Helping you spread (the word) about your creative business

WITHOUT SPREADING YOURSELF TOO THIN 🧈

Sure, you could DIY your brand in Canva. You could also cut your own bangs. But some things just turn out better when left to the pros, don’t cha think?

We're here to help your brand stick in the hearts, minds, and browser tabs of your dreamiest customers for years to come—so when they're ready to book, buy, or rave to their friends, you're the first (and only) name they think of. That means less DIY stress for you, more sales, and a brand worth spreading the word about. ✨

Esthetician turned brand + web designer

DIY-ing your brand is a journey—one I know all too well. Before I was designing sticky brands, I was an esthetician, piecing together a logo in Canva, second-guessing my website, and wondering why it never felt quite right. Turns out, branding isn’t just a luxury—it’s what makes running your creative business easier.

A strong brand means less explaining, more attracting. The right visuals, messaging, and strategy make sure your dream clients get you instantly—so you don’t have to spend your days glued to Instagram, hustling for every inquiry. Instead, your brand does the work for you, leaving an impression that lingers long after the first scroll.

That’s what I help creatives like you build: brands that stick, grow, and take the not-so-fun biz bits off your plate.

The difference between a forgettable and an unforgettable brand?
A little Marmalade.

You’re bold, zesty, and full of flavor—so your brand should be, too. (I mean, that’s just science).

Whether you’re a quirky Gen Z or millennial start-up, an inclusive beauty or wellness business, or a creative service provider carving out your own space, you deserve branding that turns heads and makes an impact.

That’s where I come in…

BRAND DESIGN FOR NEW(ISH) BRANDS

The House Recipe 🍯

For creative entrepreneurs who are done blending in, but still unsure how to stand out. We get it: Going bold can feel a little scary. But tweaking your Canva logo at 2 AM isn’t getting you closer to the brand you actually want.

You need a custom brand that’s built for you, designed to grow with you, and packed with the kind of personality that makes people remember you.

The Signature Spread 🥄

For creatives ready to go all in on a brand and website that means business. So, if you’re still taking inquiries through Facebook DMs, manually sending price lists, and hoping potential clients don’t ghost you—it’s time for a major glow-up.

A strategic brand and website tells your story, builds trust, and makes booking seamless so clients say "yes" without the back-and-forth.

THE MARMALADE DIFFERENCE 🍊

The secret sauce for brands that linger long after the first scroll 

Real talk? Looking good on Instagram is one thing—getting noticed, shared, and booked out is another. Because when the right people land on your brand, they shouldn’t just scroll—they should stick around. Good thing that’s our specialty, huh? Here’s how Marmalade hits different:

 MADE FROM SCRATCH
(NO ARTIFICIAL BRANDING)

Your business isn’t cookie-cutter—so why settle for templated branding?

We start with the raw ingredients—your story, your values, your secret sauce—and mix them into a custom brand that’s as authentic and unique as you.

CREATED FOR IMPACT,
DESIGNED TO STICK AROUND

We partner with inclusive, purpose-driven entrepreneurs who care about more than just making a profit—they’re here to shake things up, make an impact, and leave their industry better than they found it.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place, friend.

SLATHERED WITH STRATEGY, LAYERED WITH MEANING

Good branding is pretty. Great branding is strategic. Ours is both.

That’s why we design with intention, making sure every color, every font, and every detail connects back to your bigger vision and brand personality.

You’ll never feel lost and will know exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.
