Shayla Hall, brand stylist and strategist

I’ve always been a creative girl. My creative journey began when my childhood artwork was displayed at the local downtown library in my city. That passion continued to grow when I discovered Photoshop and digital art in high school, opening the door to a new way of bringing my ideas to life.

I developed my creative and strategic skills while earning my bachelor’s degree in Communications and my master’s degree in Fine Arts. Coursework in marketing, color theory, visual arts, digital design, and visual storytelling taught me how color, imagery, composition, and messaging shape the way audiences experience a brand.

That foundation inspired me to create Thee Branding Agency, my branding and design company dedicated to building polished, intentional, and memorable identities. For more than 12 years, I’ve helped over 100 brands find their look, define their voice, and show up with confidence through strategy, creative direction, campaign design, photoshoot planning, digital content, and launch.

Top Tier Hair Extensions

Top Tier was a rebrand for an existing hair company that was lacking visibility, consistency, and style. I created a stronger, more cohesive identity across the website, campaign graphics, marketing materials, and social presence—giving the brand a polished look designed to attract attention and remain recognizable.

Branding Guidelines

Research + visual systems

Strong branding guidelines create consistency while giving a brand room to grow. I spend time researching color theory, audience behavior, industry trends, competitors, and the emotional meaning behind visual choices. That research becomes a clear system for color, typography, imagery, tone, and application—helping every touchpoint feel intentional and recognizable.
