Cynthia Lloyd

Founder + Brand Architect

As the founder of Brilliant Brands, Cynthia is a passionate and driven brand architect who cherishes the opportunity to collaborate with and empower business owners by providing the insights and tools they need to craft unforgettable brands.

From age 7, she has been fascinated by how major brands, from cereals to luxury cars, achieve worldwide recognition and excellence. This fascination has instilled in her a deep-rooted belief that well-built businesses have the power to spark profound emotional connections and scale to unimaginable heights. She has dedicated her extensive career to bringing these visions to life for her clients.

Cynthia studied Visual Communication at both UCLA and Otis College of Art & Design and is currently writing her first digital course on brand strategy called “Vision to Victory.”
