Creating a physical "Family Brand Board" or collage helps families visualize their routines, fun activities, and shared dislikes. This process allows parents to frame difficult tasks like homework within the context of family values such as excellence or pride.

Trott explains that her work often functions as a form of counseling because the way people dress is deeply connected to their internal emotional state.

The process of a "personal brand day" involves showing clients a color wheel of approximately 40 shades tailored to their specific coloring.
