My Story

For years, I grew my business almost entirely through referrals and repeat clients. Much of my work happened quietly behind the scenes—helping entrepreneurs, experts, leaders, and organizations gain clarity around who they are, how they communicate, and why people should choose them.

On the outside, it looked successful.

And in many ways, it was.

But internally, I knew something was missing.

I had evolved, but my public brand no longer reflected the true depth of who I had become or the value I was capable of bringing to others. Unless you worked with me, you would never know that I was so much more than a graphic and website designer.  

If I’m honest, I had not fully stepped forward.

I hesitated to plant my flag boldly and publicly express the deeper work I felt called to do. I stayed safer behind referrals, reputation, and client work rather than fully building a brand I deeply believed in myself.

Until now.

That realization became the foundation for Brand With Bravery™.

Because I know firsthand the cost of staying underrepresented:

• missed opportunities
• inconsistent visibility
• diminished confidence
• and the quiet frustration of knowing your public presence doesn’t match the level you actually operate at.

But I also know the freedom and momentum that come when clarity changes everything.

When your brand finally feels aligned…
When your message reflects the real value of your work…
When you stop trying to sound impressive and start communicating what’s true…

…visibility becomes less about performance and more about service, stewardship, and meaningful impact.

Today, I help experienced, evolved, purpose-driven entrepreneurs, experts, and leaders gain the clarity, positioning, and courageous visibility needed to step into their next season of influence and impact.

Together, we uncover what makes your work distinct, articulate the value you bring, and build a brand presence that helps the right people recognize you, trust you, and confidently say yes.

This work is deeply personal to me because I know what it feels like to have more inside you than the world currently sees.

And I also know what becomes possible when you finally allow yourself to be fully seen.

Standing in a Field Full of Flags

A Little More Personal

I live in San Diego with my husband, Michael, and our daughter, Michaela. They are two of my greatest gifts and biggest encouragers.

Michael and I met dancing Salsa, and Michaela made me a “one and done” mom at 41 — which has kept life full, fun, and wonderfully meaningful ever since. I love "Girl Days" with her and our regular walks at the beach.

We all love dancing in the living room, good movie nights, and singing in our church choir together.

A few fun facts:

• I’m an Air Force brat and lived overseas for 7 years in 3 countries (England, Germany, and Holland), plus 7 states.
• I co-founded and ran a nonprofit outreach ministry called Women of Purpose with Danna Demetre for 12 years. We put on over 55 events.
• I created an 80-page photo book for my parents 65th anniversary in 2024 called Legacy of Love. It is now a family heirloom.
• I’ve seen “Jack” of Jack in the Box without his head — he is a celebrity at their conference every year.
• I had a toilet paper collection while living in Europe as a kid. (Don’t ask. Or maybe do. It's so different over there!)
• I’m a lifelong learner, book lover, and deep-conversation person through and through.
