OH HEY! I'M SANNE!
–and this is just the beginning.
Hey, I’m Sanne—the founder of Up Your Brands! My love for design started as a simple hobby, playing around with colors, fonts, and layouts just for fun. But the more I dove in, the more I realized that design isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about storytelling, connection, and making brands unforgettable.
I’ve seen firsthand how the right branding and website can completely transform a business, helping it attract the right audience, build trust, and stand out in a crowded market. That’s why I started Up Your Brands—to take the stress of branding, design, and marketing off your plate so you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
If you’re ready for a brand and website that actually works—not just looks good—let’s make it happen!
'from passion to purpose'
I started designing and learning marketing in high school just for fun. But over time, I realized I could turn my passion into something bigger—helping businesses grow with great branding and strategy. Now, I do what I love while making an impact!
–the story of how it all started
from helping myself to helping businesses around me.
I’ve always had a thing for design and marketing—it started as a hobby back in high school, just me playing around with logos, websites, and social media strategies for fun. But the more I learned, the more I realized… this wasn’t just a hobby. It was something I could actually turn into a business.
Right after I graduated high school, during my gap semester, I decided to go all in. No more just “practicing”—I started taking on real projects, working with small businesses, and helping them build their brands online. My first-ever client? Me. I built my own brand from scratch, then helped a friend with theirs. From there, I designed a website for a local bakery, and that’s when I knew—I could really make a difference for small businesses.
Now, as a college student double majoring in Computer Science and Economics, I’m balancing business and school, but my mission stays the same: helping businesses stand out with stunning branding, strategic marketing, and high-converting websites.
It all started with passion, and now it’s a purpose. Ready to bring your brand to life?
designer by day, baker by night
(and a student in between!)
Anyway, I’m currently a freshman at Penn State University, double majoring in Computer Science and Economics with a minor in International Business. Sounds like a lot? Maybe—but I love the challenge!
I’ve been passionate about design and social media marketing since high school, teaching myself everything from branding to digital strategy. Now, I help businesses (like yours!) stand out online with stunning websites and strategic marketing.
Oh, and when I’m not designing? I’m probably baking. I run my own bakery, so I totally get what it’s like to build a brand from the ground up. Whether it’s a website or a batch of cookies, I believe in making things that people love.

Portfolio
–some of my absolute favorites–
favorite way to unwind
Baking up something sweet or getting lost in a sea of fonts and color palettes—because nothing is more relaxing than making things look just right.
go to comfort food
Anything with cream cheese and cinnamon! Give me a cheesecake or a warm cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting, and I’m instantly in my happy mood.
favorite drink
Not a coffee person, but give me a matcha latte with boba and cheese foam (or whipped cream), and I’m set for life.
current obsession
Still obsessing over Outer Banks since the pandemic—partly for the plot, mostly for Drew Starkey and Madelyn Cline (but let’s be real, the whole cast is iconic).
