"A foundational identity"
Susan Silver is a passionate fitness professional with over 20 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate the changes in their bodies—whether due to age, medical conditions, or injuries. She has worked with a diverse range of clients facing challenges from mild arthritis and back pain to joint replacements and neurological disorders. After relocating to Durham, NC, Susan recognized it was the perfect time to rebrand her business, ensuring that the essence and experience of her brand aligned with her vision and resonated deeply with her ideal clients.
“Before this, I felt like a service professional without a clear identity. I was floundering, unsure what to do first. Having brand clarity gives me a foundational identity to rely on, which impacts everything else I do. It’s one of the greatest business decisions I ever made.”

"Elevated my brand"
As a service-based business, Lots of Luxe provides personal styling in a warm and inviting boutique atmosphere, beautifully crafted within Melrose’s home/studio. Having known Melrose for over 20 years, I understood the importance of infusing her brand with a sense of fun and a relatable personality, making it not just luxurious, but also welcoming and approachable.
Lots of Luxe embodies a stylish, luxe, and opulent identity. It is collaborative, service-oriented, and educational while remaining down-to-earth and helpful. The brand’s opulence and luxury are always inclusive.
"My relationship with Sue is truly a partnership. She was the first to help me recognize the importance of personal branding over the brands of the clothing companies I represent. The refreshed logo and website have significantly elevated my brand, perfectly aligning with the quality of the clothing I offer and the personalized service I provide to each client. Sue collaborates with me regularly on brand awareness projects, including social media strategies and weekly client emails. Her dedication to my business is exceptional; she genuinely cares about my success just as much as I do. I always know that I can count on her for guidance in marketing my services and attracting new clients."
