Hey, I'm
My best skill? Working with businesses and business owners who radically
create themselves with each act of rebellion
Why stick to the norms when it just doesn't feel authentic to you? Boooor-ing. We understand that true evolution lies in challenging conventions, pushing boundaries, and continuously searching for ourselves to stand out in an ever-evolving and oversaturated market- all while staying true to you.
You need someone to not only support your wildest aspirations, but to wholeheartedly believe in them and transform them from ideas on a page into a fully realized business. You’ve got the brains and heart behind the business, leave me to create a strong brand identity based on strategic research, trend setting visual concepts, and my sixth sense power of magnetizing your target audience to your business.

But first: BASICS
Welcome to the digital home of BEC Studio, aka By Em Creative. We're a woman-owned design studio offering brand design and creative direction services for alternative, boundary-pushing female and LGBTQ+ creatives. I graduated in ’21 with my degree in Graphic Design and my minor in Media, Communication, and Journalism, but am pretty much self-taught when it comes to this whole freelance thing. I know better than anyone how scary it is to give yourself the chance to pursue your craziest dreams. It's scary and unknown and the worst scenarios play out in your head. But I’ve always been driven to do something more, to help people achieve their business dreams, and to push the envelope of what I was told I could and couldn’t do. I have a feeling you’re the same way, and that’s why you’re here.

OUR STUDIO ETHOS
Let's get personal
My birth chart is...
Virgo sun ☀︎ , Scorpio moon ☾ . and Capricorn rising ↑
When I'm not designing I'm...
Getting more tattoos, reading a good romantasy, snuggling my dog and cats, and diving into my current hyperfixation (currently all things Occult)
I'm inspired by...
Music, emotions, expressions of individuality, storytelling, history, and travel.
I'm probably listening to...
Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Phoebe Bridgers/Boygenius, or podcasts (my favorite right now is And That's Why We Drink).

Branching out of your comfort zone is where the actuality of living your dreams resides. It might look like trying new ideas, doing the opposite of what you’re told to do, and following your gut. When you work with me we explore each touchpoint, approaching every problem as an opportunity to test new paths and create something truly unique and outside of the box.

One of my favorite parts of design is the connections made between people. The emotions evoked, the conversations sparked, and the way visuals can communicate what words often fail to do has always felt like its own type of magic to me, and the connections made during creation are just as powerful.

TRANSPARENCY
I’m all about the heart to hearts, creating meaningful experiences, and taking each fumble and success as a team effort. I’m an open book, and look to establish friendships and open conversations with each of my clients. You’re not looking for just another check on your business to do list; you’re looking for a creative co-conspirator.

- You just want to get your branding over with, you don’t really care about the ‘why’ behind design decisions.
- You aren’t at a place where the investment of good branding is worth it to you. (If this is you, keep an eye for the launch of Brandshelf, my semi-custom packages coming soon.
- You want to be totally hands off and communicate as little as possible.
- You don’t have an idea of what vibe or direction you’re wanting to go in, and you’ll ‘know it when you see it’.
We might not be the best fit if...
We'll vibe well if...
- You like to break the rules and push creative boundaries.
- You want to work with a designer who gets to really know you, and you want to be an active participant in the collaboration process.
- You believe in the importance of good design, and a brand identity isn’t just a checkbox on your list to cross off as quickly and cheaply as you can.
- You believe in the magic of design as a communication tool, and are ready to explore the scope of what a strong identity can do for your business.
