When I was younger it was hard for me to stay connected to what I was working on. After starting my own business, my ways changed. All of a sudden, no detail was too small and I began to want to make everything my version of perfect. At first, I thought I was nit-picking. However, […]
As I sit to write this post, I can barely control my excitement. So I’ll just jump right in. Transform. Everyday I work with clients to transform their business. I work up plans, coach on social media strategies and begin the branding process. 10 of the 12 years I’ve been in business, I’ve done this […]
Have you ever scrolled through Facebook and come across a post like, “Contact me, make $1000/week from home all you need is a ____!” Only to find out you have to shell out some serious cash in order to take on this “opportunity.” I feel like lately I’ve seen scams like this ALL over the place.
Okay, lets chit-chat about that resume. It has a bad rep – it is your first impression to a future employer and it seems like your whole world is riding on one piece of paper – no sweat! You wouldn’t naturally think that there were rules about what to and not-to include on your resume, […]

It’s important in both situations to stay professional in your exchanges and pay attention […]
2019 is here, ready or not! It’s at this point each year that I begin to re-evaluate my businesses to see where they are headed and if it aligns with my vision of the future. Creating goals is necessary to expand your business and to make sure that it is headed in the direction you […]
**A little backstory** I stumbled into graphic design. A professor in college gave me a compliment and then an opportunity and I took it and ran. I originally wanted to go to school for music producing – but I took my first graphic course and I was easily swayed. It took me several years to […]
I cringe when I hear people tell me they could whip up a good logo in a couple of minutes. No, sir/ma’am it takes way longer than that. A lot goes into creating a logo, and sometimes clients don’t fully understand that. A clean and beautiful logo takes time and has a process…and here it […]
