GET TO KNOW YOUR DESIGN BESTIE

I’m here to challenge what you think is “professional”…

Because I’m so over seeing incredible folks dim their light with soulless brands just to please people who were never in their corner to begin with.

I didn’t become a business owner to go with the flow

I became a business owner because I was tired of people telling me how I had to act, dress, and speak in order to be taken seriously.

Fun hair, tattoos, and a sense of whimsy shouldn’t mean that I get overlooked for promotions and my ideas get squashed until they come out of a man’s mouth instead. Yet that was my experience in the corporate world. 

And if you’re here, you probably feel ike that too.

Print branding materials for Cate Face skincare studio designed by Marmalade Creative Studio, including a logo, brand guidelines, and a webpage showing facial treatment services.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

Professional doesn’t have to mean bland, safe, and minimal.

It means you can show up, effectively explain your expertise to your target audience, and not feel like a soulless drone by the end of the day.

Playing it safe is a disservice to all the unique and beautiful things that make you, you.

There’s a reason everyone in your industry looks the same. They chose to play it safe to not cause any ripples in the industry. That’s why almost every salon or spa uses the same script font, floral icons, and beige color palette. 

But that’s not how you craft a brand that sticks.

How I like to Work

🧁

anti-beige + anti-boring

Being yourself is literally the best thing you can be! I firmly believe that being true to yourself and your values is the best way to meet your dream clients again and again.

creative collaboration

I’m not a pixel pusher and I’m not a “yes” girl. I’m here to help bring your vision to life in the best way possible. We will work together and create something super sweet.

i <3 passionate brands

I’m selective over who I work with because I believe your designer should be just as excited about your business as you are. When I approve our project it means I’m bringing all I got to the table!!

✏️

open communication

For a project to go well, we have to communicate well! I prioritize open communication that feels low-pressure and accessible. No stuffy, unnecessary meetings!

my not so secret lore

(because i love to yap)

MY ORIGIN STORY

scorpio bb

I grew up in south Alabama in the middle of nowhere. I was the weird, tomboy with frogs and bugs in their pockets.

(Still am, tbh.)

IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM!

myspace kid

I spent a lot of time on MySpace learning to code and use Photoshop. I apparently never grew out of it.

I was very much on Tumblr and Lookbook. I was cringe but I was free.

MY FAVE ANIMAL

corgi obsessed

Very original of me to love the internets fave dog, but seriously who couldn't love a sassy potato?

I had two soul dogs who changed the trajectory of my life and led me here and I'll always be a corgi mom because of them. :)

MY INTERESTS + HOBBIES

anime + sci-fi nerd

I spend most of my free time playing video games or watching anime with my partner. I also love to read sci-fi and other fantasy genres.

Currently watching One Piece & reading The Witcher Series.

CAREER

artist, esthetician, + designer

I have worked as an esthetician for 5+ years and a designer for 6+. I love helping other small businesses and services providers bring their brand visions to life.

A Small Business Owner Like You

Their attention to detail, thorough communication, and creativity + talent is what made this experience so wonderful for me and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with my new branding. Marci nailed my vision so perfectly and it makes me feel excited to show up, which has been the missing piece for me in my business.
