Mew has always been one of my favorite Pokémon — but not for typical reasons. 🌟 . New is a one-of-a-kind Pokémon. While it looks cute & delicate, it’s insanely powerful and almost impossible to capture. 🔥 . Similar to an artist’s muse — it’s allusive, mysterious and hard to find!! 😂🌟 . It’s also often underestimated and surprisingly powerful 💪🏻 . . Today, channel your inner Mew. Surprise people with your power, stay cute and appreciate your own legendaryness. 🙌🏻🌟 .

Been cranking away over here— two clients websites will be launching in the next few weeks!! 😍🌟💖 . One totally custom Wordpress site built from individual page mockups, and another built on Squarespace 🙌🏻 . I can’t wait to share more with you! But in the meantime, here’s a picture of me in my natural environment — creating custom designs, Starbucks nearby and fabulous pins nearby for inspiration 😍 . What are your must haves for a productive day?? . . Thanks @alexandriasalmieri for venturing into my habitat to capture this office pic 🌟📸 . . . . . . . . #passionproject #spiritualbossbabe #beingboss #bossbabe #liveyourdream #pastellife #stayinspired #collaboratingcreatives #risingtidesociety #tuesdaystogether #creativeatheart #spreadcreativity #calledtobecreative #purplehairdontcare #purplehair #createeveryday #mompreneur #solopreneur #creativelifehappylife #creativelife #pursuepretty #makersmovement #creativityfound #livecreatively #ipreview via @preview.app
You're serious about your business, and you believe in the work that you do. In other words, you're basically a superstar — so let's be honest: there’s no way a pre-made logo can represent all of that magical goodness! 💡Today on the blog, I share 6 of the many reasons that your business deserves sooooo much more than a pre-made logo. . We've all heard the saying, "you get what you pay for." Well this is definitely the case with branding. While it may seem like a quick & cheap solution to purchase a pre-made design, you may actually be paying for that mistake over and over again in the future. 👎🏻 . Feel confident having a brand and logo that truly represent your business and that will evolve with you as your business grows. By getting the visuals right from the beginning, you can stay consistent, and attract the right audience from day one. . Be intentional, take time to build a custom brand and make your visuals shine as brightly as the amazing individual you are!! ✨ .

Let me know in the comments which reason resonates most with you. . . . . . . . . #creativepassion #passionproject #digitalartist #illustration #artistsofinstagram #inspireothers #spreadcreativity #creativespotlight #fineartist #fineartistofinstagram #instaartist #artsy #branddesign #designerlife #brandingtips #handmadewithlove #creativehappylife #colorcompanion #creativesoul #goodvibesonly #spiritualbossbabe #sharethelove #collaborationovercompetition #liveyourdream #spreadinspiration #artinspiration #artspiration #logodesign #watercolorillustration #artinspired
My WHY behind Star Castle Studio. 💖 . I have a lot of reasons why I decided to start my own business, but this little cutie was for sure my number one. 🙌🏻 . Working at an agency and paying someone to watch my little one (almost as much as I was making!) was hurting my heart. 💔😭 . The real kicker was paying what I was making to do a job I wanted to do myself — making memories with my daughter. . I had always maintained freelance design jobs while working at the digital marketing agency, so revving that up, avoiding paying for tons of child care, and spending more time with my family just made sense. 🌟 . Running my growing design business, I’ve had to build a balanced schedule of family and work time — but I feel so lucky to be able to craft that schedule in a way that feels right to me. 💖 . Why’d you start your business? What keeps you inspired and focused on accomplishing your goals?! 🌟 . . Our amazing wedding photos were captured by the amazingly talented @jordanweilandphotography 📸🌟 . . . . . . . . . . . #familyfirst #heartoverhustle #liveyourbestlife #liveyourpassion #passionproject #worklifebalance #pinkhairdontcare #mermaidhair #mompreneur #mompreneurlife #liveyourdream #proudmomma #workingmomlife #cultivatewhatmatters #creativehappylife
Name that Disney movie!! 🌟 . I keep this reminder up in my office at alllll times because it encourages me to push forward each and every day. 💪🏻 . Building a dream is a process.

That passion project your heart has been longing for — it’s not only possible, but it’s in your reach. . I get it, it’s hard to know where to start. Lucky for you, translating dreams into tangible visuals is my specialty. ✨🥰 .
