Typically, I’d wrap up the year by sharing a “2024 Wrapped” post, showcasing all the logos and brands I’ve worked on. But this year? It’s been different. Very different. It’s been a year of introspection, rediscovery, and redefining what success looks like to me—not just as a business owner but as a person. Here are […]

1. Maximalism Is Everywhere Maximalism isn’t just for fashion and interior design anymore—it’s officially a website trend, too. On Showit sites, this means bigger, bolder headings, decorative fonts, vibrant color palettes, and larger body text. These elements work together to create a design that feels lively and exciting while still being accessible. It’s all about […]

When I set out to create a quiz for my business, I had big dreams for it to serve my clients as much as it served my growth goals. My clients are big dreamers—some of them are just starting out and unsure of their next steps, while others have been in business a while but […]

I’m a self taught designer, through and through. I’ve never taken a design course in my life. My degree is actually in photography, so everything I know about design is just the bits and pieces strung together that I’ve picked up over the past ten years. Sometimes I look back at the beginning stages of […]

In my business, I prioritize simplicity and enjoyment. I firmly believe in the “addition by subtraction” philosophy, always seeking ways to streamline processes, enhance client experiences, and save time and money for all of us.

When I started designing in 2012, I had never taken a design course in my life. I have a degree in photography and art history, so everything I know […]

Plot twist, I’ve never taken a design course in my life. I’ve spoken a few times on here about how I went to school for photography, not design. This is something I’m asked about often, so here’s a more detailed breakdown of how I became a branding and Showit website designer! From starving artist to […]

We design our websites exclusively with Showit 5, a drag-and-drop website builder made by and for photographers, designers, and creative entrepreneurs. Here’s why we love it so much: No Code. […]

Yep, I’ve been made fun of for being the quiet business owner. The one that doesn’t like a lot of attention and doesn’t like to speak in front of large groups of people. And do you know what? That’s FINE. It’s taken me a few years to fully embrace who I am as a entrepreneur, […]

This post is going to be short and sweet. It’s no surprise that I have trouble focusing and staying on track. I talked about it in this former post, Tackling Depression and Burnout As A Creative Entrepreneur. I especially struggle with tasks that require the creative part of my brain to be firing at all […]
