Owner & Founder here at Feather Blue Studios

Brand Strategist, Marketing Mentor, Online Business Coach for Big-Hearted Women, Brand Photographer, World Changer, Chief Encourager

Small businesses (+ dark chocolate, chai tea, give-back boutiques, and all-thing-blue) get me super excited… which means, perhaps we already have something in common?

As a female business owner with over 15 years of entrepreneurial-adventures, I love helping other brands springboard to life online…

…elevating their brand & business to next-level success [in purpose + profit]!

My gifts are in strategy, ideas, creativity, and empathy. (#INFJ here!)

I’m fueled by more than a love of what I do, but also as a mission-minded business — giving back to fight human trafficking + support women in developing countries with business loans. #LetsChangeTheWorld

And I’m pretty darn good at simplifying marketing down to the most meaningful (+ most powerful) for you and your business!

I think marketing should feel like one big, beautiful conversation with the audience you want to serve — no “icky sales feelings” necessary — don’t you?

And now — through mostly brand & marketing strategy coaching (+ some done-for-you-creative services)…

…my team and I have the joy of helping big-hearted women create a meaningful brand story + simplified marketing stepping stone path online.

Which in turn:

  • helps them draw their absolute favorite clients & followers in with ease

  • makes social wildly simple

  • eliminates the what-now stress

  • helps them avoid uncomfortable online trends, doing marketing that aligns with their personality (even for introverts!)

  • and helps them elevate their business to next-level success! (Go write that book, lead that thing… or hey, take a nap while your online presence draws clients in for you!)

Along the 15+ years of my small business journey I’ve been: a creator, crafter, product rep, studio owner, photographer, designer, writer, marketing manager, and now a brand strategist and online business mentor.

I’ve produced events, overcome my technology fears, dove deep into how I was designed, embraced social media with simplicity (with my own unique methods — ones I teach women like you!), and grown in so many ways.

Like you, I’ve faced difficult and emotional circumstances (like pulling the plug on entire projects thousands of dollars in, a traumatic car accident that brought on mental health struggles, a concussion with longterm effects, financial trials, and family issues).

I’ve been a mother, a wife, a caretaker for one of my parents, a volunteer, a friend, and have had to step up to grow wildly in courage every step of the way.

And for me, that’s also meant leaning into my faith — knowing I am blessed that God gave me the gifts & talents + opportunity and the drive & desire to make an impact in this world.

And through all the business ups & downs + life adventures, I’m so grateful to have come to a place in my business that feels so deeply aligned with all the ways I want to serve and give (knowing there’s always more ideas to come!)

And you can too, Friend.
