders, manages execution, and delivers creative that holds up across web, retail, and trade.
CORE FOCUS:
Creative leadership + brand systems (standards, cohesion, consistency)
Packaging + visual identity (logo, typography, layout, product hierarchy)
Website + digital presentation (conversion-aware design, UX alignment)
Sales + trade assets (sell sheets, catalogs, banners, booth systems, signage)
Trade show strategy + execution support (layout, flow, messaging, presence)
Compliance-aware creative for regulated categories
Cross-channel production oversight (print readiness, vendors, timelines, QA)
Strategy Sets The Blueprint
Craft Brings It To Life
Architecure Meets Aesthetic
When you bring on both the Architect and the Artisan, you’re not “getting help.” You’re installing a competitive advantage.
Most brands try to scale while one side lags: the operation is messy, or the brand looks mid. Either one caps growth.
We can fix both—together—so scale holds and your market presence commands trust.
Architecture: Strategy, priorities, operating cadence, systems, automation, AI implementation, efficiency, margin, accountability
Aesthetic: Brand identity, packaging, website, print, sales collateral, trade show presence, banners/signage, catalogs/sell sheets—executed as one cohesive system
