We did it, folks. We made it to Friday 🥂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some weeks that just feels like a big win in my book! So let’s celebrate! What’s one thing worth celebrating this week?! 👇🏻 I’d love to say CHEERS with you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week I checked two projects off my to-do list. (it’s kinda crazy to be working on a lot of my last 2020 projects now!) Andddd I just have to share the home page design of the new @showit website for @jkdesignfilm because Julia has been such a dream to work with, friends! 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are you celebrating today?! 
Coming to you from my bed where I’m watching this week’s bachelorette episode. 🌹 Anyone else sad that it’s not on Monday nights this season?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have small group on Tuesdays so that just does not work for me lol but oh well! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week started out rough. Some not-so-good news over the weekend and on Monday led to me not feeling good and I couldn’t get myself to focus at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But last night’s small group was exactly what I needed! It’s kinda crazy how two hours chatting with my fave community completely turned my mood around. I mean, I was SUPER productive today and just felt 100% better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I might be a little more introverted, but we all need time with our girls! I’ve always considered myself an extroverted introvert. 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ POLL: Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ALTERNATE POLL: Who should Tayshia end up with? 
Cheers to my amazing clients Lindsey and Marissa on their @showit website launches this month! 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both of these female business owners came to me looking for help with their brand’s visual presence. We ended up selecting different packages for both of them so I wanted to share a little bit about what we did! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First up, Lindsey! Lindsey is a fashion and home decor blogger from Indianapolis. She’s fairly new to the blogging game so she’s been doing it all on Instagram and @liketoknow.it but she knew that it was time to have her own website. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, Lindsey hired me for my branding essentials package to establish her brand’s colors, fonts, style, and logos. Plus, she hired me for my blogger website package! Bloggers, you don’t need as many content heavy pages as other businesses so I have a special package just for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next up: Marissa! Marissa is a fine art wedding and portrait photographer from Dallas. She was already a @showit user for her website but was ready to move beyond her DIY site. Marissa also booked my branding essentials package, but for her website she decided to go with my semi-custom experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s the semi-custom experience? I customize one of my Showit website templates for you! 🙌🏻 Marissa’s website started with my Julianne template, but honestly it looks pretty different from the original template because we made changes to the layout based on what was needed for her business! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both Lindsey and Marissa walked away with a beautiful and strategic new brand and website even though they booked different packages. My completely custom experience is typically my most popular, but I wanted to share about these other package options in case you didn’t know about them! 😊️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you have any questions about my website and branding design package, send me a DM! I’d love to answer your questions! 
hey hi hello 👋🏻 today is a BIG day for my little business! Any guesses?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s officially been TWO years since I walked away from my old agency design job to start MK Design Studio. In those two years I’ve been blessed with the best clients (somehow I’ve almost worked with 100 different business owners, what?!) 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To anyone reading this, thank you for your support! Whether we’ve worked together or not, I appreciate you being here. I don’t think I’d be where I am in business today without the community of cheerleaders I have on this app! Swipe through the photos to see why I do what I do! ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To celebrate my two year biz anniversary, I’d love to hear what you’re celebrating this week. Even if it’s something small, let’s celebrate the little things too! 👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ps — shoutout to Upwork for bringing me my first clients two years ago. 
Do you update your website seasonally? 🍂 Recently my wonderful client @amandazurface had new brand photos taken with her photographer @rachaelleighphotos. The new pictures are absolutely perfect for fall and winter! I’m talking all the sweaters, blankets, and pumpkins! 🎃 It’s been so fun updating Amanda’s website and marketing with these new photos. When we first designed Amanda’s website (what you see in this post), it was June! So all her photos were a little more spring and summer inspired. But now, when you go to Amanda’s website you’re greeted with the perfect fall shot! Updating photos on your website seasonally is a great way to change things up and stay relevant. Whether or not you take new photos with the seasons, I recommend updating photos on your website each quarter. ✨ How often do you take new photos for your business? I’d love to hear what works for you! 
As a web designer I tend to put updating my own website on the back burner, anyone else? 😬 But as we’re getting closer to the end of 2020, I’m getting closer to my own website redesign timeline and I can’t wait! I’ve started looking back on projects from this year because there are so many that aren’t in my portfolio yet, like this gorgeous rebrand and website design for Emily of @modadesigns. I kinda feel like these gorgeous gold logos are forever going to be one of my favorites! 💕 PS - I wouldn’t mind working with another interior designer next year, so if ya know someone send them my way 😉 
COMING SOON TO A BROWSER NEAR YOU ✨ I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for three upcoming brand + website launches! Swipe to see these beautiful home page designs 👉🏻 These @showit websites are launching soon for @marissamphoto, @tracyparrett, and @abovethel.a.w_style and I cannot wait! 🎉 Help me celebrate the upcoming launches of these three amazing business owners! 👇🏻
