MH brand+design offers brand solutions and award-winning design wrapped in 20+ years of experience for mission-driven, healthcare and do-good clients.

MH brand+design is my studio. I’m Kathy Hallen, former ad agency creative director available remotely for consulting, fractional, freelance or contract assignments. My work is smart, human, and memorable—creating that “Ah-ha, they get me” shift in the people you’re trying to reach. Click on the case studies below for examples of my creative and strategic approach to problem-solving.

What I can do for you

I help businesses and companies get clear on who they are—and then show it, simply and effectively, through smart, strategic design. Whether you’re starting something new, cleaning up an existing brand, or getting ready for what’s next, I partner with you to create branding and marketing that feels intentional, cohesive, and built for real-world use. I work most often with startups, smaller companies (<100), and growing organizations in healthcare, medical, nonprofit, and mission-based. In these worlds, clarity and trust matter. A lot. My focus is on branding, logo design, marketing materials and systems that read quickly, work across platforms, and actually support what you’re trying to do—not just what looks good in a mockup.

I’m set up to support clients in flexible ways, including fractional, freelance, and contract work. That means you get senior-level graphic design and creative direction without taking on a full-time hire. And when a project needs more than design—copywriting, web development, strategy, or specialized marketing support—I bring in trusted partners to get the job done. I also collaborate with agencies and recruiters as experienced creative support when additional leadership or execution is needed.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced  partner who makes your job easier and is focused on helping your business, I’d love to talk.
