Visual branding crafted strategically creates an emotional connection with your audience causing them to crave knowing more of your story, and to choose and trust you over your competition.

Jaime is cerebral, artistic, detail-oriented and her design work is always on point, current, and relevant to our market. She consistently delivers on schedule a marketable strategy and a beautiful design that resonates with our community and customers. The success we have experienced is a direct result of our partnership with Studio Aiuto. Beyond this, Jaime is lovely. She has so much passion and integrity, and works harmoniously with us, meeting us where we are with each project with kindness, patience and curiosity. It is an absolute joy to know her.”

—Stacy Shuman, Well Scent

“Working with Jaime proved to be a valuable investment. She was able to synthesize the business concepts we were proposing in a very visually flattering and easy to read manner. It was money well spent as we raised our first investment fund and generated interest with both investors and founders alike. It’s her ability to combine a business narrative with visual cues that is a rarity among designers.”

—Douglas Raggio, Gastronome Ventures
