Seeing some new faces around here lately, so hiiii 👋 I’m Steph!

I’m the designer behind Zel & Harlow Creative, where I help playful, purpose-driven brands become unmistakably themselves through intentional, story-led branding + web design.

But since your brand is about more than what you do, I figure I should be too. So a few things we might have in common:

🐈 Cat person, always.
🍿 I put pickles in my popcorn. Don’t knock it till you try it.
🤸‍♀️ Former gymnast.
🌮 Texas transplant now living that small town life in KY.
✈️ I’ve lived abroad and fully intend to do it again.
🖋️ I have 8 tattoos and will probably not stop at 8.
🎬 Mark Wahlberg has had my loyalty for an unreasonable amount of time.
👧 And I’m the eldest daughter (and a swiftie), which honestly explains quite a bit.

Around here you’ll find branding, websites, motherhood, business, behind-the-scenes design decisions, strong opinions about good branding, and probably a little chaos sprinkled in there too.

Now I wanna know: what do WE have in common?

And if the answer is pickles in popcorn, we’re immediately besties.

Current color palette I’m loving!

This one is proof that a brand can feel strategic, smart, and established without defaulting to beige + black.

Yes, her business is rooted in operations, but what she does is so much more than operations. She’s helping business owners create clarity, build something sustainable, make room to grow, and actually have the space to lead the business they’ve built.

So the brand needed to feel structured without feeling stiff. Strategic without feeling corporate. And full of the energy, ideas, and possibility that come with building a business that actually works for you.

The deep blue + graphite bring the foundation. The paper + Ashleigh blue give it breathing room. And those red + golden marker colors? That’s where the personality comes out.

Because “professional” is not a color palette.

And I will happily die on that tiny designer hill.

I was lucky enough to attend the Made for Mothers 🛼 National Community for Moms in Business Dallas launch yesterday and it was SO fun!! All I could think was… Bowling Green women it’s your turn NEXT!!!!!

MFM is not another networking event. It’s not a room where you have to perfect your elevator pitch or pretend you have everything figured out.

A room where you can talk about your business AND the baby. Where you can ask questions, share what’s actually working, learn from other women and make real connections with people who GET IT.

And after being in the room in Dallas, I’m even MORE excited that we get to create our own version of it in BGKY 😭

So if you’ve been watching me talk about MFM and wondering…

“But is this actually for me?”

Swipe. 👉 Because chances are, YES.

Haven’t launched your business yet? Come.
Business is brand new? Come.
Been doing this for 10 years? Come.
Baby attached to you 97% of the time? BRING THEM.
Want kids someday and are already thinking about how motherhood + business can coexist? Come.
Hate traditional networking events? GOOD. This isn’t one.

Our very first Made for Mothers Bowling Green gathering is September 24th at 11 AM at The Lounge @ 314 - Bowling Green Venue 🎳💚

I got to experience the Dallas room this week. Now I cannot freaking WAIT to see who’s sitting in the Bowling Green one.

What’s on the camera roll of a brand + web designer, part 03!

Apparently it’s 30% design inspo, 30% my kids, 20% food, 10% client work and 10% photos of things I desperately want to redesign.

But this camera roll dump feels extra special because somewhere between the mood boards, restaurant menus and toddler chaos... we moved into our own house 🥹

AND we’re officially two weeks away from the very first Made for Mothers 🛼 National Community for Moms in Business BGKY event!!!

Business. Babies. Both. And apparently a LOT of restaurant menus.

Pretty accurate representation of my life right now. 😂

I can’t go anywhere anymore without noticing the branding, ask my husband…

Case in point: Maiz De La Vida Restaurant in Nashville.

Maíz de la Vida was created by Owner + Executive Chef Julio Hernandez, whose story actually started with a search for the perfect corn tortilla. And somehow that same level of intention feels baked into the entire restaurant experience.

From the signage to the menu, glassware, interiors, murals, typography, color palette and even the bathroom art... every little piece felt like it belonged to the same world.

THIS is what I mean when I say good branding is so much more than a logo.

Nothing was overly matchy. Nothing felt like they just slapped the logo on everything. But it was all unmistakably them.

That’s the sweet spot.

Your brand should give you enough of a visual language that you can keep creating new things without losing the thread.

Anyway, welcome to Good Design in the Wild: Part Two 🌽

Came for lunch. Left with approximately 47 photos of branding like always.

August was a “just take the next step” kind of month.

Two new clients (!!), lots of really exciting work happening behind the scenes, and one big lesson I’m carrying with me: some of the best things in business (and life) have come from something I almost didn’t do.

An email. An introduction. Putting myself in a room where I didn’t know anyone. Saying yes before I knew exactly where it would lead.

And now we’re officially in Made for Mothers 🛼 National Community for Moms in Business Bowling Green launch month, which feels like another one of those take the step and see what happens moments!

August, you were good to me.

September... LET’S GOOOOO!!
