“Designing Your Personal Brand: More Than Just a Logo”

Let me be honest with you—I didn’t always get this right. I started my career as a product designer and then moved into concept development for new products at LEGO. Along the way, I focused on broadening my skills, diving into ideas and strategy. But here’s the thing: while my brand today is that of a concept and creative leader, I wish I had figured that out a lot sooner. I should’ve started developing my personal brand from the get-go. Lesson learned: it’s never too early to start owning your story.

Let’s be clear: designing your personal brand isn’t just about slapping a logo on a website and calling it a day. If you think that’s what branding is, you’re missing the point. Your personal brand is your reputation, your story, and how you make people feel when they interact with you. It’s what makes you stand out in a crowded world.

As Paul Rand, the genius behind the IBM logo, once said, “Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.” That’s exactly what your personal brand should be: an ambassador for who you are and what you stand for. It’s not just a logo or a catchy tagline—it’s how you show up in every interaction, from your online presence to your work to the way you communicate with others.

Your personal brand is your story, and it should be uniquely yours. It should showcase your values, your style, and your expertise. It’s how people recognize you, remember you, and trust you. And here’s the kicker—it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be real.

So, stop thinking your personal brand is just about a logo. Your brand is everything you do and say. It’s the message you’re putting out into the world every single day—whether you realize it or not. Build it thoughtfully, stay consistent, and make sure it reflects the best version of who you are.

Your personal brand isn’t just a logo. It’s you. Own it.
