Intentional marketing and design for brands driven by purposeful work.

Google just had its biggest glow-up in 25 years. Your marketing strategy deserves a briefing. 👀 New Field Guide dropping soon — The Search Shift and what to do about it.

🔍Stay tuned…

Current studio snapshot, unfiltered. ✌️

A 90-day campaign for a real estate brand I'm genuinely proud of. A customer journey for an AI audiobook startup that made me rethink how I talk about lifecycle marketing. A newsletter and resource library for Christian business leaders that writes at CEO level. Dreaming about the redesign of my home office. And my own Field Guide content ecosystem — finally.

Different industries. Same philosophy underneath all of it: long-term thinking, no chaos, facts presented when the right person is ready for them.

"Marketing with Purpose" isn't just a tagline. It's how I show up to every single one of these. 🌿

If this is the kind of marketing you've been looking for, the link in my bio is a good place to start.

P.S. I LOVE this swatch, but their sofa is too big to fit into my new office 😩 Who makes a small sleeper sofa sectional? I need recs!

Your brand is communicating something before you ever get the chance to prove yourself. 👀

Every design choice you make sends a signal to your audience within MILLISECONDS... before a single word is read.

And if that signal reads as inconsistent, rushed, or trend-chasing, the people will bounce. Your brand needs to earn trust before anyone buys from you.

Wondering how your brand measures up?

On Tuesday, I'm sending the next Marketing Minute to subscriber inboxes and it's all about design that builds credibility.

✨ Resize your images for web at lightning speed! ✨

The image processor script built into Photoshop is a game changer.

Don’t skip this step. Your website load times are counting on you for small image sizes. And your visitors are counting on you for high quality images.

This achieves both!

You’re welcome 😉

Your homepage has about 3 seconds to earn the next 3 minutes. 🥵

If you don't immediately deliver what your visitors are expecting, they'll bounce.

So, what are they looking for? Trust signals... the things that subtly tell a visitor you're safe, relevant, and you know what you're doing.

Here are the 5 I look for on every homepage I audit:

01 — A headline that speaks to the visitor (not about you)
02 — A real human face, near or above the fold
03 — Proof that isn't just your own words
04 — A visible, specific process
05 — One very clear next step

📌 Save this for your next website review.

If you need a little guidance, send me a DM with your homepage URL and I'll send you my top tips for making quick improvements! 💃

I have been working with Enterprise Stewardship for nearly 18 months.

We've accomplished a lot... shored up their marketing systems, launched an email newsletter, created a growing resource library, set up automations, and so much more.

Last year, they invited me to their home base in Wichita, Kansas, where I got to tour a manufacturing business they set up in a maximum security prison and learn from them how they have implemented their business framework in a wide variety of organizations.

What they are doing is grounded in purpose and points people to Christ. ❤️

I often get welled up hearing their stories and how they've helped other businesses do good work with great success.

In fact, I just watched a video of the founder, Pete Ochs, giving a talk at a conference, and ended up in tears because of his vulnerability and zest for Jesus.

This is exactly the type of client I love working with.

This past fall, they asked me to rebuild their website from the ground up.

Months of video calls, heads down sessions, almond milk lattes, keystrokes and clicks later, she's live. ✨

You can now visit Enterprise Stewardship's new website and take a look around!

https://www.enterprisestewardship.com

Since going live last week, we've seen immediate improvements in website health and SEO. 🤓

I'm looking forward to seeing how this new site supports them in their work!

It's an honor to work with Pete, Mark, Samantha, and the whole Enterprise Stewardship team.

✨ 2025 ✨

Am I too late to the game in posting a recap? 🫣

It’s been a wild end-of-year with new projects, new clients, and a cool volunteer opportunity. So I took a holiday break and am just now back in my spinny office chair catching up.

2025 was a year of transition, trusting, and growth. I learned a lot and got to help some pretty incredible people.

Grateful for what happened and looking forward to what’s next! 2026, let’s gooo!!!! 😎

I had the honor of visiting my son's class this morning to talk about promo videos! 🎬

These bright middle schoolers are creating promotional videos to encourage people to visit their newly innovated planets. This project is so cool because it involves creative thinking, a smart skillset, math, science, and art. The best kind of project!

We talked about the marketing funnel, what promotional videos are (with fun examples), the objective of the video, target audience, the importance of evoking emotion, styling, and calls to action.

It was a fun 20-minute crash course! Then the whole class stood and sang and blessing over me. 🥰 It was a lovely experience and such an honor to be invited!

I'm cheering you on, you clever students! 👏

Most small business owners only think 12 months ahead…
but the brands who grow the strongest are the ones who learn to read the early signals happening right now.

In the next edition of The Marketing Minute, I’m sharing how to plan long-term (3–5 years) with clarity, confidence, and strategy, rather than guesswork.

This one will help you prepare for the future of marketing no matter where you are in business today.

Can you believe there are only 10 weeks left in 2025? 😳

Before we blink and it’s the new year, take a moment to pause and plan your final push.

Here are a few ideas:

1️⃣ Reconnect with your best customers. Send a note of appreciation or a small thank-you gift.

2️⃣ Revisit your top-performing product or service and build a quick year-end promo around it.

3️⃣ Refresh your marketing. Update your Google listing, post something heartfelt, or share a behind-the-scenes look at your business.

4️⃣ Start planning now for your 2026 marketing campaigns so you can hit the ground running come January.

You’ve put in the work this year. Now it’s time to finish strong and set yourself up for even greater momentum next year. I'm cheering you on!
