BRAND STRATEGIST & WEBSITE DESIGNER FOR FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS
I don’t follow trends. I don’t copy designs. And I don’t believe in one strategy for all.
And that makes all the difference.
I’m not just here to give you a bulleted list of deliverables.
I’m here to empower you to grow your brand so it’s built-to-last.
Before I was a brand strategist and web designer, I was an overworked wedding planner who cringed whenever I’d land on another vendor’s outdated website.
And TBH, it was really hard to send those sites to my clients because I knew the website didn’t reflect the value these talented individuals provided.
It wasn’t until I started Sunday Muse Design that I realized I could use my design and marketing skills to help other small business owners and creatives.
Now, I’m here to help you build a brand that’s blended with both strategy and style.
Because let me tell you—when it’s crafted carefully, you’re going to connect with your audience, elevate your brand, and drive growth and success.
Sunday Muse is for the fearless, the ambitious, the brilliant, the humble, the passionate, and the uninhibited dreamers and doers who want to make a positive impact on the world.
HOW’D I GET HERE, YOU ASK?
Long story short: I left one entrepreneurial journey for another.
I was sitting at the kitchen table with my husband, our 6-month old daughter upstairs in her crib. It’d been only 4 months since I closed my first business. And I finally admitted I had a burning desire to be creative while helping meet our family’s needs.
I knew something had to change.
So with my husband’s encouragement, I decided to start Sunday Muse Design. And even though I had NO clue how I was going to start a new business with a baby, I knew it was possible and I took the leap of faith. And that leap changed everything.
I leaned into my love of design, marketing, and writing. Like most small businesses, Sunday Muse evolved. Now it’s a beautiful mix of some of my biggest passions…AND I (along with my small team of amazing women) get to help other passionate business owners grow their own brands.
