Connecting the art of BRANDING and the science of MARKETING with the wisdom of MINDFULNESS

Just as a flower needs the right elements to grow, so does your brand. At In My Element Studio, we offer Branding, Marketing and Design for wellness start-ups and mindful entrepreneurs.

CHOOSE YOUR ELEMENT

  • From ideas → to strategy

    You feel the pull to start something meaningful. Maybe you’ve been sitting with ideas for a while. A name. A feeling. A mission. But when it comes to actually building your brand… you don’t know where to start.

    You might feel overwhelmed by all the ideas, unsure how to bring them together. You want a clear direction, a foundation to grow from, and confidence that your brand will stand out.

    That’s where EARTH comes in. Like the soil that holds and nurtures a seed, this is the space where your brand begins to take shape with a BRAND STRATEGY.

    Together, we’ll define your purpose, values, voice, audience, and positioning, so you can move forward with intention.

  • From strategy → to creation

    You’ve planted the seed. Now it’s time for it to take shape, to become something people can see, feel, and connect with.

    You’re ready to build a brand that looks as aligned and intentional as it feels. But how do you turn your strategy into a visual identity that captures your essence and speaks to the people you want to serve?

    That’s where WATER comes in. Like a flowing stream, this is the space where your brand begins to move, feel, and flow. Where creativity meets emotions.

    From your logo and colors to tone of voice and storytelling — together, we’ll shape a BRAND IDENTITY + STORY that feels true to you: expressive, intentional, and ready to be seen.

  • From creation → to visibility

    You’ve built your foundation and shaped your identity. Now you’re ready to show up and be seen. You want a website that reflects the heart of your brand and works as a tool to grow your business.

    You know your work has value. You want people to find you, understand what you offer, and feel drawn to connect. But how do you turn your brand into a website that actually works?

    That is where FIRE comes in, like the first spark that brings warmth and light, this is the space where your brand becomes visible. Where design meets structure.

    From the elements of your brand strategy and identity, we’ll design and build a RESPONSIVE + SEO OPTIMIZED WEBSITE (Squarespace or WordPress) with intuitive design, search engine optimization, copywriting, and clear calls to action to help people discover, trust, and take the next step with you.

    START HERE →

  • From visibility → to connection

    Your brand is ready. Your website is visible. Now it’s time for your brand to connect to your audience — consistently, thoughtfully and strategically.

    You don’t want to just “post and hope.” You want to create content that feels natural, intentional, and fully aligned with your brand. Content that sparks curiosity, builds trust, and deepens connection.

    That’s where AIR comes in. Like a fresh breath of air this is the space where your brand begins to resonate, flow and connect with your audience.

    Together, we’ll create a CONTENT MARKETING TOOLKIT — a clear strategy, Instagram and newsletter templates, a content calendar, and lead magnets to grow your email list, helping you attract the right people and stay connected effortlessly.

  • From lost → to reconnection

    You’ve built your brand strategy, shaped your identity, launched your website and content, but something is not working. Maybe you’re generating leads, but they don’t buy. Or they buy, but don’t come back.

    SPACE is where we take a step back and see your brand from above. We explore your full customer journey, reconnect the dots that have been lost, and create fresh marketing ideas and campaigns that strengthen your brand story and deepen connection.

    With a focused CREATIVE MARKETING CONSULT, we will help you reconnect, realign and create fresh ideas to expand your brand.

About

Hello, I’m Patricia Louise Smit, also known as Patty.

Ever since I was young, I’ve loved seeing the magical spark in someone’s eyes when they are doing what they truly love. Those moments when your heart is full, your mind is calm, and everything flows naturally — as if it’s exactly what you were meant to do. I feel that same spark every time I bring a brand to life, and it’s this sense of being “in my element” that inspired me to create this studio.

For over a decade, I’ve worked as a creative marketer and brand strategist in the health and wellness industries. In founding this studio, I’m committed to helping mindful entrepreneurs tap into that same spark, growing their brand in a way that feels genuine, deeply connected, and true to who they are.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for the elements of nature. Each element carries unique qualities that I use as a guiding framework for growth. Step by step, we build a foundation (Earth), shape identity (Water), ignite visibility (Fire), create connection (Air), and nurture growth (Space).

Welcome to IN MY ELEMENT STUDIO.
