simplicity is essential

In one sentence, tell me, who are you?

In one sentence, tell me, what do you do?

In one sentence, tell me, why does it matter?

Mandatory brevity makes you really have to think about your answer, doesn’t it?

I repeatedly encounter people who have a good handle on what they do and who they do it for but they have a hard time communicating it succinctly. And even more, they struggle to articulate why it matters.

I’ve talked before about how much noise there is out there and how important it is to stand out and be a clear signal in that fog. I think a big key to that is saying less.

Not necessarily short content — rather, get to the point and stick to it…


Happy Creating,
Jodi & Kim

The hustle culture is something that tends to be glorified in the online

I took my childhood urge to make things and turned it into a thriving career as a designer and artist.

For just shy of 3 decades, I’ve been helping clients with everything from logos and print materials, to websites, apps, album covers, merchandise, displays, marketing promotions and more. I’ve worked with everyone from solopreneurs and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, indie musicians and even a few rock stars.

I’m interested in doing great work and helping exceptional people like YOU bring your visions to life. If that sounds good, follow my Fresh Squeezed, essential ideas about branding, marketing and growing a small business.

Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing my ongoing journey and things I am learning that may also help you reach your goals.
