Meet june

I’m June. A Creative, Strategic, and Structured mind

MEET THE FOUNDER

Seeking authenticity and a sense of freedom, I’ve embarked on my biggest journey yet. I founded the Brand by June concept in the early months of 2023, and have worked freelance ever since.

I have worked with startups, scaleups and grownups for several years to help them build and grow their brand and business. With trained facilitation skills and attention to how details make a whole, I work together with founders of small, medium and big businesses to create brands to develop and maintain a clear and authentic brand that will stand the test of time.
