It's finally here! Design Spirit is LIVE! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Friends, I have poured my heart and soul into this program and I couldn't be more thrilled to be sharing it with you! It's going to COMPLETELY change your visual marketing game and make you feel more confident than ever in your design skills 💪🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Design Spirit is a crash course for growth-minded entrepreneurs who want to create consistent, professional quality everyday marketing designs through DIY-friendly design techniques. I'll help you activate your Design Spirit by connecting you with the right tools, knowledge, and exercises to design like a pro. And it alllllll starts with developing a keen eye for design, which is a LEARNED SKILL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, design is something that can be taught, meaning no matter what industry you’re in, you can learn how to expertly create designs that attract more clients while saving you hours of time 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You don’t have to get a college degree or use fancy software to create awe-inspiring designs. You just need to see how design elements work together like the experts do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s not magic. It’s a METHOD, and I’m here to teach it to you in Design Spirit! ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PLUS, a very special BONUS! Students who enroll during the FIRST WEEK will receive a beautiful multi-page workbook template...your new go-to layout for your own course worksheets, client questionnaires, and beyond. And it's *completely* customizable to your business using Canva or InDesign 👍🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. I'm even designing the workbook template based on exactly what you need -- you'll get to vote on page layouts in the Design Spirit Facebook group (yes, there's a community, too!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, if you're ready to activate your Design Spirit and elevate your visual marketing... I'd love to see you inside the course. Full details are my bio link! 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your support and excitement surrounding my new program! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you ❤️
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya... ♥️ . After months of developing my vision, preparing the incredible five modules worth of lessons, and a whole lotta joyful designing, my brand new online program is almost ready to be in your lovely hands and changing your visual marketing game. . Design Spirit launches TOMORROW! 💃🏻 . I know you'd expect me to say this... but truly, Design Spirit isn't like other design courses. Rather than teach you how to create a one-time logo or social media graphic, I'm teaching you the method I use to create *any* visual element you need in your business. From pricing guides to Instagram graphics to opt-in worksheets, you'll know how to use the principles of design to create effective compositions that speak directly to your audience and look consistent and cohesive across all your marketing platforms. . If you're ready to look like a pro (even with a DIY-er budget), save time and energy (and stop tirelessly tinkering with your designs), and gain confidence (knowing that your visuals look cohesive and consistent), then Design Spirit may be just the thing you've been waiting for 🙌🏼 . I'm also giving away a BONUS template for anyone who signs up during the first week. If you're on my email list, you already know what it is...! And if you're not, well, I'd love to have ya (just saying!) but you'll also find out here on Instagram tomorrow 😉 . Now back to my to-do list as I finish putting the finishing touches on everything. See you TOMORROW for the big reveal! 😍 P.S. Look at those hand veins popping out! That’s some intense design work goin’ on there 😅 . 📸 @lapantaphotography
I'm incorporating so many visual examples into Design Spirit (my new online program launching Nov 20!), to help my students truly understand the design principles and how they can use them effectively in their everyday designs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the process of assembling everything for my course, it's been fun to get to revisit client projects and highlight the marketing design work that I've loved so much over the years. This project is one of my all-time faves ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Self-Alchemist's new brand and website isn't live quite yet, but in the meantime this is a peek at their logo and one of their patterns that I'm obsessed with 😍 . . . . . . . . . . . #alliemariedesign #branddesign #brandstylist #branddesigner #typography #creativebabes #inspofinds #womensupportingwomen #creativeladydirectory #elevatecultivate #capturemycraft #creativewomen #gritandvirtue #calledtocreate #bandofun #mycreativebiz #tnchustler #ohwowyes #fueledwithheart #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeishappy #thegramgang #smallbusinesslove #herestothecreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #createandcultivate #peoplescreative #creativityfound #fwportfolio #whitespacefall
Well, the skies are gray and we have snow on the ground... yup, it's definitely November in Minnesota! ❄️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although I do miss the warmth already, this month will still bring lots of lovely things. Decorating for the holidays for the first time in our house, Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!), and this year... Design Spirit! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YES! My new online program, Design Spirit is launching on November 20! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been working on this course since May and it's been a long and challenging and wonderful journey. I feel like I'm about to give birth to something really, really special. Something that will help you not only polish your design skills but will also help improve the quality and effectiveness of your visual marketing as a whole. And basically make you feel like a total boss 💪🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, let me catch you up... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe design is a learned skill. When you have the right design approach, perspective, and instincts, you can create awe-worthy designs that are purposeful and strategic without having to drain your marketing budget 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is where Design Spirit comes in. Inside the program, you’ll have exclusive access to the same framework I use to create marketing designs for everyday use. You’ll learn about the core principles of design and design tools like color, fonts, style guides, and photography, and how to use them to create engaging, consistent, and effective designs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most important of all, you'll walk away with a confidence and a refined design eye that can be utilized to create any marketing material you need. Cue happy dance! 💃🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stay tuned for sneak peeks and more info about a special giveaway... so many of you have been asking for this and I'm super excited to be giving it away for FREE for all course students during the first week it's live. I can't WAIT! ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @lapantaphotography
So thrilled for my client @lapantaphotography and the launch of her new brand and website! Margo has been a Twin Cities photographer for over 14 years, and has a deep love of capturing the best in people and life as it is through her lens. She likes to say that she “shoots from the inside out.” And if you spend even a few minutes browsing through her photo galleries, you'll see she truly does ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We set out to create a visual brand that felt artistic and timeless, yet also approachable and fun. Her logo was inspired by Margo's unique and recognizable style -- she shoots with lots of untraditional angles and cropping. "I think it reflects life," Margo told me. Oh, my heart 💞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit Margo's site at www.lapanta.com to experience her beautiful new online presence for yourself 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, I was lucky enough to work with Margo earlier this fall, when she took my new branding photos for the launch of my refreshed website and when I announced my upcoming Design Spirit course. A big thank you to this lovely lady for not only trusting me with her visual brand but also sharing her incredible gift with me! ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . #alliemariedesign #fwportfolio #mnphotographers #typography #inspo #brandstylist #elevatecultivate #whitespacefall #creativityfound #thatsdarling #creativeladydirectory #capturemycraft #theeverygirl #creativewomen #branddesign #gritandvirtue #calledtocreate #bandofun #mycreativebiz #tnchustler #ohwowyes #fueledwithheart #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeishappy #thegramgang #smallbusinesslove #herestothecreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #createandcultivate #peoplescreative
“And so I just kept writing to myself.” - Kimberly Novosel, Loved ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meet my journal. She has been a new and lovely companion who has played a big role in my morning routine over the last month. If I wake up feeling anxious, journaling has physically helped me calm down and get centered. It's helped me make a better mind-heart connection on a daily basis. It's helped me give myself what I need, especially during this busy and at times overwhelming season I'm in ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now that it's November, I can say that Design Spirit, my new online program is launching THIS month (launch date announcement coming soon!). Holy buckets that's a scary thing to type 🙈If you've ever prepared for a big launch like this, you know it ain't for the weary. But what I *can* say with confidence is that making time to stay present and enjoy the process has been key. Creating with JOY is so important to me. And journaling has helped me stay focused on that ♥️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you journal? If you do, how has it affected your day-to-day? I'd love to heart! 👇🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #alliemariedesign #journalingforthesoul #branddesigner #makersandthinkers #gritandvirtue #calledtocreate #bandofun #tnchustler #fueledwithheart #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeishappy #creativityfound #thegramgang #smallbusinesslove #herestothecreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #createandcultivate #pursuewhatislovely #lifeofacreative #shareyourheart #bloomyellow #beingboss #thenativecreative #womeninbusiness #creativelifehappy #thedarlingmovement #theimperfectboss #theeverygirl #peoplescreative
Spending this Halloween doing a happy dance as we wrap up another beautiful brand! 💃🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comfortable. Interesting. Timeless. Artistic. Fun. From the moment we curated this mood board, this visual identity has been such a joy to work on! My client is a Twin Cities photographer who holds an extra special place in my heart — I've personally known her for a number of years, her work is incredible, her approach to photography is inspiring... and this is the first time she's invested in a professional visual brand for her business 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was honored that she chose me to collaborate with on a visual brand and website design! I was also honored for her to take my new branding photos (if you've visited my site lately, you may have noticed a new look!). Can't wait to reveal everything we've been working on for her business. Stay tuned... the official website launch announcement is coming very, very soon ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #moodboards #brandstylist #mnphotographer #visualbranding #brandingdesign #makersgonnamake #alliemariedesign #DScolor #gritandvirtue #calledtocreate #bandofun #designisinthedetails #mybeautifulmess #therisingtidesociety #tnchustler #ohwowyes #lovelysquares #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeishappy #bloomyellow #beingboss #createeveryday #creativityfound #thegramgang #wearethecreativeeconomy #peoplescreative #fwportfolio #womeninbusiness #makersandthinkers #inspiredbythis
"Loving yourself and believing in yourself involves protecting that place of inner belief and not allowing others to have access to that." -- from the incredible heart of @ashley.beaudin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My list of magical moments, incredible memories (!!), and golden nuggets of wisdom that I gained from @imperfectbosses Camp... well, it's endless. But this gem from Ashley is one that has really stuck with me. Like many vulnerabilities that came to the surface during my week in the Canadian wilderness (no wifi, limited cell service, and a group of 80 truly inspiring women), I don't think I realized the level to which I allow others' opinions affect me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Holding that part of me sacred has been an interesting and wonderful mindset shift. Of course, it's not coming overnight but I do see significant changes within me. My mornings now start with a "heart check" practice that Ashley shared with us and I've also started journaling, which has helped with this -- and my anxiety -- tremendously (thanks to @ckelso for the lovely workshop + encouragement!). "Self-care" has taken on a whole new meaning to me ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've come back from Camp a better version of myself. I feel like I'm returning wiser and more focused than ever to build a life around my values. At the end of your life, how many hours and how hard you worked will not matter. It'll matter how much you loved. And that includes loving yourself ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As my new fabulous friend @lashondambrown taught us, we must live a life of service but only give from our excess. "A lamp with no fuel can’t light a fire for others." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸Photo by the lovely + talented @imagesbyamberr. Feel so lucky to have had a little photo session with her at Camp!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. If you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend The Imperfect Boss Camp. If you're interested in attending next year and have questions or want to hear about the chipmunk story (it's a good one), let's do coffee ☕️
