As per usual, there’s been radio silence over here. Life has been … life. The new year has brought a lot our way: a very active, talkative toddler … amazing new clients … a new, healthier lifestyle for J and I … and some new adventures. One of my goals for 2016 was to share […]

Can you believe it’s 2016?! Man, oh man!! As we jump into the new year, I can’t help but reflect on the year behind me. Since starting my business in 2009, I feel like each year is exponentially better than the last (even when I think it’s not possible I could work with people who […]

It’s Fall, sure, but it’s also the start of the holiday season. It’s time for cozy nights on the couch with hot apple cider + spiced bourbon. Lots of […]

With all of the buzz around branding, I love to talk about what it is, and what it isn’t. As I’ve discussed before, branding is not your logo. Branding is everything to do with your business & client experience. This is everything! The most important part to focus on. With that said, when thinking of your overall […]

If you follow me over on Instagram, you might have seen my little hint at this big announcement. I am so excited to announce that I will now be offering my branding and identity services with an added perk: the amazing, stunning, beautiful, lettering of Lauren from A Fabulous Fete. This has been a long time […]
