Sydney has two kids, Declyn and Dayton

Sydney loves coffee, but only with creamer, so does she really?

Sydney got married in 2019.

After leaving teaching, she started Rouse to be her passionate, creative outlet.

They lived in Chicago for 3 years and are now home in Fort Worth, TX

Sydney thrives outdoors staying in hotels, or visiting well designed restaurants.

A new baby, a break from teaching, and a mission to forge her own path brought founder Sydney to brand design, and ultimately, to Rouse. Her own personal journey of growth, faith, and just plain “getting up and getting after it” forms the foundation of her work—and she brings that same “equal parts grit and grace” energy to every design detail the studio crafts. Sydney prioritizes a solution and value-focused approach, honing in on each client’s unique story, challenges, and desired brand experience for a holistic, turnkey-style process. Rouse has a deep understanding of hospitality and service, which manifests in an upscale, sophisticated design style and ultimately an immersive aesthetic experience for her clients’ audiences.

Upscale meets welcoming design style

Get that “welcoming upscale” feel

We bring the joy back into balance (trust us, we know how hard it can be to find that harmony between work and life!) We see balance as something to celebrate instead of stress over—and take every opportunity to focus on gratitude and faith.
