How to Build A Brand That Make People Feel
Attach emotional anchors.
Most people think branding is about fonts, colors, or a cute profile pic.
That only does half the work.
It’s about association.
If I say:
☕ Coffee
🌊 Lighthouse
🧡 Orange Heart
→ You’ll probably think of me.
Because I’ve slowly trained your brain to associate me to those symbols by constantly incorporating those within my content.
Let’s build that kind of pattern recognition for you too… together 👇🏽
1. ATTACH A COLOR TO YOUR NAME
→ Pick one and commit to it across images, banners, visuals, emojis. |  My Color Signature on X - 🧡 |
❥ Bonus tip: Avoid common palettes. Pick what feels like your vibe (something you like or resonate with - could be 🌸 ✨ 🥷🏼 🌊 - possibilities are endless).

2. USE SIGNATURE SYMBOLS
→ Stop rotating random emojis or bullet points.
→ Choose 2–3 unique ones and use them everywhere.
Example: → ✦ ☑ 🧡 ← These aren’t “cute.” They’re coded (by me, about me).
❥ Symbols = visual memory joggers.
3. KEEP YOUR CORE MESSAGE CONSTANT
→ Develop one stance.
Eg. “Be someone’s lighthouse in the dark”
→ Say your core message in 100 different ways aka 100 pieces of content.
→ Bring it to AI and say:
Rewrite this in 10 different ways. Use different content types like short form, long form, one liners. Also give me thread ideas and video scripts [insert idea]Ask: What do I want people to feel when they land on my page?
❥ Mine: creative self-expression, educational energy, emotional empowerment.
CLAIM YOUR SIGNATURE
→ Could be a phrase, object, aesthetic, metaphor, vibe.
Mine?
Lighthouses. Coffee. Cyborgs. AI. Dystopia. (Don’t ask.)
It makes everything I post feel like me because I embody my personality.
That’s how people recognize and remember.
