Woke up feeling tired and a little uninspired. It’s rainy and dreary outside. I got soaking wet letting the dog out. Then I changed my perspective. ✨
Recent branding/ web design project I’m finishing up! A little different than the usual, and that’s why I love it. ⠀ ⠀ What questions do you all have about branding/ web design/ Squarespace/ logos/ my dog/ literally anything? I’ll be going live tomorrow to answer them all- so don’t hold back. Drop your questions in the comments :)
One of the NUMBER ONE questions I get asked is “How do you get all of these photos taken?!” Every time I upload one. So many people think I have a photographer on a retainer basis (or that I’m SUPER SUPER GOOD with a tripod). ⠀ ⠀ In all reality, all my photos are mostly from two sessions with two incredible photographers who are tagged. Susan is in Louisville and Danielle is here with me in Raleigh and they are both AMAZING (and you should follow them immediately!!)⠀ ⠀ Click the link in my bio to find out exactly how I use two sessions of work to give me content for MONTHS. ✨
Fun flyer design I got to create for Copia Green. ⠀ ⠀ Some of my favorite projects are creating flyers, brochures, Instagram content, podcast covers- you name it. Having these smaller projects lights me up and perfectly balances out the bigger projects on my plate, too. ⠀ ⠀ I’m currently taking new clients- on a retainer and month-to-month basis for digital marketing strategy and design work. ⠀ ⠀ How can I help your business look beautiful and grow going into 2019? ✨
Inspiration is everywhere. ✨
Today I’m working on creating my first ever vision board for 2019! Have you all created vision boards before? What are some of your biggest goals for the next year? Some of mine are: ⠀ ⠀ + Do more insta/Facebook lives + Enhance my client experience + Raise my prices ⠀ + Begin to ask for help when I need it ⠀ + Get more systems in place ⠀ + Work ON my business more, and IN it less ⠀ + Continue to network with like-minded women ⠀ + Get an office space ⠀ + Expand my monthly retainer services ⠀ + Travel out of the country more + Pick up a new hobby that keeps me active ⠀ ⠀ What are yours? And if you’ve made a vision board- DM me a pic. I would really love to see it. 💕
Having such a fun trip, saw one of our favorite authors, and eating allll the yummy food. ✨
Had to leave my spotted friend behind, but I am ALLLLL smiles this afternoon because I am road tripping to Asheville, NC to see @jensincero. Have you read her books? Do you plan on getting her new one? They literally have changed. my. life. ✨
One of the most important things I’ve learned in business: wellness is a business decision.⠀ ⠀ Today on my top three on my to-do list for the day, self-care is listed. ⠀ ⠀ I have a tendency to love my work and immerse myself in client work from the second I wake up until the second I fall asleep. Then I realized... I can’t fill other cups before I fill my own cup. ⠀ ⠀ It is a win-win for everyone. Now when I sit down in the mornings I’m focused, excited, well-rested, relaxed. I do my best work when I have had time to focus on MYSELF before responding to emails, inquiries, this and that. ⠀ ⠀ Self-care is not selfish. It is necessary. It is non-negotiable- no matter what that looks like to you. A weekend unplugged? Do it. A massage/ spa day? Do it. Having the babysitter watch your kid so you can clean the house? Do it. Sleeping for 16 hours? Do it. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, because nothing will work if you can’t.
Another little sneak peak at the most recent branding project I’ve wrapped up. 🌿 I am taking TWO more branding clients on at a discounted price before raising my prices in 2019, so if you believe in signs... consider this one 😉
Going into this week with a focus on celebrating the little things. ⠀ ⠀ If you’re only ever in go-mode and focusing on what you haven’t yet achieved, what’s on your incredibly long to-do list, and why you aren’t there yet- you will let so many incredible moments of success pass you by. ⠀ ⠀ Take five minutes today and look around you at what you have already created/ manifested for yourself. Look at how damn far you’ve come. Celebrate yourself today— your success, the fact that you went for it. ⠀ ⠀ As perfectionists, it is so easy to continue to go go go without taking a breath, so today I really challenge you to take a few minutes and do just that. ⠀ ⠀ And I wanna celebrate with you! Let me know in the comments one small (or really really big) thing you will promise to celebrate today. ⠀
It’s launch day- my favorite day. Couldn’t be happier with how this project turned out for @willowparkdesign. Thanks for trusting me to bring your ideas to life lady. 🌿
Recent logo I just finished that I am literally swooning over. Willow Park is an interior design firm in Louisville, KY. Couldn’t be happier with how this project all came together and turned out. ✨
I’m the girl at the bar analyzing the design of all of the bourbon labels. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do it everywhere I go- the grocery store, the mall, airports. Constantly looking at every label/ brand/ menu/ advertisement and thinking of the thought process and work behind it. Design just makes everything so beautiful. Anyone else weird like me? ✨
