Biiig shoutout to @ferncxandcrm.com and @thehellocode.com for talking this thru with me last night.

I always feel the pressure to show up online for my biz b/c “that’s just what you do” …but I’m realizing that it doesn’t have to be what you do. There are lots of other options!

From DIY candle brand to ON BRAND eco-friendly, low tox home fragrance brand.

This transformation happened with my full experience brand identity package, the Identity Innovator.

I have immediate openings if you or someone you know could use a strategy-led logo for their biz.

It’s the perfect day to enjoy the weather and read outside.

I’m finishing up The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau and going to get back into Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams

Saying your business name shouldn’t feel like wearing someone else’s shoes. (weird + ew 🤮)

When Niki shifted to Boki’s Kitchen, her brand finally felt like her favorite pair of shoes.

The right fit changed everything.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. You don’t have to know exactly what you need, or where to begin.

You just have to be willing to put your heart out there – & trust someone who can help you build the brand you’ve been envisioning (even if it feels a lil messy right now).

Visuals are only half the story when it comes to your brand. Check out this Identiy Innovator transformation 👇🏻

Amy went from in home bakery (2019) to brick and mortar storefront (2023) to dining room opening (2025).

Brand strategy impacted her (in the best way) every step of her journey.
