5.0

“Artistic, professional and efficient. Kiln offers fantastic solutions for all your design needs. They did our website for us and we couldn’t be happier. We’ve had so much incredible feedback that our website is another thing that sets our business apart from the rest. Thank you!”

“Kiln has been absolutely fantastic with our business Maximum Solar, helping build the website and content creation. Their work has been nothing short of outstanding.”

“Goes above and beyond to understand your personal goals and how to get there, seeing fantastic results already thanks to Alex’s guidance. Highly recommended!”

“Professional, high quality work, great design eye, efficient and pleasant to deal with. 100% Recommend hiring Alex!”

“I’ve worked with Alex for over 18 months now. Her creative design and attention to detail are amazing and aesthetically beautiful. I have multiple businesses that I’ve moved across to her simply because she’s the best I’ve come across. She is extremely talented and efficient. It’s an absolute pleasure working with Alex.”

“It was a pleasure working with Alexandra on our new and existing business ideas. She interpreted our random thoughts and needs amazingly and came up with a plan that made sense to us. She was great at listening and incorporating what we wanted rather than pushing a pre made structure like most do. I highly recommend her if you want to grow your business in a way you can understand and still feel like you’re in control.”

“I was looking for someone who really could understand my idea and working with Alex was honestly a game changer. She got my vibe straight away and helped me build not just a beautiful website, but a brand that actually feels like me. Super creative, super chill, and seriously talented. Grazie Alex – you nailed it!”

“It was an absolute delight working with Kiln. They bring great passion and energy to what they do. Alex was attentive to our needs and helped us clarify exactly what we were after for our product design, which we then took to launch. I highly recommend working with her for anyone wanting to refine their business idea, and execute it to a high standard.”

“It’s been amazing to work with Alex, she has helped me to gain more clarity in the processes of my business and create a good workflow.”

“Oystercatchers NZ engaged Akexandra the Founder of Bloom Consulting for our brand identity, iconic oystercatcher images, including large illustrated digital landscapes. She created our website, presentation materials, and business cards, which stood out and told our unique story. Alexandra truly cared about, and understood our purpose and passion and was integral to Oystercatchers looking professional when we launched. We also engaged her design and layout silks for a number of our client's to develop their new business logos, promotional and exhibit materials and received excellent feedback.”

“Great consulting service! They really got what we needed and gave us useful advice that worked. Made a big difference for our business. Definitely worth it!”

“Alex is wonderful and great to deal with! Absolutely recommend.”

Diagnose Your Problem

STRATEGY

You don’t have a clear path to revenue.

You have ideas, features, and direction – but no commercial structure. You’re stuck in motion without real traction.

What your need:

To turn what you’ve built into a strategic system designed to sell.

So you’re not overwhelmed and guessing what works – you’re operating with intent and strategic action.

MESSAGE

People are seeing what you do but it isn’t landing. You’re describing what it does – not why it matters. It’s missing the personality and storytelling to move people enough to buy.

What you need:

To embed sales psychology into how you communicate.

So your value is understood instantly and acted on.

POSITIONING

Your product might be strong, but the right people either aren’t buying it or struggling to justify the investment. You either attract the wrong clients or undercharge the right ones.

What you need:

To align your offer with the level it should operate at.

So the right people recognise it – and are willing to pay for it.

PRESENCE

You’ve built something strong, but it doesn’t look or feel like it. Your brand, website, and experience aren’t feeling right so people hesitate, even when the product is good.

What you need:

To build a stunning presence that doesn’t just connect, but converts.

Where every touchpoint – brand, website, UX and messaging works together to drive action.

Most founders we talk to try to fix these separately or throw budget into doing more without direction or seeing results.

None of that works if the system underneath is misaligned.

That’s what we do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still haven’t answered your question?

Is this just a brand design service?

No. Kiln is a strategic rebuild of your business positioning, messaging, and brand system, design is just the output. Most clients come in thinking they need visuals. They leave with a brand and system that actually converts.

How is this different from other agencies or freelancers?

Most agencies execute what you ask for.

Kiln diagnoses what’s actually not working, stepping into the mind of your customer – and
rebuilds your brand around what will convert.

This avoids expensive, surface-level rebrands that may look good, but don’t perform.

What results can I expect?

● clearer positioning
● stronger conversion
● higher-quality leads
confidence in sales conversations

Alongside a high-performing brand that reflects your business and speaks directly to your ideal customer.

Clients typically experience immediate clarity in their messaging and offer, translating into
stronger conversions and better-fit clients.

Who is this for (and NOT for)?

This is for funded or established founders with traction who know something isn’t clicking – but
can’t pinpoint why. This is for you if you want to build the brand properly from the beginning, or
refresh to convert and land better. It’s not for early-stage businesses who are unclear or looking
for a quick logo or low-cost design.

What if I don’t know what’s wrong with my brand or why my brand or marketing isn’t converting?

That’s exactly why clients hire Kiln. Most founders can feel something isn’t working but can’t
articulate it. The process is designed to diagnose and solve that.

What can I expect to invest?

Clients typically invest at a level that reflects the depth of thinking, transformation, and long-term on their business.

We prioritise quality over quick outputs – bringing years of experience into building
high-converting brand systems that are designed to scale and align with the future vision of the
business, not just what’s needed right now.

What does the process look like?

Kiln follows a three-phase process:

ALIGN
We uncover what’s not working and define the strategic foundation.
Positioning, audience, offer, and clarity.

TRANSLATE
We turn that strategy into messaging and a brand system that communicates it
powerfully.

ACTIVATE
We apply the brand across key touchpoints so it performs in the real world, not just in theory.

How long does it take?

A full build typically takes 6–8 weeks, depending on scope and responsiveness.
A 4-week priority turnaround is available with an adjusted fee.
We also offer strategic 2 week sprints and one-day VIP workshops upon request.

Will this actually increase revenue?

Kiln is designed to directly impact how your brand attracts and converts.

While outcomes depend on your product and execution, clients consistently experience stronger alignment, clearer communication, and more effective conversion.

Can I just get the design without the strategy?

No.
Design without strategy is why most brands underperform.
The strategy defines the what, why, how, and who – ensuring your brand is built to connect,
convert, and scale. A brand that lands and converts and is built for the future vision of the
business will reverse engineer from the needs of the customer.

What do I need to have before starting?

You don’t need everything figured out.
You need:
● A solid product or service
● Some level of either traction or funding
● The awareness that something isn’t working as it should

What happens if I don’t do this?

You’ll likely continue investing in marketing, design, or growth without fixing the core issue — leading to inconsistent results, unclear positioning, a presence that doesn’t ‘feel right’ and unnecessary spend.

How do I know I won’t end up with another brand that doesn’t work?

Kiln always starts with alignment before executing.

We don’t design until we’ve either built a clear direction with you, or diagnosed what’s actually not working in your existing strategy and defined a clear, strategic foundation you feel confident
in.

This ensures what’s built isn’t based on guesswork or aesthetics alone, but on a direction that’s
considered, aligned, and designed to perform.

If that alignment isn’t reached early on, we don’t force the process forward.
