IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU

If you're anything like me, you've got big dreams. You've also probably encountered at least one road block or challenge along the way - because legitimizing your independent venture will take guts, determination, and a whole lot of Google business searches.

FEATURED story

The Mentor Sessions

I remember my first year in business, and just how difficult it was to navigate the waters of entrepreneurship. From attracting my ideal client, figuring out my pricing, getting plugged in with solid creative community, and having confidence in myself - I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of two mentors in particular. Five years into turning a pipe dream into a reality, and I want to do the same for you.

It’s nice to meet you.

Hailing from the deep south, I started my design studio in Dallas, Texas out of a pursuit of freedom in my life. I wanted to build a career that allowed me to stretch my creative muscles, meet other ambitious business owners, and work from anywhere in the world.

FOLLOW ALONG @DROPCAPDESIGN 

 
In just a few days I’ll be heading to the Bay Area to become certified with the Enneagram. Not that I think a piece of paper matters much, but the further along I go in my career, the more I realize that the human component of storytelling is what sets my heart on fire and initially led me to branding. I love hearing people’s stories, dreams, and ambitions. I love brainstorming ways to get out of a rut or pursue something terrifying and wonderful. As much as I pull from every book and resource I can, I want to go just a bit further and take a full week away to study and reflect before bringing the whole experience back to share with you. The Enneagram has been my outlet for connecting with others in a deeper way and has allowed me to understand that we’re all experiencing life, creativity, and connection differently. I love that my interests and passions can still surprise me, and that there’s always room to grow or add a new skill to the toolbox. Here’s to breaking out of the box ✨
A work in progress - I’m always playing around with the curves, trying to get that effortless fluidity 🖤
Drop Cap Design gets a new home in Bozeman next to some pretty awesome women! So excited to be a part of @skyorowomen ✨
So excited to reveal the new brand for @copyuncorked! This was such a fun project to work on from the very beginning and I love how the business concept so cleverly flowed through every aspect of the brand. This is one reason why I love designing alongside incredible copywriters, because the two complimentary skill sets align so perfectly when executing an idea. Kaitlyn is a dream to work with and is going to be working with Drop Cap a lot this year! Go give her some love and check out her new website to snag your copy of her master branding checklist! @copyuncorked
In the final weeks of designing @modernhuntsman Volume 03 and I can’t wait to share the newest edition! Designing a publication is such a process - combining stories from so many different contributors and organizing it in a way that feels cohesive and follows a narrative path, but the end result is always worth the effort 🍃
