When Danielle first reached out, she thought she simply needed help refining her home staging brand. What she didn’t expect was that our collaboration would lead her to something completely new; a lifestyle design brand that was better aligned with her passion of helping people and the type of design work she loved to do.
At The Social Stager, I help home stagers and interior design professionals create brands that are authentic and deeply rooted in the heart of how they love to help their clients. Because when your brand feels aligned to your passion, everything else — from your content to your confidence — starts to fall into place.
Danielle’s branding experience shows that taking the time to define what you truly want to be known for can transform not just your visual brand identity but your overall company direction.
Discovering the Heart of Her Design Brand
When we began the brand development process, Danielle quickly realized that what she wanted wasn’t another staging company — it was something more holistic.
Her calm, grounded personality, combined with her “less is more” design philosophy, provided the foundation for her new brand. Using the tenets of Wabi-Sabi, a design approach that embraces simplicity and intentional living, we created a brand identity that reflected the heart of that philosophy. This became the inspiration behind her new brand name: House of Wabi.
Instead of focusing on making homes look beautiful, Danielle wanted to help clients create spaces that feel good — homes that support their well-being and reflect how they actually live. We tailored her brand essence and identity to attract her ideal clients — busy women and moms working from home — who want environments that bring ease and calm to everyday life.
That clarity changed everything. It’s the moment where a brand goes from surface-level to meaningful.
That moment — the realization that a brand can feel like you — happens in every project I work on. The branding process is always transformative. There’s always a moment when something clicks, when a client sees their work, values, and personality reflected to them, and it can change their entire brand identity.
That shift happens because we go beyond surface-level design. Together, we dig deep into the heart and soul of a brand — uncovering not just what it looks like, but what it stands for. And when that clarity takes shape, everything else follows.
As with other successful branding projects, Danielle’s transformation began with understanding what she wanted to be known for — and then aligning every element of her brand around that purpose.
Designing an Aligned Visual Identity
Once Danielle’s direction was clear, we began designing her brand identity. Together, we created a visual identity that embodied her minimalist style: warm neutral hues, natural textures, and refined typography.
Her new logo design was simple but distinctive. Every element — from color to layout — communicated calm minimalism and her warm design aesthetic.
In home staging and design, visuals are powerful. But branding goes beyond how something looks. It’s about how people feel when they experience your business. A strong brand identity doesn’t just look good — it shapes perception and builds trust.
This same intentional process is at the core of my brand development services. When every detail works together with purpose, your business naturally stands out.
Creating a Stunning Website for her Brand
Next came Danielle’s website — the digital home for her new lifestyle design brand.
From the beginning, the goal was clear: clean, modern, and minimal. The final design features generous white space, simple copy, and imagery that draws you in without distraction.
Every section of House of Wabi’s website was designed to feel intentional and uncluttered. Visitors instantly understand Danielle’s approach — thoughtful design that supports everyday well-being.
Because I believe that your website should not just look pretty, but truly embody your brand’s style and personality. This not only helps bring your brand to life but also ensures visitors get an immediate positive impression of your business and feel connected to it.
Bringing Her Lifestyle Staging Brand to Life on Social Media
Once the new brand and website were complete, we turned to social media to carry that same feeling through every post and caption.
Using my Connect + Convert Method — the same framework taught inside The Social Stager Club — we built a strategic content plan that has helped Danielle grow brand awareness and educate her audience about lifestyle design.
We created branded templates and a consistent posting system that made it easy to show up online with confidence.
Her audience connected with her simple room resets, design tips, and personal posts that shared the story behind her brand.
You can see her cohesive visual identity in action on House of Wabi’s Instagram. Every post reflects her brand’s tone — calm, balanced, and beautifully consistent.
Building a Brand That Inspires Confidence
For Danielle, this journey wasn’t just about a logo or a website. It was about building a lifestyle design brand that reflected the heart of her purpose and aligned with how she truly wanted to help people. The process helped her gain clarity about what that meant for her and gave her the confidence to make the shift from stager to lifestyle designer.
She went from unsure about her next step to launching a business that aligns with her purpose.
And for me, seeing that transformation — when a client recognizes who they’ve always been reflected in their brand — is the most rewarding part of what I do.
