Rebranding as changing the brand and logo as its component is done in order to meet the new energies of the new era. Often these are internal impulses caused by new energy-information flows.

When you’re applying to jobs or reaching out to clients, a strong personal brand can help make you more memorable, showcase your style and tone of work, and convince people that you’re truly passionate about design outside of your 9-5 job.
