Helping you build a brand as legit as your business. Because showing up with confidence changes everything.

That’s how I felt at the start of my business. I was so busy building my systems, still working my 9-5, learning all the things about running a business (you want me to do what with my taxes?!?!), and serving clients, my brand fell to the back burner in a major way. 

I’d spend literal hours “after work” googling and searching for cohesive templates that I could make my own that would save me the time and headache of having to put everything together from scratch. Even as a brand designer myself, I just didn’t have the mental bandwidth or time, with everything else on my plate, to deal with architecting a meaningful brand for Huckleberry Creative. Plus, ask any designer or creative — it’s always harder (nigh, impossible) to create for yourself. 

Despite my best efforts, I never found anything I liked or could afford at the time. So I cobbled together a DIY brand that never felt quite right or quite like me. And when I tell you it impacted my confidence and ability to show up the way I wanted to, I mean it. I dreaded sending people to my website or putting together a lead magnet because my brand was so milquetoast and half-baked. 

I would have given just about anything for someone to swoop in and solve this problem for me. But no one did. And that’s why I created these templates. To save you from the hours of frustration and anxiety I went through.

My Story *or* How a Real-Life Brand Designer Struggled to Brand Her Business

I kinda fell into the corporate grind on accident.

I took a job at a local healthcare consulting firm when I moved back to my hometown and started a graduate program. I was an assistant and just looking for a gig to pay the bills while I went back to school.

Turns out, a Type A drive for perfection goes a long way in corporate environments, and I excelled in various roles as I moved up the ladder. It was fun… for a while.

But the truth is, I never really fit in in these places. I pretended I did at first, but over time, the politics and inauthenticity started to gnaw away at me.

So I decided to take the plunge and start my own thing. A studio that would give me the opportunity to operate within my zone of genius, help other entrepreneurs making their own “own thing,” and do it all with my special blend of snark, geekiness, and irreverence in tact. 

I am an experienced creative, writer, and marketer who helps busy entrepreneurs grow their brands by attracting the right customers with an authentic brand paired with a polished online presence.

I'm talking end-to-end high-impact branding and engaging websites. I take care of the strategy and the visuals so you can do what you do best — run your business.

In case you’re curious, I’ll let you know I’ve got bachelor’s degrees in English literature and journalism plus a master’s in strategic communication. Yes, I’m a nerd.

But the majority of my marketing muscle was developed in the field, learning on the job. I’ve spent nearly a decade on corporate marketing teams, writing about and promoting services across a wide variety of industries.

That's how I developed the know-how to bring you the strategic insights you need and the hands-on experience it takes to deliver high-quality work that doesn’t require a million edits.

Hey there. I'm Jess.
