I like to make sure my coffee chats aren't just "soooooo what do you do? how's life? k byeee" But rather "What are you working on? Who do you serve best? What kind of referrals you're looking for? How can we help each other? Do you need my services, do I need yours? Do you offer a referral fee or affiliate program (join mine below!) What opportunities are there for us to collaborate or co-promote?"
Coffee Chats, coined in the Made For Mothers Virtual Village, I think, are like 20-30 minute coffee dates where we get to know each other's business, build a relationship, and figure out ways we can help each other gain visibility, refer clients, or work together! OR just become friends LOL :)
Seriously love chatting with new friends, potential leads, or network referral partners but I HATE when I get off and we just never think about each other again :( SO—Here is a little quick touch, summary of what I do and a reminder of how we can work together!!
A brand without copy is just pretty. Copy without design is just words. And a website without strategy behind it is just something you keep making excuses for. I don’t want you to worry about any aspect of your website. I’ll take care of everything — from the words to the website to the design tying it all together — so your newly-launched website works (and doesn’t need to constantly be redone).
We’ll start with brand strategy [the foundation that holds you up], brand design [circle, “the logos”] [what people actually see] and implementation [so everything matches everywhere] that turns your presence into something that sells, tells your story, and builds trust before you ever say a word.
Brand Strategy A deep-dive into your business, audience, and positioning — so every design decision supports your goals.
Logo Suite A variety of logos, so your brand feels cohesive everywhere (from socials to your signage).
Color Palette & Fonts A complete visual system of perfectly-paired colors and fonts that build instant recognition for your brand.
Brand Guidelines Your personal brand rulebook — so you never have guess [or reinvent the wheel] which color, font, or logo to use where again.
On-Brand Social Media Templates So your brand feels consistent [build that trust, baby!] everywhere you show up.
Brand Voice Development Using the brand foundation we already built, we’ll define exactly how you sound — so every word on your site feels intentional and completely you
Website Copy Clear, personalized copy that tells your brand story and gets your readers excited to hire you
Social Bio An Instagram bio rooted in your brand messaging that tells people exactly who you are, who you serve, and what to do next
Next, I’ll write strategic website copy in your voice, for your audience — so your potential clients don’t just *like* your website, they stick around to read it and inquire.
Custom Website Design A mobile-friendly, cohesive design built on your brand and copy that gives “intentional,” “trustworthy,” and “worth the investment.” – nothing like a template someone else is also using
Platform Build We’ll develop your website on the platform that actually makes sense for your business [Showit, Squarespace, Wix, or Shopify] so you can manage it yourself without calling for help every time something changes.
Basic SEO Setup I’ll make sure your website’s headings, page titles and descriptions, and images are set up correctly and make sense to readers and Google.
Integrations Your booking system, contact forms, and email marketing connected and ready to go so your website works as a business tool from day one
Launch Support A walkthrough of your finished site so you know exactly how to update, maintain, and grow it without needing an expert on call (but if you want to hire me every time, I won’t argue!)
Finally, we’ll complete your project and bring it all together in a custom website you can share with pride.
Thinking about a client instead? Here's how you can refer and earn!

Know a business owner whose brand is giving "I made this in Canva at midnight" energy? Start a group chat, shoot me a DM, or make an email introduction so I know to look out for their inquiry.
Once your referral signs a contract and officially books their project, you are locked in for your reward. No hoops, no fine print, just good karma and cash.
As soon as they are booked I am sending you $200 as a thank you for trusting me with someone in your circle. Because a referral is not just a lead, it is a voucher for my work, and that means everything.
Here's how it works: fill out the application below to answer how you think you would fit into a business owners journey before, during, or after a branding project! I am sending this strategically to my clients (and featuring it on my website, stalk it here) for when they need to see it most. Maybe it looks like, "Hey, I don't think you're quite ready for strategic branding just yet, go see [you?] first and get [what you need] and then come back and we will be SO READY." or maybe, "YAY! You have a fresh new, strategy driven brand and a website that works! Here are a list of people you need to see to make sure your brand is [implemented, shared, operated, marketed] in the best way possible!" If you see yourself fitting into any part of this process, or you just want your name on my referral partners list-- fill the application out below!!
