Big day here at Foothold Creative - cheers to seven years and to many more 🥂

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned reset to wrap up the year, right?

For the next thirty one days, I'm signing off of social media (and couldn't be more excited about it) so that I can finish up client work, soak up all the Christmas spirit with my loved ones and focus on my goals for 2023.

I'll be in the office until Dec. 16, and if you have any questions about working together in the new year, email is the way to go ([email protected]). Can't wait to share all that I have planned and for this next, exciting chapter of Foothold Creative!

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy holiday season — see ya next year!

"Having a child didn't hold me back. It propelled me forward." —

Before my maternity leave last year, I just assumed I would return to my work as the same old me with the same old business — just with a little one to take care of.

But as I got back into the swing of things, I realized I was dealing with a brand new version of myself.

What I didn't expect was for motherhood to change EVERYTHING. And with that change has come a lot of clarity.

And that clarity has guided some business model shifts I'm slowly making, new content and resources I want to bring to life, and the energy I'm bringing to my business in this season. With the direction my business is headed, I've never felt more aligned, I'm leaning into my strengths like never before, and I am able to better serve my clients (and make a positive impact for their businesses, too).

This Saturday marks SIX whole years of running my own business! And while I'm excited to celebrate what I've accomplished, I'm even more excited for this next chapter 🎉

Which label do *you* prefer — #1 or #2?

We created this product label (and seven others!) for my client during her Design Day last week and it's so crazy how different printing methods can create a totally different vibe.

This exactly why I provide my clients with different resources and a little extra support when it comes to print production. There are SO many choices out there and of course I want your brand (and brand collateral) to look it's absolute best.

SO which one is your favorite — the printed label or gold foil? 🤔

Definitely deserves a spot on the feed 🥂 cheers to six years!

To my husband, my family, my friends and all the other families like mine, we thank you.⁠

We owe our veterans SO much more for their sacrifice and their service. Let today be a reminder to honor those who have served and are serving in our nation’s military every day.⁠

Working on this sub-brand for a client has me dreaming of warm weather and ignoring the fact that it's 50° outside right now...

If you're launching an online course, group program, retreat or another special offer, a sub-brand can help your audience distinguish this offer from the rest of your business (and help YOU to catch their attention).

Think of a sub-brand as the Diet Coke to your brand's Coca Cola. There are still some of the same visual elements, but a couple of unique details or colors can help a sub-brand to stand on it's own.

Have more questions about sub-brands? Leave a comment below or send me a DM!

This is pretty much what the past four weeks have looked like — chasing the ever-elusive balance between being a business owner and a mama.⁠
⁠
I've been back from maternity leave for about a month now and to be completely honest, I had no idea how much motherhood would change me.⁠
⁠
I always assumed I would return to work at the same old business and as the same old me — but that couldn't be further from the truth.⁠
⁠
Motherhood has caused me to evaluate every facet of my life, and that includes my business.⁠
⁠
I've been more focused than ever since coming back and have zeroed in on how I can best serve my audience. I've looked back at what you've been asking for — the needs you have in your business and where I can best support you — as well as ways to maximize my time.⁠
⁠
There are a lot of exciting changes in the works and I can't wait to share more...

With my maternity leave around the corner, this week I'm wrapping up loose ends and making sure I have everything ready for baby girl's arrival.⁠
⁠
— I will be on maternity leave from July 23 - October 5 adjusting to my new role as mama and soaking up all the newborn snuggles.⁠
⁠
— If you're interested in working together in October and beyond, please complete the Client Application (linked in my bio).⁠
⁠
— If you have any other questions, please send an email to [email protected].⁠
⁠
Baby watch is in full swing, so I'm also accepting any and all good vibes, and advice for life with a newborn!
