When we talk about getting your brand out there, most of the conversation tends to revolve around the same few places: your website, Instagram, maybe an email list if you’re feeling ambitious. But some of my favorite brand moments are actually the little physical things people get to interact with. A really good sticker. A […]

When my client Nicole and I started the brand strategy process, one thing became very clear: the heart of Love & Waves is feeling. Nicole’s brand is all about preserving emotion, movement, and memory as a wedding content creator.  The challenge? Translating that into a wedding brand that felt coastal, romantic, and modern — but […]

You did the thing. You used AI website copy tools to write your homepage, maybe even felt pretty good about it. And then you actually tried to build your website and something just felt… off.

On sunflowers, setbacks, and growing a little differently than you planned. Earlier this summer, I was going through something hard. I still am, in some ways. Maybe someday I’ll share more about it, but right now, I’m not ready to. What I can say is that it rocked my world a little bit, and for […]

Some brands start out functional. They do the job, they look clean, they check the boxes. But they don’t quite feel like the person behind them yet. That’s exactly where Clara was before we started working together on her makeup artist brand design. Faces by Clara had been building her bridal and beauty business in […]

When Hailey first reached out, the plan was pretty simple: refresh her existing branding and give her website a facelift. As we started talking, though, it became clear that there was a much bigger story to tell. Hailey creates custom and semi-custom wedding stationery, but what really stood out to me was how she talked […]
