Zach Stevens ●SaaSBranding+ Design
I help SaaS teams create steal their brand. Resulting in awesome, scalable design that users admire, founders love, and competitors envy.
steal a brand?
Stealing a brand embeds the founder's personality and story into their company. Taking the things they love and colliding them with their product. This leads to increased confidence, which leads to improved sales, marketing, and higher brand valuations.
Do these sound familiar?
We look like everyone else
Creating from scratch leads founders to the gradient abundant, blurry background, “SaaSthetic” that has become homogenized.
We feel personally disconnected from our brand
Aligning with your brand is crucial if you want to enjoy stewarding, promoting, and growing your business.
We look janky compared to our level of success
That Fiverr logo and website design have got you this far, but now it’s time to level up and play bigger.
Our marketing, product, and website look disjointed
A uniform aesthetic is one of the fastest ways to build trust with your users and increase the legitimacy of your brand.
We find ourselves chasing “trendy” designs
I don’t like “design trends” either, I even wrote a whole article about why they suck.
We have no idea where to start or how to build a brand… like… zero
Sounds like you’re in the right place then 🤘
how we punch those problems in the face
Instead of reinventing the wheel and spending hours looking at a blank canvas, we steal creative assets from the things you love and embed them into your brand.
01
Definition
By detailing your ideal user, your competitors, your story, and the things that inspire you, we will define your brand and position your company to authentically stand out. The best part, we steal creative ideas from the things you already love.
02
foundation
We will bring your brand to life by crafting the fundamental pieces of your design language (logo, colors, typefaces, and graphics) and create guidelines for using them. These are the building blocks of assets like your website, product, and marketing material.
03
Application
Armed with a kickass design language and new brand identity, we will apply it to your company’s assets. Deliverables vary, but generally include your website, product, social templates, and pitch decks.

I'm Zach
*only my mom calls me zachary
Since 2017, I’ve been a one-man design army, worked with a bunch of companies, and done a bunch of different design jobs. Now, I help SaaS companies create steal brands that founders love, users admire, and competitors envy. Here's how I'm different:
Run-of-the-Mill Freelancers
Take on too many clients, offer no strategic guidance, and get you generic work after countless hours of revision.
Me
I work with three clients at a time on projects that move the needle. Whether it’s reducing churn, increasing your valuation, or matching your brand to your level of success, I'm your dedicated Brand Thief.
Big Agencies
Also take on too many clients but with more cooks in the kitchen and landing at the same generic creative because “it’s what’s trendy.” Oh, they’re also more costly and slow.
Making you look legit
We'll make the core assets of your company uniform and awesome🤘
Brand Identity + Logo Design
Using Brand Thievery, we embed the things that inspire you into the visual language of your company. These serve as the fundamental building blocks that other assets will be made of (color, typography, and images).
Website Design + Webflow Development
No more waiting for a developer to build out that awesome website. Using a powerful combination of Figma and Webflow, we can get a fully functioning and branded website up in a matter of weeks. God bless the internet.
Product Design
What good is an awesome brand identity if it doesn’t get applied to your product? Not only will I make your product branded and eye-catching, but I will help you make something intuitive that turns your users into hardcore loyalists.
Brand Strategy + Design Consulting
If branding, positioning, design, and creative strategy make your head spin, put me in your corner. I’ll give you strategic, no-BS advice on effectively using design within your company and knockout those pesky worries circling your cranium.

Design Packages
Badass packages wrapped in pretty bows and transparent pricing. Subscriptions are available to clients after a Brand Lift or Brand Heist.

FAQs
Yes, you could, but you wouldn’t be here looking if that was the easy option 😉. Senior Designers are expensive (over $100,000 per year plus benefits) and you have to keep them busy to make it worthwhile.
Packages and subscriptions are less of an investment and offer you more flexibility.
One word: exclusivity.
Unlike other design subscriptions, my threshold is three clients max. This allows me to be fully invested in each project, solve bigger problems, and offer new ideas that move your business forward.
Also, I don’t have an aversion to creative workshops or meeting with my clients once a week. Partnership and innovation are built on those interactions.
Yes. They are delivered one-by-one.
No.
I'll phrase it like this: if I had two projects to choose from and one was a software brand, I'd pick that one.
But, I'm never going to turn away a good client or an opportunity to make a kickass brand 🤘
We work on a project until we are stoked and it accomplishes the goals we’ve assigned to it.
Give me a call and I’ll help you figure that out.
Fixed scope projects are billed 50% at start, 50% upon delivery. This excludes consultation engagements like the Brand Plan and 1-on-1 calls which are billed upfront.
Payment plans, lease agreements, and equity/profit sharing are also available for special cases.
Monthly subscriptions are billed at the beginning of every month. You can save some dough by locking in a quarterly or yearly payment.
Nope. I’ve been doing remote work since before we all wish we'd invested in Zoom’s stock.
