Christina Markle DeCoudres is a career and leadership coach based in Long Beach, CA, with 15 years of experience across Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits. Known for blending empathy with practical strategy, she helps clients navigate career transitions, build businesses, develop confidence, and grow on their own terms. As her practice grew, her brand needed to grow with it.

Christina had built her brand herself when she was starting out, and it served her well. But as her practice evolved, so did what she needed from it. She was ready to invest in something that could hold the full weight of her story, her credibility, and her vision for where she was headed. The creative direction drew on her Guatemalan heritage, taking inspiration from the intricate sawdust carpets and embroidery traditions of Guatemala for the color palette and pattern work, and building out her existing Greenhouse Circle concept into a full brand narrative rooted in the metaphor of growth and gardening.
-
Christina now has a cohesive brand system that tells her full story, from strategy and messaging through to visual identity, copywriting, and website. The tagline "Grow in Full Color," the new logo, the custom icons, and the copy throughout the site all extend a single, intentional narrative that feels as specific as her work.
Within one month of launch she saw 1.5x more clients and, in her own words, felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
“Now I have the ability to reference pages of my website with clarity on prospective client calls, pride to share my website, logos I can use in all formats for social media and email marketing, and a clear story I can tell that is authentic to me. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders."
