I know it's been awhile... Like a long while.​​​​​ I know it's been awhile... Like a long while.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So much life stuff has happened this past year. And the truth is, the last thing I've wanted to do was hop on here + post. The idea of content pillars, algorithms, videos, new features, etc all felt exhausting.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The past few months, I've focused on things that have brought me joy. I'm back in a ceramic studio, getting my hands dirty + creating things for fun. I started a veggie garden, and while the Texas summer killed almost everything, I'm hopeful for our fall crop. I've read so. many. books. I'm slowly adjusting to life in Austin, away from family + friends.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So while I'll never be the kinda girl that posts daily (shoutout to those of you that do!), I’ll try to show up here more often. 🖤
Happy New Year! 🍾 Happy New Year! 🍾

My husband got a new job, so last week we packed up and headed to our new home in Austin. Thankfully, my work can be done from anywhere with an internet connection, so now that we're (mostly) settled, it's business as usual.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're loving this city so far (minus the mosquitos) + are looking forward to exploring all that Austin has to offer.

Let’s dive into the color psychology around yellow Let’s dive into the color psychology around yellow!⁣

If you missed my previous posts, color psychology is the study of the emotions + associations our brains make with specific colors. ⁣

What are some words you think of when you think or see yellow? ⁣

🟡 happiness⁣
🟡 warmth⁣
🟡 cheer⁣
🟡 optimism⁣

Any of these ringing true? ⁣
I'm feeling so much relief + hope this morning. Th I'm feeling so much relief + hope this morning. There's been far too much hatred + division the past four years. I hope the next four we can work on coming together + creating real change.
What's the most important step in branding?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's the most important step in branding?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without question, it's the research + strategy stage. Before I even think about visuals, I send clients a Visual Brand Strategy questionnaire. Why? Because it allows me to take a deep dive into my client's industry, core values, goals, and target audience. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, why is this important? If I don't know who I'm talking to; if I don't have a clear picture about how to position the brand; if I don't understand the goals + values of my client's business; how can I make decisions on how the brand should visually look?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you're in the process of looking for a branding designer, make sure the designer takes the time to ask you the important questions and isn't just handing you something that looks pretty on the surface.
