Brand Strategy

I’m Prashant, a brand, communication, and business consultant. I help organizations clarify their message, understand how their customers interact with their brand, and strengthen every touchpoint to drive profitability. The best compliment I’ve received from a client in Syracuse NY is, “Prashant understands our business.” Now, I’d like to understand yours.

Before starting Small Ocean, I spent two decades in award-winning global design agencies serving worldwide clients like American Express, Burton Snowboards, Comcast, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Liberty Mutual, Raymour & Flanigan, State Street Global Advisors, Talbots, The Hartford, Walmart, Wiley and The Wall Street Journal. I also teach brand storytelling and am proud that my students are employed by leading design agencies as well as Google, Microsoft, Apple, LinkedIn and Wayfair.

I have two kids, enjoy the outdoors and live in Boston, Massachusetts.

Brand Design

I’m Michelle, a brand designer and strategist with a tailored approach to solving design and business challenges. I help organizations express who they are and connect deeply with the people they serve—creating brands that feel authentic, inspiring, and memorable. My goal is to design with purpose, ensuring every element reflects the heart of the brand and the story it tells. My collaborative approach ensures the end result feels true to the organization and resonates with its audience.

With international experience in brand management and marketing communications, I bring both creative insight and strategic thinking to every project. A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, I pair formal training with years of hands-on experience to craft brands that not only stand out but also stand for something.

I love traveling and live with my family in Lausanne, Switzerland.
