““My favourite part of the process was the incredible questions about who I was as a writer, what effect I wanted my writing to have, who my readers are, and how I want to help them. I’ll never forget it. The process was what I expected and so much more. I had full faith I would come away with incredible colours, fonts, and logos. What I didn’t expect was how it would change how I feel about my writing, my audience, and what I’m capable of.””

Fun fact: I do not know how to take a photo with a straight face! ⠀ ⠀ True Story: when I had this photoshoot with the amazing @dinosaurtoast, we honestly tried some of those super serious, posey, pouty photos that so many people seem to so effortlessly execute. I had always been jealous of people like my sister @arnettmeg for being able to stare into the camera like such a badass, so I really wanted to be able to do it too! They just look SO cool!⠀ ⠀ I promise you I really did try, but every time I just ended up in a fit of the giggles and it was a hilarious waste of Ash's time. (I hope she thinks so too!) I wish you could've seen me, I was a disaster! 🙈⠀ ⠀ The thing is, that's just not me. Of course, when it comes to business and branding, I'm super serious about getting the work done and getting badass results, but the process, the relationship, and the experience are far from it. ⠀ ⠀ I'm a smiley, happy gal who loves a good giggle over a hot cuppa or an ice-cold margarita! I'm all about building relationships, getting to know people, giving as much value as possible, building amazing, effective brands, and having a heck of a good time along the way. ⠀ ⠀ If you want to work with a serious businessman, or can't handle the LOLs, I hear ya, and I'll happily recommend other branding peeps who might be for you. But if you're here for a fun time while we create a kickass brand together, I'm your gal! 😂
