• THAT OUT OF OFFICE MOOD. 😂 I’m officially out of the Studio and we’re off to explore the last frontier! I know I just hopped back on my IG game, but I’m signing out of my biz account again until the 16th! Don’t want to catch any of *those* entrepreneur feelings (yes, you know the ones 😉) and instead be completely present in the moment with my hubs. And rest. Lots of that too. — If you just realllly care and want to follow along on our Alaskan adventures, head over here 👉🏼 @abigailmdyer P.S. Let’s be clear — I said I was avoiding IG so I don’t deal with any possible entrepreneurial pains. But I can’t be away from social completely, like duh. How else would I keep up with The Jonas Brothers tour? The latest news on Tyler + Gigi? And heaven forbid I miss any drama involving the Royals! 😱 — (It’s a guilty pleasure. It brings me joy. It’s fine, I’m judging me too.) ✌🏼

  • A fellow designer asked why I don’t share before and after designs. Here’s why I don’t: ✖️our business/brands evolve. To share a before feels like it discredits that growth. ✖️we all start somewhere and we all can’t afford custom or designs by an expert. I never want to undermine that feeling. ✖️and lastly, I feel like it can be hurtful to a previous designer. I’m not here to make another designer feel sad that their work isn’t being used any more. I’m here to make my client happy and do what’s best for her business. I can do that without bringing down another person’s work. — So here’s what I do instead: ✔️describe the issues or roadblocks my client was facing before we starting working together. ✔️bring light onto how new designs will make these issues disappear. ✔️ discuss how their new brand + website has grown their business. — Doing this brings light to my clients growth from before / after we started working together. — P.S. Here’s a closer look on this final primary logo. Those subtle details still got me 🤤 (!!!)

  • I took a break from my business’ IG for 7+ weeks. Truthfully, I didn’t know how to manage my relationship with this app — how do I continue to use something that brings in the majority of my income, while it’s also beyond toxic to me? — I’ve done social detoxes before. But I’d wind up right where I was before — defeated and filled with anxiety. I needed a solution that would work long-term for me. It was such a challenge. Whew. I’m going to remember these 7 weeks for a very long time. They were that life-giving to me in so many ways. — Here’s some of the nuggets I’ve been learning: (1) I can still be empty while my hands are full. (2) Sometimes my biggest want isn’t my greatest need. (3) Jesus can do immeasurably more than I can hope or imagine. (4) The real power of prayer. (5) How extremely evident it is that Jacob and I are suppose to be right where we are in Huntsville, AL. — I’m excited to get back to enjoying this app in a way that encourages/inspires you, grows my business, and brings me joy in a *healthy* way. 🙌🏼

  • 🎉 Happy launch day to @laurendobish! This brand + @showit website has been a labor of love and I’m so glad we can share it and Lauren’s gorgeous work with the world. 😍 I never covet anyone’s job because I truly believe I have the best job. But Y’ALL! She’s a dog (and wedding) photographer and that really truly might be the best job I’ve ever heard of. — Congratulations Lauren! Can’t wait to see how this new brand + website benefits your business for years to come! 🤩 #brandsbyadds
