Every brand is transmitting, all the time. You don’t have to settle for mediocre design just because your budget is small business sized. Let’s talk.)
We help changemakers, purpose-driven organizations, and the teams behind complex ideas make sure what they’re putting into the world actually sounds and looks like them. I love helping small businesses figure out who they are and what they want people to feel and remember about them and then creating an identity around that. My personal goals include making great brands that support small business
It’s rarely ever about the thing you’re actually arguing about. 🕊️
Deborah Kantra Kat dives into the "sticky space" of conflict. When we stop fighting over the surface-level stuff and look at the deeper piece that isn’t being seen or heard, that’s where the transformation happens.
Deborah’s work is all about inviting us into those thresholds with joy instead of fear.

Ever had that "Why the f*** did I think this was a good idea?" moment in your creative work? 🫠
According to Deborah Kantra Kat, that feeling isn’t a sign to stop. It’s actually gold. It’s the moment right before you step into something bigger and unknown.
If you’re in the middle of a "messy gift" phase of your project, this conversation is your sign to keep going. (And p.s. Deborah shares the ultimate secret to ecstatic dance in this one, too!) 💃

The messy middle is where I tend to get most interested.
The part where the old thing doesn’t quite fit anymore, but the new thing hasn’t fully introduced itself yet. But that’s usually where the real work is happening.
That in-between place is where people start saying things like, “I know what I mean, I just can’t quite say it yet,” or “this used to work, but something feels off now.”
And I’m like… yes. That’s the doorway.
A lot of what we do at Wild Blackberry Studio lives there. In the untangling. In the questions. In the strange little process of helping someone move from “I can feel it” to “there it is.”
And I love that part.
So this year, I’m sharing more of the stories behind the studio. Starting with my very first client, right out of design school, who is also celebrating 13 years.
We’ve grown up together, in a very real way.
And we have a conversation coming soon that I’m honestly pretty excited to share.

The secret to ecstatic dance, according to Deborah Kat, is simple: when your eyes are closed, no one can see you.
That's the kind of permission she trades in. Deborah is a couples coach and host of the Better S*x Podcast, and our Vulture Chronicles conversation went to some genuinely good places. Creative edges. The 10 and 80 scale. What cats understand about flow that humans keep forgetting.

13 gets a weird little reputation.
A century or so of branding problems, apparently. But the “unlucky” thing is actually pretty new. Before that, 13 was tied to lunar cycles, transformation, and feminine creative power. Which honestly makes more sense to me anyway.
Because transformation has never felt particularly unlucky.
Uncomfortable sometimes? Sure. But necessary… almost always.
So naturally, 2026 arrives with 13 full moons, including a blue moon in May, right as I’m launching Lucky 13. And listen. I’m not building a business strategy exclusively around moon lore. I do still pay taxes and use Google Docs.
But still, I pay attention to timing like that.
This is also my 13th year leading Wild Blackberry Studio, which feels surreal to type out loud. Thirteen years of helping people translate the thing in their head into something another human can actually feel when they land on a website or pick up a pitch deck or hear them talk about their work.
And after all this time, the biggest thing I’ve learned is that good work deepens through relationships.
The strongest projects usually start with a conversation that turns into another conversation and eventually into years of shared context. You learn each other’s rhythms. The work gets clearer. Braver. More honest.
Some of you have been with me for a very long time. Some of you just got here and immediately felt familiar somehow. That part means everything to me.
Lucky 13 feels less like a launch and more like standing still long enough to notice what’s been built over time. Which, apparently, is my favorite kind of success. More soon.
Stop aiming for 50/50 in your relationships. ⚖️
Deborah Kantra Kat shares why the "perfect split" is a myth that actually hurts our partnerships. Some days you’re at 10%, some days you’re at 80%. The magic isn’t in being equal; it’s in the check-in: "Where are you on the scale today?"
When you both hit a low number at the same time? That’s when the kindness has to turn on.

"Seduction is just inviting someone to do what they already want to do." 🔥
In our latest Vulture Chronicle, Deborah Kantra Kat flips the script on what it means to lead, to create, and to connect. It’s not about manipulation; it’s about permission. Plus, we talk about her creative spirit animal: a white Persian cat with a lot of attitude and a very comfy couch. (Relatable, honestly.)

What if the moment you think "why did I think this was a good idea" is actually the moment you're closest to gold?
That's just one of the things Deborah Kat and I got into on the latest Vulture Chronicles. Deborah is a couples coach, ta***ic educator, and host of the Better S*x Podcast, and she has a gift for inviting people into the conversations they've been avoiding.
We talked about seduction as an act of permission. About what cats know that the rest of us are still learning. About ecstatic dance, creative edges, and what it looks like to build a 27 year partnership that actually works.
The white cat said yes. Come find out why.

Structure should feel like support.
Because without it, the work has a way of leaning on you for everything. You’re the one remembering, deciding, and keeping things moving every time you come back to it. Even the small tasks carry more weight than they should, because nothing is really holding its place.
That kind of pressure builds quietly. You don’t always notice it right away, but it’s there—in how much you have to stay on top of, in how closely you have to hold everything together.
When structure is doing what it’s meant to do, that pressure starts to ease back. The work holds its shape a little more. Your attention isn’t pulled in as many directions. You can step away and come back without feeling like you’re starting over.
There’s more space to think. More room to move.
Where in your work are you still the one holding everything up?

What good structure actually feels like is surprisingly simple.
It shows up in the moments you don’t have to think so hard. When you’re not re-deciding the same thing for the third time in a week. When the direction holds, even after you step away and come back to it.
There’s less of that mid-task pause where you’re trying to figure out what goes where. Things have a place. They stay there.
And because of that, the work starts to move differently. There’s less interruption between steps. You’re still doing the same work, but it doesn’t ask as much from you just to keep it going.
That’s usually the first shift people notice.
