// Let’s create something

Some things I am not good at: automotive body repair (but my sister is the best female auto repair tech in the country – no kidding), skiing (I tried once and was asked by staff to leave the mountain), singing (painfully bad), and multiple-choice quizzes. On the other hand, one of the things I am BEST at is curating a visual identity that suits you perfectly. I’ll help you create a brand that keeps folks coming back – because first impressions are important, but second and third impressions make things happen.

I’ve worked (joyfully!) with clients ranging from newbie bloggers to NBC Sports, but my passion is in collaborating with big-hearted small business owners who think outside the box. Sound like you? You’re probably an artist, coach, yogini, writer, or other savvy rebel on a path to change the world. In fact – maybe you wear so many hats that you’re not even sure what to call yourself yet. Don’t worry. I’m the gal that changes all that.

On this page, you’ll find an overview of my offerings and some info about what working together might be like. But this is not a one-size-fits-all garment. Please do take the time to look over my packages, but if you’re in search of something a little different, just shoot me an email and we’ll flesh out the details.

Not quite ready to renovate? How about we just jam for a bit?


// The (re)Brand Experience

3900 Not so long ago, I simply called this my custom website package. It’s that, to be sure, but it’s more of a business renovation. By launch, we’ll have refined your image, certainly, but we’ll also make sure your business is ready to tackle what’s next. And if you’re not sure what’s next? Don’t worry – that’s part of the process. You see, I’m a small business owner, too. I’ve been where you are — even if where you are is just in need of a facelift to show the world how far you’ve come.
