And here is my first official blog post. It only took me 6 hours to write, even with the help of AI.

As I write this blog piece and introduce you to how my brain works and why I’m creating this branding and consulting website, I realize it’s because, like many of you, I am a creative through and through. For all those out there who are OCD, ADHD, and anything else that makes us do 5 billion thi...

So I did a thing, I took the leap. I am excited and a little scared.

In any given week, I receive 3-4 inquiries from fellow creatives, asking if we can chat and if they can bend my ear, and most often than not, I say absolutely! I hear questions like, “What can I do to stand out?” What do I need to create a successful company, "Will you come visit my venue and tell me what are things I need," “How can I make my venue thrive and get noticed in the market?” “What can I do better on my website?” The list goes on. So, I chat, I listen, and I advise. Over the last couple of years and through this process, I realized I have a knack for branding and a deep and knowledgeable understanding of what it takes to succeed in our industry.

That’s why I’m beyond excited to announce the launch of my second company, Echelon Creative & Co. As an entrepreneur, I’ve always had a passion for helping others find their voice, their path, and, most importantly, their ideal client. For some time now, I’ve been dreaming of creating a branding company—not one that builds websites or logos, but one that helps you discover what truly makes your brand unique. What makes you tick and want to be in this market and do better each year.

This added new venture is about doing what I love most: leading our industry and guiding my fellow creatives, teaching, and learning, whether you’re just starting out or looking for a fresh approach to your brand. My goal is to help you elevate your game with honesty and clarity, providing practical advice to keep you competitive in this ever-changing market.

I’m taking the leap and giving myself the space to create something unique that fulfills me and gives back to an industry that I have come to love and admire. Whether you need a branding facelift or a deeper dive into your brand’s identity, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s take this journey together and make sure your brand not only stands out but thrives.
So, without further ado, Welcome to Echelon, my friends!!
