Stories are powerful! Our brains typically cannot retain the random details we face well. And it surely does not hold on to long drawn out details unless we present them in a story.

We tend to remember some key points of a really memorable story for a few days, sometimes weeks, months or even years all based on how many of our senses became engaged.

Stories help us to connect. It helps us to touch our audience, as it lingers and ruminates.

As a visionary thought leader you want to tell your audience a story that impacts their lives. How will your story help them to grow their business, or to enhance their life? How can your story help them create memories?

Storytelling is a way to share our unique journeys. We can immerse our audience into an experience where they can see, feel and believe their own role within the story. At the end of the day, remember, no one is actually buying a product or a service, they are truly buying your help to solve their problems.

A good story can allow you to attract new clients and further deepen the ones that already exist. It can inspire a crowd and also educate the masses.

Stories usually are used to spark necessary conversations. Stories can be verbal, written or visual.

What kind of story are you telling?

P.s. Feeling a bit stuck? I help creative visionaries and thought leaders increase their income by amplifying their message through visual stories that covers their unique strategy, brand identity, and digital web experience so they can make the most impact. If you are a driven leader ready to share more powerful stories, send me a DM to learn more about how you can reach a wider audience.

So I realize I totally didn’t get to share a recent project! We pushed out into the wild the new site for Millennial In Debt

As always it’s been a great time working with Mel and Shakira, they’ve grown their vision over the years and I cannot wait to see what they do next!

We crafted a site that took them from their heavily lifestyle and beauty focused blog, to one that is a powerhouse educator for all things financial and career with that millennial bougie flair!

Crafting a custom tailored site takes a lot of work, no lie. So many things to consider: audience, the experience, who’s going to be buying, where and what we want buyers to easily access and so much more. Together we collaborated on a timeless, usable and easy to function for both them and their clientele site that reaches the goals they’ve got set out.

Together we worked on:
Website Strategy
Web Design and Development
Site Migrations and Data Porting
to name a few

Thank you ladies so much for trusting me to help you bring your site vision to life!

———

So let me ask you, are you looking to get your site up and running well or get your brand together? Let’s have a convo about what you might need and how I can help you craft a brand or website that helps you conquer and exceed your goals, because in 2021 we’re here for all things: where the money, grace and favor resides!

𝔻𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕕𝕚𝕞 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥! 𝕊𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕚𝕥 𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥!!⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Recently I spoke about transformation and also about serving from a place of purpose. If you missed those, head to my profile and catch the latest posts. But did you know that, in order to purposefully serve and to be transformative you’ve got to let your light shine??⠀⠀
⠀⠀
It’s amazing that Christ called us to shine; in-fact when we surrender to Him, He tells us we are meant to be the salt of the earth. And last time I checked, salt is essential to cooking. Like have you ever had salt less food?? (usually it’s disgusting, but I digress)⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Fact is, instead of hiding, instead of being limited by fear and being robbed of our brilliance, choose to shine! Choose to be set apart, and authentic to what He called you to be. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I get it, in today’s world not many seem to care about Jesus and the precious gift He has given us, but as for me and my house: We serve the Lord! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
It has not always been smooth sailing, I mean Jesus did not have it smooth sailing either, sooo 🤷🏾‍♀️., but there is no place else I would rather be than knowing I’m secure and equipped by His grace. I wanted to remind you all today, shine in your brilliance and to know that thanks to power of Christ there is nothing you are unable to accomplish through Him once you have committed your purpose and will to His!

Soon I’ll be sharing some other sneak peeks at a brand design, as well it’s time to talk about the fundamentals of brand building...

What comes to mind when you think of transformation??

A butterfly 🦋 radically transforms and defies all odds. It shape shifts to become something stunning, often after having been in the trenches. The process of it becoming a beautiful butterfly isn’t by any means a pretty process, but we can all admit, the end results are truly fascinating.

When it comes to your own transformation, your own journey, what’s been at play?

My goal is to stop hiding behind fear, doubt and the unknown and to instead embrace exactly who and what I am, and to create exactly how God calls me to.

This stunning butterfly is a sneak peek at an element in a larger brand system for a brand that truly believes in the power and impact women have once they connect deeply with their innate hidden voice. Helping women transform and uncover their strengths to magnify them in every facet of their life.

So, tell me, what is included in your transformation? And what’s something you’re ready to change?

𝔻𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕝𝕪 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕎ℍ𝕐 𝕚𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
No, serious question: why are you in business right now? Why do you push ahead each day?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
A lot of the time, we aren't too sure what the root really is. It's great to want to provide better financially for the family, or have freedom to take vacations, or close out debt. Those are all goals that are needful in your life in some way or the other. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
♢ But, what really drives you?⠀⠀⠀
♢ What keeps you coming back to it, even when it gets tough and ugly?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Let's face it, running a small business, an agency, or doing it solo as an entrepreneur; no matter which you fall under, it's hard! It gets really rough, and you can feel that little pang to call it quits. But when that happens, what makes you stick it out?⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
♡ Purpose is defined as the reason for which something is done, the reason it exists.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
We were all created for something. I know my purpose is rooted deeply in who Christ has created me to be: a grand balance of being the effervescent enigma, the creative ⁣connoisseur and a Gospel missionary wherever I am in this world. ⠀

He gave us all a unique purpose from the very beginning. In business, we get to execute that purpose as well. We also get to form new facets of it within our business. Everyday, we explore and dive deeper into what really propels us, and what impact we want to have within this world.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
💚 Here’s something to do: dig deep, ask yourself, what truly is the impact you want to leave in this world? Why do you do what you do? Why you and not someone else? ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Write it down, and keep it handy. Every once in a while, you'll want to reflect on it. Let everything you do, be purpose-fueled!⠀

This vibeboard (aka ) gives me allll the feels. ⠀

Usually in the branding process, I like to visually explore the vibes of not only the client but exactly what their overall brand seeks to convey so it speaks directly to their dream client. ⠀

While vibeboards, style tiles and all those things are visually gorgeous to look at, they serve a great purpose. ⠀

They allow us (myself and my client) to truly hone in on exactly what tone, what aura, what look and feel they intend to put out. ⠀

Best of all, these vibeboards usually solidify after we’ve hammered out all the bigger details like the solid purpose behind the brand, the real foundation as to how they intend to serve, who they serve, what are they offering and more. ⠀

ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖’𝕤 𝕨𝕙𝕪 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕝𝕠𝕘𝕠 𝕚𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕓𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘!⠀

As business owners, we know how important it is to have things in place that will help us grow, scale and guarantee profits.⠀

Get a website, build a brand, have resources and all these other things to succeed is what we hear all the time. Today let’s talk about what exactly is your logo, and why isn’t it your branding anyways?⠀

Too often we think that a logo is the end all. Having that little symbol that shows off our company name, maybe a few colors and some accompanying patterns, and bam, we’ve got a brand! WRONG!⠀

🗣 Your logo is NOT your brand!⠀

🅢🅞 🅦🅗🅐🅣 🅘🅢 🅨🅞🅤🅡 🅛🅞🅖🅞⠀
⋒ Your logo simply plays the role of an identifying symbol of your overall brand. Think about the well known Apple brand, the bitten apple mark is just a visual representation of a greater whole of what they offer, who they are and how they show up.⠀

⋒ Your logo should help to lend to familiarity & instant recognition, something memorable so people know right away it’s you/your company/your brand. But having that small piece, isn’t everything.⠀

⧗ Over the next few posts I’m going to share more about branding, and websites, starting with, what exactly is branding anyways? Want to catch all of it, hit follow and tune in to my stories + posts and join me. We’re about to dive deep this month. First up, I’ll be sharing more in the IG stories on all things logos and identity. See you there!⠀

Hey hey hey!! Whew, it's been a minute since I've actually introduced myself & shown my face here⠀

Honest moment. IG became vastly, and quickly overwhelming to me and I pretty much stopped posting on the grid, and would shy away from stories, but more on that another time⠀

Hi, I'm Sasha-Shae but you can just call me Shae if you'd like. I am a Visual Design Strategist and owner of Fresh Medley Designs Studio, a boutique design studio that caters to women in service-based businesses who are making impact in this world with their talents, expertise and need support to strategically and beautifully grow their business⠀

Over the years, I've truly garnered and honed many skills, my love for expressing myself creatively started since I was a little girl. I've taken my years of arts and crafts (can you say yay for mixed media and collage making, painting and messy fun!?), blogging and dabbling code, and found my happy place right in the world of designing⠀

Fun fact, I wanted to do interior designing as well (I still obsessively watch my faves in that space, because it's so inspiring to see rooms/spaces transform)⠀

Here are a few things to know about me:⠀

Born and raised in Jamaica, migrated just shy of turning 16⠀

Going 7 years in Nov being married, to a techy (IT Consultant who is all about network systems and security, p.s. he totally does not like social media lolol!, but he uses it ultra sparingly and he runs from any chances of being in any pictures/videos)⠀

I am quirky, love to laugh, am pretty silly with my friends, but love a good deep convo + learning⠀

I am forever enamored by Jesus & His love. I share some encouragement and the Christian journey to a separate page (let me know if you want the link!)⠀

I look for the good in people and in every situation first. I love to sing, I'm INFJ who seems to resonate mainly with type 2/4/9 whenever I happen look at any Enneagram posts⠀

I currently live in the city of NY, but my heart is more for a laid back less fast paced life⠀

That’s all for now, I'll for sure share more about my journey as a designer, helpful biz+design tips etc soon

Tell me what's something unique about you?
