✨ New blog live! ✨

When Competition Gets Weird
I’ve always believed there’s room for all of us, the more creative, brilliant local businesses doing what they love, the better. So when someone sees your work as a threat instead of a celebration, it can sting a bit. 🥴

This post is for anyone who's ever been blocked, iced out, or side-eyed by someone doing a similar thing to them.

It’s mostly a reminder that we don’t have to absorb someone else’s weird energy. We can turn it into something better, something kinder, more us, and more full of community vibes.

✨ Plus I’ve added some honest tips on how to stop it from getting to you + how to channel it into a better brand.

Spent some time capturing the lovely Claire in her element, working her magic through the most beautiful holistic treatments ✨

Watching her work was such a calming experience; every detail felt intentional, thoughtful, and totally unique to her client.

She was an absolute gem to photograph, and I highly recommend checking her out if you’re after something that nourishes both body and mind 💆‍♀️🌿

✨She’s back, baby ✨

After a lil offline nap and a much-needed glow-up, the Inked Badger website is officially back in action! 💻🎉

She’s cuter, faster, and full of all the info you might need, from services to FAQs to lil bits of my brain.
Go have a nosey, I’m genuinely buzzing with how she turned out 🖤

Let’s be honest: you’re not building a brand for yourself, you’re building it for your people.
So if you’re not asking them what they actually want... you might just be guessing in a cute font 👀

This one’s all about the kind of market research that doesn’t make your eyes glaze over.
Real talk. Real feedback. Real good branding.

Swipe through, take notes, and if you’re still stuck, I’m just a DM away 🖤
