1. You’ve redone it before and it still doesn’t feel right

2. People land on it but don’t reach out

3. You can’t explain what it’s actually supposed to do for your business

If any of those hit, the problem isn’t visual. It’s structural. You don’t have a clear content plan for what your site needs to say, in what order, and why.

That’s exactly what the Wireframe and Content Structure package fixes. Before any design happens, we map out the full structure of your site so that when you build, you’re building something that actually works.

DM me “PLAN” if you want details.

250 bulbs. Planted in October. In the cold.

I used a technique called bulb lasagna where you layer different varieties at different depths so something is always blooming.

Daffodils first.
Hyacinths next.
Tulips last.

This morning I walked outside and the whole bed is just going.

There’s something about that I keep coming back to.

The things that compound, the systems, the relationships, the work you do quietly before anyone can see it, none of it looks like much while you’re doing it.

You’re just planting in the cold and trusting the timing.

The timing is almost always right. You just can’t dig it up before it’s ready.

Wishing everyone a slow, warm weekend. 🌷

I’ve been working on something new for the women who know their website needs help…

The Website Wireframe Package

Because most of the time, the thing holding you back from building your website is the blank page.

It’s that your website doesn’t have a clear flow.

So instead of guessing what to fix, this gives you the exact structure to follow.

Here’s what’s included:

• Wireframes for your core pages (Home, About, Services, Contact, + Blog/Resources)
• Strategic layout for each page so your content actually makes sense
• CTA placement so people know what to do when they land on your site
• Headline + section prompts so you’re not staring at a blank page
• Light homepage messaging refinement
• 1 round of revisions
• 30-minute walkthrough + Q&A so you’re not left figuring it out alone

Think of it like a blueprint.

You still build the house… but you’re not making it up as you go.

This is perfect if you:
• Have a site that feels messy or confusing
• Are DIY-ing your website but want it to actually convert
• Know your business has grown, but your website hasn’t caught up

It’s also a really solid stepping stone before a full custom site.

Instead of starting from scratch later, you already have the strategy mapped out.

If you’ve been feeling stuck with your website, this is probably the missing piece.

Earlier today, I posted a version of this brand reveal that was created with Ai. 🤖

I thought: “I want these mockups to really tell the story of the thought behind this change”

I wanted to show more context, mocked up elements that felt fitting beyond “just” the brand board and the logo update. And consistent looking mockup creation is TOUGH when it’s just me, myself, and I running a whole damn business.

Lately, I’ve been battling with the adoption of Ai in my industry… devs are losing their jobs every day, the environment is rapidly declining (mainly because of the corporatized method of cooling over an ecological one), and my job and expertise is feeling like it’s been given a shelf life due to the consistent upgrades.

The reality is, it’s not going anywhere.

And this week has been packed, like most of my weeks, so I creative directed Ai to execute my vision. And my results, although not perfect, were good enough for me to feel confident about posting them.

But the comments rolled in with critique about the conflict of an outdoor adventure brand being placed on some Ai built images. Disappointment about the visuals disconnecting with the true mission and values of the brand.

My immediate reaction was embarrassment tbh.

Because truthfully, it was weighing on me that I was posting with Ai images for the first time. Morally, it doesn’t align with me either, regardless of the context of the rebrand.

But lately I struggle with how to compete without falling behind with this new technology. How do I keep my business alive when people don’t see my value until they see that final product?

I see plenty of cheaper designers out there making generic, ai slop. And I DO NOT design or build my clients’ brands or websites with Ai.

But, what I do is truly more than “just” designing or making things look pretty.

I think holistically about my clients and their brands.

I’ve developed a process that guides me and my clients to an outcome that resonates with them so deeply that they feel more confident and regulated in their business. They know who they are for and what their ideal audience needs.

This revision feels more like me.

Five years ago, I sent a DM I almost didn’t send.

At the time I was a Senior UX Designer in a very corporate job that looked good on paper and felt completely wrong in my body.

I didn’t have Flower Buds Creative yet. I didn’t have a polished offer or a business plan. I just knew I wanted to build something of my own.

Nicole replied.

That same day, I quit my job.

Her brand, , became my first real client. And that project eventually led to other clients, including one of my favorite long-term partnerships.

Five years later she reached back out — not for a full rebrand, but for a small evolution.

Because people grow. And brands should grow with them.

Looking back, it feels pretty wild that one message could start something that would shape the next five years of my life.

Nicole didn’t just hire me.

She unknowingly helped me start.

If you want to read the full story, I shared it on the blog.

The event brought together women from all stages of business to feel confident and comfortable being themselves. It’s always nice to get positive feedback but even more so when your intentions are clearly seen and understood.

Thankful to feel the love on a day that really put me outside of my comfort zone.💖
