Maven Coffee Company. Craft roastery, elevated coffee experience, and of the most welcoming spaces.

This project was all about building a brand that matched the same level of detail and care that they bring day in and day out.

No matter the highs or the lows I look back it still blows my mind what I get to do for a living.

I get to play around on a computer all day and make pretty pictures some would say. Even my younger self perhaps.

But I get to do so much more

I am a story teller. A legacy builder. I create brands out of nothing but the words and expressions of people that may outlast the person themselves.

Photo Christmas circa 2002. Wore those slippers till my heels broke through.

Ill be the odd one out and admit as a creative I use AI. Does it replace the work that matters? Absolutely not. It's a tool I use to save time on the things I don't want to do so I can enjoy the work I do.

It does make things easier, but it still doesn't replace the things that matter. You still have to have a clear direction and strategy.

I may have only gained 2 new followers over the last 30-45 days, but I've also gotten out of my comfort zone, gotten in front of a camera, and have posted more consistently than I ever have. AI was the brand audit I needed to see where I needed to step up.

MoonShot Pizzeria started with a late night, a Starbucks, and “That’s Amore” stuck in my head. The brief wrote itself from there.

Handmade dough. Fresh-pulled cheese. Herbs from the rooftop. Not a single corner cut. The brand needed to match that. So we built something with real personality, something that works on a sign or a box and still holds up at thumbnail size.

The logo plays off the old theory that the moon is made of cheese. Because of course it does.

I spent years watching great businesses get overlooked because their brand didn't reflect the quality of their work. A restaurant with incredible
food and a logo that looked like it cost $20. A maker with beautiful products buried under generic packaging. A founder with a powerful story,
told by a brand that said nothing. It's not their fault. Nobody told them what was missing. That's why I started doing Brand Audits. A
personalized Loom video with honest, specific feedback on your visual identity, voice, strategy, and online presence. You've worked too hard for
your brand to be the thing holding you back. Spots are still available. DM or comment "Audit" to get started.

Your brand is the first thing people see before they ever meet you. And a lot of small businesses are leaving a bad first impression. Not because they don’t care. Because nobody ever told them what wasn’t working.

That’s what the Dropcap Brand Audit is for. I’ll record a personalized Loom video reviewing your logo, website, and social media presence, all while discussing how that ties into your current business related pain points. You’ll hear exactly what’s landing, what’s hurting you, and what to fix first. Honest, specific, actionable feedback.

3 free audits this month. First come, first served.
DM me “AUDIT” to claim yours.

I pulled up a local business and audited their brand:

There logo is hard to find and upon Googling they have 4 different marks. Which one is primary, which one is complimentary and which is no longer in use?

Their website is too merchandise-forward. I would have no idea this is cafe just by their homepage and unless you see the “menu” navigation button you would think it’s an online retailer

Their social media page while it has inconsistent branding with the website, it does a great job at visual story telling and showing people the cafe’s activity.

In just over a minute this could be more feedback than a brand has ever received. This is just a glimpse of what my brand audits look like.

The Dropcap Brand Audit drops April 1. (No seriously it does)

A logo isn’t just a logo.
It’s the blood, sweat, tears, heartache, joy, and every late night you’ve ever poured into your business compressed into a mark.
So when it’s not working? When it looks cheap, or generic, or like it could belong to anyone?
That stings. Because it doesn’t reflect what you actually built.
Something dropping next week for exactly this. Follow so you don’t miss it.

Something’s coming.

I’ve spent over 10 years watching small businesses pour everything into their work and get overlooked because their brand didn’t reflect it.

That changes soon. If your brand has been feeling off but you can’t quite put your finger on why, this is for you.

Make sure to follow so you don’t miss any updates

These are the days I live for. Went to Omaha for a little spring break vacation with the kiddos. Hotel got booked a week late, Expedia wasn't budging till the hotel told them what to do, after 3 bookings and 2 phone calls we got the reservation moved. Woke up to the interstate going home being closed. But in all honesty weekends like this motivate me so much to work hard so we can continue and have these memories with our family. Not because it's requiree or that's how you show affection, but because of the pure enjoyment we get.
