oops.. this one may have been hiding in my camera roll for awhile🍸

Gather & Graze — a boutique catering experience, now available in St. Louis. Led by award-winning chef Adam Altnether & his wife Lili 💛 .stl

i had so much fun creating their brand identity & one-page site!!

i was welcomed into Lili & Adam’s home to get to know them both a little better, and it’s clear their talent is only matched by their passion for food, tradition, professionalism, & serving others.

also they may be the busiest & most-hardworking people I’ve ever met!!

like design, food is storytelling. it’s home. comfort. connection.

their branding needed to feel elegant, bold, unique, & experiential. ✨

what do you think? did we hit the mark?

⚡️i only have 1 more spot left in March for a branding/website build! slide into my dms with any questions!

last week I was lucky enough to be featured in & was able to share my experience through imposter syndrome & the impact it has had on me- which I truly believe has led me here- in business.

last week was also national women and girls in sports day & the season opening of college softball. softball has taught me more lessons than I ever thought possible, or wanted lol.

but I encourage you whether you’re deep in motherhood, in business, in sport especially, or just need a little reminder to keep pushing for what you want- to read my story & experience- because i bet you can relate, too. 🫶🏼⚡️

“Imposter syndrome never really goes away, you just get better at recognizing it & making the choice to handle it differently” ✨

and just a reminder, instagram/social media is a highlight reel. so here’s my highlight, but just know there’s still a mom, wife, business owner, friend, daughter, sister, & teammate trying to make it through each day. 🫶🏼

what helps you get past imposter syndrome??

a rebrand is loading…. 🍒🎱⚡️🔥

Jan. 2026, officially marks TWO years in business. & instead of throwing a birthday party or celebrating, im over here head down, nose to the keyboard plotting & scheming 😈

year one was kind of like an experiment (beta clients only), year two was more lessons, reps, & getting damn good at design. year three… we’re taking the laptop by the horns. or the bull by the balls. whatever that saying is 🐂🫡😏

the secrets out for my local Franklin County MO girlies.. 😏🚀

is coming January 2026 & it’s going to be everything you’ve ever wanted for your health & wellness journey!

the owner & founder, has been doing my hair for years & I think I yelped w/ excitement when she let me in on her little secret of opening Club Her 🤪

Club Her is more than a gym 🧘🏻‍♀️ it’s a space where women- especially busy moms juggling it all- can recharge & find joy in movement again. & in a space that was made for especially for them ✨

no judgement, no gym bros, no weird egos, just a comfy space to move, sweat, & relax 😌

together we built the brand to mirror that mission: soft, approachable, and strong in the quietest, most confident way.

a club like feel, but where everyone is invited to show up as you are 🤌🏼

after launching her site, her founding member special sold out in almost 24 hours 🤯 prompting her to open up a few more spots!

watching Club Her come to life from ideation to the full site launching, is such a powerful example of what can happen when women decide to go all in on their vision 🥹

if you’re ready to step into that energy next year, let’s talk ⚡️

when came to me back this summer, she had just been blessed with a huge a opportunity & was quickly becoming the go-to in her industry. ✨

her current branding didn’t quite reflect her eye for design, or her professionalism & knowledge in her field. her one goal was to make sure her brand felt approachable, cozy, warm, & full of character.

introducing the new moodboard for 😌✨

before we tackled the fun part- the creative direction & visuals, we crafted a 7 page brand strategy document that outlined her mission & dove deep into her brand voice & positioning to help reach potential investors & turn them into new partnerships & collaborations.

I absolutely cannot wait to share this new brand for Nicci, she has the sweetest, kindest soul 🫶🏼
