Hi! I’m Kelly.

There are so many so-called experts and advisers out there today that may have good tips and strategies for small business owners and entrepreneurs, but I often find gaping holes in their presentations, either in their use of technology or design. Often times, people will sell courses on designing a website, marketing your business online, or using social media. I go to check out their courses and am turned off because they are recommending things that are downright ugly, have clunky interfaces, and fail to make the experience for the end user seamless, easy on the eyes, and intuitive. Likewise, I find many designer products and services that are gorgeous eye-candy, but they don’t function like they should, aren’t up to current technology standards, and lack any indication of use of a solid marketing strategy. These are common issues, as most creative-types are right-brained, non-linear thinkers and most strategists are type-A, organized planners.

I have been blessed with strengths in both left and right-brain competencies in the areas of Technology, Design, and Marketing. I find that so many of my clients are women who want their business presence to not only look stylish, but to take advantages of the power that today’s accessible, inexpensive marketing technology has given us entrepreneurs. But, they often feel scared, unsure how to accomplish their goals, and behind the efforts of their competitors. They struggle to find someone who can understand their sense of style, and the need to put their business together in a neat, organized manner. They feel overwhelmed by the technology and put up a wall between themselves and the picture they have in their heads of what it would be to be stylish and smart with technology

My passion is to help these women (and men) empower themselves with the tools and knowledge to be the master of their own businesses, whether it’s in building their own website and effectively marketing it, learning what they need to know about purchasing new computers and mobile devices, setting up the best system for capturing and organizing customer email addresses, or selecting and designing a color palette and clear, consistent branding for their business.

I have passions that are an unusual combination. Many people come to me after they have had a bad experience with a graphic designer who may have creative differences, doesn’t have the skills to implement the marketing strategy for the great piece they just designed, or doesn’t complete projects on time and doesn’t return phone calls. Others come because they have struggled with a web designer who over-committed to a project and it turns out they really don’t know how to make the site work like it’s supposed to or didn’t lay out a clear scope of their work and ends up charging twice what you thought they would. I also work with a lot of people who are just getting their businesses started or have had homemade versions of their marketing materials for a long time and are now ready to take themselves to the next level. Whatever your challenges are, I absolutely love listening to a fellow business owner’s situation and ideas and helping them work out a solution that not only looks appealing, but solves a problem they are having and reduces the headache they have.

Glad to have you here!
