You have big goals. We’re here to help you reach them.
It’s time to show up as the brand you really are—authentic, impactful, and uniquely you. You’ve got the value, and we’re here to craft the vision. Let’s create a brand that connects with your audience in a way that feels authentic and trustworthy.
Strategic branding, but make it collaborative
At Merit & State, we believe the best ideas happen when we work together. Our process isn’t just about pretty designs or clever words—it’s about creating something that feels authentically you. By combining strategy with creativity, we make sure every detail reflects your unique personality and purpose, all while keeping the process as seamless as possible.
Because here’s the thing: 94% of people judge a website’s credibility based on its design. That means first impressions aren’t just important—they’re everything. Showing up in a way that resonates with your audience isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential.
With our collaborative approach, we bring design and messaging together to create meaningful connections that stick—turning casual visitors into loyal fans. And because no one knows your business better than you, we keep you involved every step of the way—ensuring the final result feels not just authentic but entirely you.
Our motto? Branding is more effective when your design and copy work together…

“I feel like I now have the professional and polished branding and online presence that allows me to build authority and pursue larger clients and bigger projects. Hire Sara and Megan and don’t look back!”
Absolutely thrilled at the work that Sara and Megan did! Working with them was phenomenal from start to finish - they are both incredibly talented, they care deeply about their work, and the two of them make such an incredible team. It was such an enjoyable process to work with them! What stuck out to me the most was how much they cared about understanding my business and my customer. They put themselves in my shoes, to understand my perspective as a business owner, but also put themselves in my customer’s shoes to understand the needs and problems of my customer. Working with them truly felt like a partnership because they worked very hard to understand my goals and my customers’ goals, and built an online presence that reflected that.
