Strategy first. Design with purpose. Brands people remember.

I started Copper Theory Creative 10 years ago today.

I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. HA!

I was that kid in high school who knew I wanted my own business and wanted to be my own boss. I had a plan (kind of), went to college, and spent some time working in the industry afterward.

I had a really cool boss who encouraged me to do the damn thing. So, as a birthday present to myself, I filed the paperwork.

My plan was for Copper Theory's anniversary to be the same day as my birthday, August 17, but it turns out the state takes forever to do anything. 😂 August 19 it is.

I was excited, ambitious, and I also had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

Back then, I was the girl who could design your logo and print your business cards.

Along the way, I networked like it was a part-time job. I tried just about everything at least once. I said yes when I should have said no. I learned some expensive lessons. I built teams, rebuilt teams, screwed thing up, figured them out, all while working with some incredible people.

Somewhere along the way, Copper Theory became about a whole lot more than making things look good. The webiste isn't the issue and posting more isn't going to magically fix anything.

The real work is figuring out who you are, what you want to be known for, and whether the way you're showing up actually matches the business you've built.

That's the work I love.

Ten years ago, I thought I was starting a design company.

Today, I'm building a brand strategy studio that helps women-led businesses close the gap between how good they are and how clearly the rest of the world sees it.

My favorite thing about these 10 years:

**Copper Theory grew up with me.**

To every client who trusted me with their business, every person who sent a referral, every collaborator and team member who brought their talents into this company, every friend who listened to me talk through another wild idea, and everyone who's had a seat somewhere along this 10-year ride:

Thank you.

Seriously.

Ten freaking years.

I feel like we're just getting to the good part.

Happy birthday, Copper Theory. 🥃

Tomorrow, Copper Theory turns 10.

LIKE HOLY CRAP.

Life has been so busy and to be honest I didn't even want to do anything to celebrate. A good friend helped me realize that I should stop and take a moment.

At age 24, I filed the paperwork as a birthday present to myself.

About 5 years in, I was tapped out and hit a plateau. I decided I wanted to create a close-knit team that could deliver multiple services.

A couple years later I realized that a common pattern was happening within the mindset of our clientele - "Build it and they will come." Not the case in marketing.

Then we decided that a brand strategy is always necessary. It takes you priorities and provides data that allows you to make a data-driven decision. This was GOLD.

Now we always start with strategy and still have the team to implement digital marketing.

It hasn't been easy, but I still enjoy every minute. Sometimes you need to sit down and reset, sometimes you need to ask for a hand. And sometimes you need to take a look at some of the REALLY COOL moments that have happened in the last decade.

I don't regret a thing and I'm proud of what I've created. There will never be a day that you have it all figured out, but you can make sure you still love what you do, and I do.

It’s my birthday and apparently I’m old enough now to have advice for my younger self. Rude. LOL

A few days ago, I was on a colleague’s podcast and she asked me:

“What would you tell yourself when you were first starting your business?”

I didn’t have to think very hard...

• Headcount does not equal success.
• Building a team is hard. Really hard.
• Have boundaries...and for the love of God, stick to them.
• TRUST. YOUR. GUT.
• You know more than you think you do.
• Stop touching everything and sit the f*** down. Just take a minute to breathe.
• When you build something from scratch, it becomes your baby. You’re so close to it that eventually you can’t tell if you’re improving something or just messing with it because you’re anxious. Trust people who can see things you can’t because you’ve been staring at this thing for 10 years.

I know myself so much better today than I did when I started Copper Theory.

I know what I’m great at and what I enjoy, but I also know what drains me.
I know what I need to let go of.

Maybe that’s what getting older is.

Cheers to knowing what's right and occasionally sitting the f*** down.

Happy birthday to me. 🥃

Can we all agree to retire the phrase, "Build it and they will come"? 😅

If only business worked that way.

Every other week, I get to chat with my friend Alison Ver Halen about branding, marketing, and the things business owners hear all the time that just... aren't true.

Our first topic?

"Build it and they will come."

Spoiler alert: building something amazing is only part of the equation.

You still have to give people a reason to find you, trust you, and remember you.

I'd love to know... what's a business or branding myth you've heard that drives you crazy?

🎥 Check out the conversation!

Three entrepreneurs. Three different industries. One shared turning point: they stopped accepting 'fine' and started demanding originality.

I've watched this pattern repeat across my clients-the moment they invest in a brand that actually reflects who they are, the market responds differently. Not because design is magic. Because authenticity sells.

These three didn't just get prettier logos. They got clarity. Positioning. Confidence. And yes-revenue that proved it.

If your brand feels invisible or fractured or like it's apologizing for existing, that's not a design problem. It's a strategy problem. And it's fixable.

One of my favorite things about business? The people.

This week, two amazing women from two different states reached out because they were going to be in town and wanted to get together.

Obviously, I said yes.

The funny part? They each knew women in my own community, and one of my local friends ended up joining both evenings.

It’s wild how small the world can feel.

It also reminded me that the best part of business isn’t just growing a company. It’s building relationships with people who genuinely cheer each other on, make introductions, and show up.

Those connections have a way of crossing paths when you least expect it.

Here’s to good conversations, incredible women, and a reminder that your network really is one of the best parts of the journey.

Since my last post mentioned slowing down for summer, I thought this would be the perfect time to ask: what are your plans for Q3 and Q4? Summer is the perfect planning season.

This is a great time for a brand check in. Your business changes and evolves, and reflecting on where you’ve been and where you’re going will help you plan for growth now - not when it’s already here.

It’s a great time to start planning for the fall. Fall is event season (where are you going? Who do you want to connect with?), fall is growth season (new clients make their buying decisions moving into the end of the year, you know??), and instead of waiting for something to happen TO you, make something happen BY you.

Take a critical look at your branding and consistency: What needs to change? What needs to evolve? What needs to stay put yet still attract a whole new client base?

It’s a great time to check in, do an audit and start to create a new plan. We got this. Enjoy the sunshine friends.

Well, July is here and summer is in full swing. How is yours starting out?

Mine is great - the pacing has slowed a bit. I’m able to reconnect with former clients and get updates on their lives (check your inbox. seriously). It’s so fun to have a moment to be real with them and celebrate all the good things, in life and in business.

Summer creates space to reconnect, and be intentional about both business and life. Which are both my focus at the moment.

I’m really loving my new home, getting settled in and decorating with my Herbie by my side (see office decor). I may even be trying something new or paddle boarding, you’ll have to find out on future posts.

I’m also attending some great ProVisors events, still involved in the DES Board, and we are working on some things internally at CTC.

How are you slowing down and regrouping this summer?

07/03/2026

Lead generation is job #1, right?

Maybe.

Let me make a case for brand strategy, since that’s where I live and I have thoughts. Shocking, I know.

Most businesses are chasing more leads before they’ve built an environment that earns trust, keeps the right clients, and gives people a reason to refer them.

That’s where the wheels fall off.

Brand strategy is not just a pretty PDF or a cute little mission statement you forget exists after the meeting. It’s the work that helps you understand who you’re actually trying to reach and what they need to believe before they buy from you.

In a brand strategy session, we get specific.

Not “women ages 35 to 55.”

No. We go deeper.

Who is she?
What does her day look like?
What does she care about after 5 p.m.?
What is she tired of hearing?
What makes her feel seen?
What makes her finally say, “Yep, that’s the one”?

Those answers matter.

They help us build the bucket before we pour more leads into it.

The goal is not to attract everyone. It’s to attract the right people and create an experience that makes them feel understood enough to stay.

That’s why I love this work.

We’re not just making brands look better. We’re helping businesses become easier to trust.

Build it and they will trust you.
