Happy Monday! Instead of letting the day or week run me, I opened up @clickup and chose myself. I love that for me. What is one thing you can map out so it doesn’t take up so much space in your brain this week? Do hashtags even work anymore? . . . . . . #mycreativebiz #creativeentrepreneur #creativelifehappylife #womeninbusiness #projectmanagement #wellbalancedwoman #creativebusiness #entrepreneurlife #femaleentrepreneur #savvybusinessowner 
Happy Mother's Day!!! Happy I found a reason for our matching outfits from @target 💕☺️ Spamming more in my stories 💖💞

WOOHOO! It’s Moodboard Monday — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In looking at this one from a brand development perspective, a few quick thoughts on how this could translate into a brand:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The main color featured, similar to the Pantone would translate into key clothing colors worn for the brand photography, used prominently in the graphics as a background, part of a pattern or otherwise. A good secondary would be a lighter hue in the same family.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What industry do you think would use this board as part of it’s branding? 
Happy first day of the month, Happy April, Happy Spring, encouraging blessings as fresh as the floral blooms and be covered in grace & power like the pollen on our cars in Georgia. (: Sometimes you only need one--one day to make a fresh start. And/or a one page website to make your value known and more accessible. Featuring a one-page website design, created using @Showit -- a WordPress integrated, scale-able website content platform. For some, a one-page website is all you need, like when you’re already doing the work offline (like @thekimberlywillis) and wanting to make it simple to connect with your clients where they are and in the way they need YOUmost. Got your affirmations & prayers handy? Perfect. Now, what’s something you’re grateful for from Q1/Last Month/Last Week/This morning? :) Consider it all joy. Happy to see you around here on IG again soon! 
"What do you think about blogging?" -- this is my new favorite question during strategy & consultation calls. And haha the cringe I sometimes get to this question! :) I love it, because then I get to share about the different ways that we can think of a blog as a way to make your website WERK! for you. With less worry about how often you should post and more about the VALUE of what you post. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A blog is a direct way to update your website, tie multiple and relevant keywords to your brand via your website, and great for SEO (your site will rank higher if it's updated frequently). And like adding a new page or editing a headline, posting a new blog post can serve the same function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If your website (@showit, @WordPress, @Squarespace, @Wix, etc) comes with the ability to post blog posts, you can officially view it as a TOOL in your virtual home online office. And this post I'm summing up some posts you can create on your blog to REPURPOSE, Extend Your Brand’s Story, Share Your Expertise, & Educate your clients/customers on the steps in their journey before & after working with/buying from you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So let’s have a little fun, shall we? Swipe & catch some ideas. How does having a blog help your business? . . . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #brandstrategy #websitedesign #webdesign #contentmarketingtips #webdesigntips #bloggingtips #blogtips #bloglovin #showitdesign #wordpress #squarespacedesign #wixdesign #staycreative #creativepreneur #blackownedbusiness #womenwithplan #designersofinstagram 
*Alexa, play Destiny's Child - 8 Days of Christmas*. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mood board reset for my feed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been trying different "shifts" to allow me to be present with virtual learning and engage with design projects from an organic mode.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The practice is paying off (lol) with Christmas in the air, we've gone from Christmas tree decorating during slow moments of the day to prepping to bake a big Gingerbread Man (to see if he HOPS out of the oven, of course! LOL) and just being in tune with the peace and love that can come with this season. And I say this with my own tiny burdens in my heart. This season has grown into one, where I feel loved, seen, & heard by God. So my walk just requires me to remain patient and be ready to honor the call.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wow. This caption flowed out--all I really had was the Alexa part. So... Happy Holidays everyone! Hold strong to what matters <3 
Happy Monday, #createhers Today in my stories, I'm asking YOU what Qs you have about #webstrategy. Even if that first Q is "well...girl...what is it?". Here's a hint: it includes how your website, email marketing, instagram strategies, & brand design all work together to grow your audience, pitch brand collaborations, & monetize 🤣🤣 We may all use the same systems, but it's the HOW for me. A few lucky ones will get the first dibs on the launch of the legal shield (i keep calling it legal zoom) of the design world - Okgirlwhatsnext.com. So hop on over to my story! Excited to see if I get to help you'll make your next marketing strategy move, your best move! 
Its #worldmentalhealthday This is a little enclave im designing to give me some space in my house. I see you. It's more than flowers. Toxic positivity. Its real and its scary to go through alone. Your feelings are valid.. Seek the help. Buy the flowers. Write the book. Let something or someone not good for you go. Stop letting stuff live rent free in your head. Pray. Get professional help. You deserve to fight for your best you each day. Rooting for you & me. 🤩💕💪🏾 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessday Wallpaper, desk @target Paintings @tjmaxx Lamp @ohjoyco Flowers @publix 
Sharing @coolors.co Color Palette Generator. 💃🏾 During a recent coaching session, this tool helped my client spend more time creating their workbook content vs. getting stuck on how to keep the look cohesive. Understandable when you're just in that season of getting quality things out to your newer audience so you can LISTEN and pivot smarter.🙆🏾♀️ The @coolors.co website + apps are so helpful for selecting a quick color palette, that helps tie the visuals all together. You can: 💙 Generate your palettes 💚 Explore popular palettes 💛 Color picker 🧡 Pick palette from photo 💜 Create a collage 🖤 Make a gradient palette, Create a gradient & Explore gradients 💗 Check Contrast Once you have a color palette, you stick to it even through the colors in the images you use (or relevant photography you capture). Yes, having a brand developed and using those colors is the absolute ideal. But what if you want to deviate a bit for the sake of an influencer opportunity? Don't panic, or feel stuck. Get back to focusing on the quality of your content if you're already putting in the work yourself or with a small team. To help you figure out what color to start with, consider looking up color psychology since colors, like words, mean things. 😂. Think about who you're putting this in front of. What colors/words appeal to the solution they're seeking? How they want to feel? What other kind of quick solves could help you get back to focusing on the work?
