"I have all these ideas in my head & just need someone to understand the vision, & help me organize everything."

Listening to clients word vomit every thought they've ever had about their brand, really looks like a mood board forming inside my brain.

I like to think having a photographic memory contributes to my ability to take all the ideas you've had floating around in your brain, and create clarity, cohesiveness, & direction out of your brand 💛

A little thank you note today 🤍

To every person who is better at their job than I could ever be at it: thank you.

When I left corporate fashion to build RISE, I thought being a founder meant doing it all myself. It took me a while to learn the opposite. The businesses that grow are the ones where the founder knows what to hand off, and who she can trust with it.

So to the people who keep my home running while I build… because of you, I get to spend my time on the work only I can do.

And that’s exactly how I want my clients to feel.

You’ve spent years being the expert in the room. You know what “done right” looks like. So when you’re finally ready to launch the brand you’ve been dreaming about, you shouldn’t have to become a designer, copywriter and Shopify developer overnight. You should get to hand it to someone you trust, and exhale.

That’s what we do at Brands by RISE: strategy, messaging and design built into one brand world, so you can step into the role of founder instead of doing it all yourself.

If yall stopped making this mistake, you'd probably put me out of a job 🙈

Over 50% of the projects that I booked this year came to me after creating a product that they absolutely loved, and then realizing that it would be more expensive than originally expected to actually produce the product.

They realize that their current brand experience and positioning could not justify the price point of the product they wanted to make and therefore needed to re-strategize how to position their product in a way that will connect with their target audience, and build a visually stunning brand world around that positioning.

Starting with brand strategy and messaging first allows you to make sure that the way your product connects with your consumer justifies the price point that will allow you to produce your product the way that you want, and the way that you need in order to be successful as a brand.

So, don't go backwards, hire me first 🤪 Comment "strategy" to talk about your brand! 💛

A lot of my calls start with, “Okay, I have this idea…”

And honestly, that’s enough.

You don’t need to know what your positioning should be, what your brand should look like, how to build a Shopify site, or even what order any of this is supposed to happen in.

That’s my job.

I’ve spent the last 11+ years helping build more than 150 brands, many of them from the very first idea all the way through launch.

So when you bring me the idea, you’re not just hiring someone to design it. You’re getting someone who knows how all the pieces fit together, what we need to figure out first, what can wait, where it’s worth investing, and how to take what you see in your head and actually build a business around it.

You know your world. I know mine.

Bring me the idea. We’ll build from there.

Maybe you don’t hate your career. Maybe you’ve simply reached the point where you’re ready to build something that belongs to you.

I think we talk a lot about entrepreneurship as an escape plan.

The toxic job. The terrible boss. The burnout that finally makes you quit.

But that’s not the story for a lot of the women I work with.

They’re good at what they do. They’ve built careers they’re proud of. They’re respected, experienced, successful.

And still, there’s this idea.

The one they think about on the drive home. Research after everyone else has gone to bed. Save things for. Buy the domain for. Bring up every few months with, “Okay, hear me out…”

Not because they’re desperate to get away from their life.

Because they’ve reached a point where they want to know what it feels like to put all of that experience, ambition and taste toward something that’s actually theirs.

I think that’s an important distinction.

You don’t have to blow up a life you hate to justify building one you want.
And you’re not starting over, either.

You’re starting with everything you’ve learned along the way.

Maybe that idea you keep coming back to is worth taking a little more seriously.

This client came to me with one thing already decided: her logo.

It had already been sent to manufacturing. So changing it wasn’t really an option.

But a logo isn’t a brand, and it definitely isn’t enough to tell me what the rest of the brand should look, sound, or feel like.

So before we touched colors, typography, packaging, photography direction, or any of the other pieces that would eventually make up her visual world, we started with strategy.

We built out her positioning, messaging, vision, goals, ideal customer, and the feeling she wanted someone to have when they experienced the brand.

Once I understood where the brand was going, I could figure out how to take the one asset we already had and build an entire world around it.

And this is exactly why I believe founders need more than someone who can make things look good.

When you have a strategic advisor + creative partner who understands the bigger picture, we can take one small piece—a logo, an idea, a product, a vision—and ask:

What could this become?

Then we build everything around that answer.

That’s the difference between creating assets and building a brand. ⚡️
