What if your brand strategy started with a tarot deck?
In this episode of Crystal Clarity, I’m inviting you into the origin story of one of my most unexpected creative tools: tarot. From a childhood cardboard deck to the creation of Madame Clarity—a digital oracle I designed for Paradox’s birthday—this is a journey through intuition, symbolism, archetypes, and the soul of branding.
I’m sharing how tarot has shaped:
- the way I understand human behavior
- the structure behind my brand consultation process
- and how I connect the dots between deep identity work and visual storytelling
This episode also explores: ✨ the surprising power of metaphor in messaging ✨ why asking the right questions matters more than having the answers ✨ and how to create experiences that make people feel seen on a soul level
Whether you’ve pulled cards for years or side-eye spirituality from afar, this episode is your invitation to embrace the unknown—and start seeing branding (and life) as the mystical, layered journey it really is.
Let’s make magic—on purpose.
