Monday Morning Creative Studio

Something a little different 💕

Some of this is personal work and some is for clients! But I love any opportunity I get to create some handmade digital art 🥰

Hey, I have a message 🩷 if you’re using an AI logo for your business, you cannot legally own that logo.

That means, if someone wants to use the exact same logo as you, you can’t do anything about it. They’re allowed to use it.

I used to talk a lot about this with Canva logos, but you’re using something that is open source and free to the public and it cannot be copyrighted.

And business owner to business owner, that’s not a great foundation to put under your business.

Because yes, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Branding is the foundation of your business and its marketing. It’s what speaks to people before they even meet you or walk through your doors.

But there’s also something much deeper you need to hear.

Using an AI logo means you could risk losing your potential client’s or customer’s trust.

Yes it’s cheap. Yes it’s quick. But it also shows people that you don’t invest in your business (either with your time or your money).

We can collectively change this as business owners - try to do it yourself, hire an intern to design it for you, or pay a professional who will help your brand make you money 💕

SUMMER VIP DAYS ARE BACK!

Need a rebrand or website design quickly? Don’t want to use the same AI look that everyone else is going for? 👀

VIP Days are the solution. I spend 6-8 hours bringing your brand or website to life in a way that is strategic and customized to your business.

The bonus? You get free training and guides on how to use your new brand and website so you feel equipped to move forward and market yourself with confidence.

Summer VIP Days are back and spots are limited 🎉 click the link in the bio to apply.

Note: we no longer offer website services to client without a professional brand design - any AI branding will also be rejected 😬

This is what happens when your brand finally catches up with your business ✨

This is STILL one of my top 5 favorite transformations 🤩 was ready for the next step in their business, so Keaton and Ashley came to me for a VIP Day and the rest is history. Now they’re rocking markets, in multiple stores, and their brand is holding strong 💕

A brand that actually looks and feels like the business you’ve built changes everything. How you market, pitch, and confidently show up is all connected to how you feel about what you’re showing the world.

Can I tell you about a feeling I know way too well?

It’s the one where someone asks for your website or Instagram handle, and instead of feeling excited to share it you kind of wince and say “oh it’s still a work in progress.”

Your business has grown and your work is better than ever but your brand is the same thrown together look from when you were just getting started.

(Yes, even though I’m a designer, I have still been in this place as a business owner)

I see this so often with talented, established women in business. Doing the work but showing up with a DIY logo and colors that they picked out because they just needed something.

The brand doesn’t match the business anymore, and deep down they know it.

If this landed for you, stay tuned. I have something coming later this week just for you 🫶🏻

Let’s have a discussion in the comments 💕

Keep it kind 🫶🏻

Okay so you like your brand, but you know it just needs ✨something else✨

That’s exactly the position Vanessa was in with her home bakery .

It’s okay to like what you’ve made in Canva (or even with AI) but ultimately you cannot legally own your branding if it’s created with them.

Sometimes you need a little extra strategy, planning, and designing to make sure you’re set up for success 💕

So we took the elements she loved (the color and the whisk) and made it her very own, including a hand-drawn whisk and a color palette that was picked special for her business.

I’m so happy to finally share the rebrand 💕 and thank you to Vanessa for trusting me with your vision 🥰 I’m a long time fan of her baked goods and getting to work with such a dear friend was a delight!

Also how stunning are these photos by ?!

Just another day as a multi-small business owner/full time stay at home mom/homeschool teacher

It’s not easy, but it worth every second 💕
