  • My life in images ✨ IMG 2: I grew up in a small WI town about 45 minutes away from the Twin Cities. This was prom. IMG 3: I went to the University of Minnesota and received a Communications Degree with Minors in Fashion Studies and drinking beer. IMG 4: I worked as a Marketing Director for a small pool company in Minneapolis once I graduated. I would spend my free time finding images I loved on Pinterest & recreating them as desk quotes in Photoshop using tutorial videos so I could learn design. IMG 5: I headed SOUTH to Miami to attend graduate and art school at FIU x Miami Ad School. I fell in love with the people I met (some of them are my best friends to this day!), the artful taste of Miami, and creating for a living IMG 6: The PITCH. Miami Ad School didn’t teach us much (if you know you know LOL) but it did teach us how to pitch our ideas — one of my fav parts. IMG 7: I moved to TOKYO for 3 months to work for an ad agency! It was the TIME OF MY LIFE. I went completely on my own. It pushed me to trust myself and be exactly who I was. It was life-changing. IMG 8: I graduated Miami Ad School and moved to LA to write my thesis and work for an ad agency in Culver City for 3 months. IMG 9: After finishing my thesis and graduating from FIU my ex BF and I did Van Life! Our van didn’t have any electric, running water, etc…but damn did we make some memories! It was simultaneously the hardest time of my life but also one of the most exciting times. We had our business, Creatives in a Van, and I would work with clients on the road as we travelled the U.S. After a year we came back up north to support my family before my Dad went in to surgery for his cancer. Unfortunately my ex and I had a TERRIBLE breakup. Like, cops were called terrible. And I never saw him again. This was a pivotal moment in my life. I lost it all — My home, vehicle, business, dog — I basically had an identity crisis. I stayed at home and didn’t talk to anyone for a solid 6 months. I went through a huge internal shift during that time, which was exactly when I started High Moon Studio. High Moon Studio healed me. IMG 10: Today! Living my dream in LA — [cont in comments...]

  • I didn’t start making real money in my business until I started spending real money in my business. The reason may be a bit different than you think. Sure — I’ve always seen a return because I invest in people and tools that grow my business, but that’s not what we’re going to talk about today. Today we’re going to talk about mindset. Such a crucial part of business. If you can figure out how to “manipulate” your own mind into being a better business owner, you’re going to be a better business owner. Spending money in your business basically makes you not want to waste the investment. It makes you put in more work because there’s more on the line. If you’re not investing in your business, you don’t care about it as much because you have NOTHING INVESTED. It’s like a relationship. If you don’t invest in the relationship, you don’t really put it first...even if the other member knows how great it could be. You don’t put in the work to help it grow and strengthen because you don’t care about it. Vice Versa. Even if you won’t admit it. So you’re basically telling your business you don’t care about it when you don’t invest anything in it. Investing money in your business directly invests in your own mindset. Don’t be afraid. Trust. And get excited for the ride 🎢

  • I made $40,000 in 4 days. You want to know HOW, right? I’ve seen so many people on the internet claim these crazy numbers and shit. BRUH. Some do it in a scammy way. And it’s funny because a year down the line you notice those people aren’t a thing anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ From MY experience, the only way you’re going to get to this place authentically and sustainably is if you’re truly trying to HELP PEOPLE. Here’s the thing. I don’t think I’m above you. I don’t think you’re below me. I think we’re on the same level. You have skills I don’t, but I know I have skills you don’t…and I create products & services to share those skills WITH you. To help you. I’m strategic. I’m innovative. I’m a visionary. I’m a fuckin’ badass CEO. My job is TO MAKE PEOPLE MONEY. I make money…to make other people money. Makes sense, right? I don’t *love* leading with a money conversation because it tends to sometimes attract the wrong people, but now that I have your attention… IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. IF YOU LEAD WITH TRYING TO MAKE MONEY YOU’RE DOING IT ALL WRONG. There is no sustainable ‘quick fix’ to having a ballin’ bank account. It’s all about your brand. Start your business to HELP PEOPLE. Grow your business to HELP PEOPLE. Nothing else. Find solutions to your client’s problems. Over-value — give more than you receive, put your consumer at the forefront of your business and don’t stop working until each and every one of your clients are happy. Treat them like they’re your only clients. Actually give a shit. THAT‘S what will bring you to $40k weeks. It’s your mindset. It’s your values. Stop leading from a place of ‘How can I make more money’ and start leading from a place of ‘How can I help more people’ and see what happens. ✌🏼

  • How to launch a successful physical product 👇 1 — Make sure it’s ON BRAND (my fav saying). Does it fit your values as a company/individual? Does it fit with your brand stance? 2 — Create a consumer focused product. Make sure it’s something people would actually *want*. Research trends. Don’t just launch a product to launch a product. How will the product change someones life? 3 — Make it more than just a product. What’s the ‘why’ behind it? Can you build a community (#femalefounder), can you do it for a bigger cause (like how we donate to Black Girl Ventures with each order), can you make it more than *just* a product? Make it specific or it will get lost in the clutter. 4 — Get professional photos taken (PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SELL THINGS YOU HAVE NOT HELD IN YOUR HAND) and make sure the product pages on your website are designed for UX (user experience). You want a seamless process from start to finish. 5 — Make it ‘grammable. Entice your customers to share about it on their stories! Create a fuckin’ movement! 6 — Make sure it’s something you can keep up with. We drop ship our collection so it’s completely passive income 🙌 we don’t need to hold inventory. Maybe I should do a whole training on this? 7 — Give some out as freebies. Influencer marketing anyone? It works. If we were to release a new collection, what would you want to see?

  • Anyone else obsessed with progression? This girl is 🙋🏼‍♀️ Call it an enneagram 3 quality, a Scorpio trait, an oldest sibling attribute or an entrepreneur characteristic — I don’t care — I just know that progression is something I NEED in life. I had been feeling complacent for a long time, but today I woke up with a fire in my belly. A rush of excitement to jump out of bed, make myself an espresso and get to WERRRRK. I blame it on the Designer Training I released yesterday. In the best way possible. In all honesty, I haven’t been this excited for something in a long time. It’s new, it’s different, and I KNOW it’s going to help people, which is my all-time favorite thing (yep, you guessed it…I’m an enneagram 3w2 actually 😉). I’ve always loved mentoring, I’ve always loved aesthetics & design, and I’ve always loved business. This training literally brings in all three *starts crying*. If you are someone who is on the fence about this training, take it from me — DO IT. I’m the type of girl who puts her money where her mouth is. This is going to be the best training, well, ever. I have surprises, gifts, SO much value, and an incredible amount of love and brainpower ready for you. I am going to treat YOUR business like I do MY OWN. Your business baby is going to be an extension of my business baby, like fraternal twins. We will work together to build YOU the business of your dreams that, in turn, will help you build the LIFE of your dreams. I have scaled my business from 85k in my first year to what’s looking to be 300-500k this year by designing and following the lessons I’m going to teach you. I moved to LA. I furnished my dream apartment. I can fly wherever I want, whenever I want. I can invest $ I need to in my business without question. I can have nice wine in the fridge, 24/7 🍷 I hate talking about shit like this, but, seriously…we all have a vision of how our lives are going to look and mine is starting to actually come to life in front of my eyes. I want the same for you. Don’t just design a beautiful business, design a beautiful life. I’ll help. Link in bio to learn more about the designer training. Early bird pricing ends Sunday.

  • Learn how to make 6 figures as a brand + web designer in our *NEW* DESIGNER TRAINING! I resisted making a training for designers for far too long. I thought it was overdone; that my training would get lost in the midst of designer trainings already on the market. Then I stepped into my CEO power and acknowledged that was just not the case. My training style is different. It’s unique in that it’s authentic. It’s not recorded videos, or me trying to be perfect…it’s a real live class setting, but virtual…like college, but way cooler 😎 and you can bring wine 🍷 The training is for YOU. Not for me. So I structure it that way. You get to ask me questions throughout. Like, literally…in the middle of me teaching. We will pivot together into new topics that come up, and dive deep into each individual’s business like a case study. I will keep you accountable, and you will be there to remind me to hit ‘record’ each training so I don’t forget 😅 I am not a teacher who holds back. I tell you EVERYTHING. All my little secrets. I’m not scared. Once you step into your genius, you too will realize nobody else can steal your power. Your power is being YOU. And I will teach you just how to use it to your advantage (in the good way, not the bad way). This is stuff I never got taught in grad school. It’s a mix of design and business, because you can’t have one without the other. I see so many designers lack business skills, and others lack design skills…so I’m here to bring it all together and help you make 6 figures as a growing designer OR a brand new designer — it’s a great course for both. If you can book ONE client from this 2 month long intensive training, you will make your money back. I am taking 2 months off of client work to serve you in this because I want it to be THAT GOOD. I’m here to over-value, baby. You know that’s my middle name. What you get: — 40 (YES…FOURTY) lessons LIVE daily M-F via zoom so you can ask me specific questions with each training, LIVE — All live calls recorded for forever replays — Each mentee gets two 1:1 calls with me so I can personally get to know your business and your goals and help you individually [read more in comments]
