Michele Sawyer
Creative Strategist, Sawyer Design Vision
New York City

Great brands are born of great passion. Great strategic design captures the essence of that passion. Assembling a team of world-class creatives driven by finding the most eloquent solutions is why SDV brands constantly break records, stand the test of time, and are continually found on beauty counters around the globe.

Founder and Creative Strategist Michele Sawyer, in collaboration with Strategic Storyteller Erin Harrell, bring together decades of experience working with some of the world’s most iconic beauty brands and indie startups.

“Holding the space, (through whatever means necessary), until a founder has their very first heartfelt connection with their brand, is what we call ‘The Brand Moment.’ When those thousands of big and small pieces that we’ve milled over for what seems forever finally dovetail, the brand pops. And it’s here, in this moment, we witness the founder experiences quite a shift. A form of transcendence we think. It’s like the sum total of the entire project bubbles up to the surface. The long hours, their hard work, the overwhelm and obligatory flashes of self-doubt become (in a heartbeat) nothing but absolute certainty. Their heart opens, there’s a tear, and they become so poised for a few short seconds. But a few seconds is all it takes to feel the joy of knowing… a truly authentic brand… just came to life!

…Now, let’s get to work!”
Michele
