Vibrant Marketing & Design

One of my favorite things about what I do is watching someone bring their dream to life.

I’ve been working with Connect the Hops , founded by Samantha Padilla, a paint-and-sip company in South King County that puts a fun twist on the classic format by hosting events at local breweries instead of wineries. 🍻🎨

Samantha asked me to create her website and optimize her Google Business profile for local search. But what’s been even more rewarding is seeing her vision come alive and her excitement grow as everything starts to click.

This week, she’s hosting her first round of paint-and-sip events, and I’ll be there, paintbrush in hand, working on a little jack-o’-lantern masterpiece just in time for Halloween. 🎃

Helping clients share their dreams with the world, and watching them unfold in real time, never gets old.

One of the best parts of my job? Watching a client’s vision turn into something real they’re excited to share. 🥰

For Danielle Renee - NMLS # 1574436 - "Your Home Loan Bestie", that meant a brand new website. She already had a gorgeous brand package from Jessica Clements of Clements Design, and I got to take that foundation and turn it into a site that felt polished, personal, and totally “her.”

Here’s what Danielle said after launch:

✨ “Jessica is a master of her craft! I came to her with a brand package & a dream of a new website! She brought my unknown vision to life in ways I could never even imagine! Jessica is meticulous and detail oriented with amazing creativity! Highly recommend her for any of your digital marketing needs!” ✨

I love projects like this. The collaboration, the creativity, and the moment when a client says, “Yes, that’s it. That feels like me.”

This isn’t your typical business post.
But that feels right.

I’ve been sitting with the story of Grandmother Spider, a figure in several Native traditions who represents weaving, creation, and wisdom.

Her lessons remind me so much of how I approach my work:

🌐 Everything is connected.
Your website, your content, your social presence, they all work together as one web.

🧵 Weaving is creation.
Threads of ideas, values, and goals can be shaped into something strong, clear, and beautiful.

✨ Alignment matters.
When work is balanced and aligned, it flows. And it lasts.

The reminder I take from Grandmother Spider is that building a business isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about weaving something strong and true, with all the pieces connected.

P.S. I’m also the one who rescues the house spider and carries her outside. 🕷️

Do you ever stop and marvel at the colors around you?

I sliced open a plum the other day and had to pause. The color was so deep and vibrant it almost didn’t seem real.

Of course, the photos didn’t quite capture it. They rarely do. What I saw — and what I felt — was something else entirely.

That’s the thing about inspiration. It shows up in its own time, often in the quietest places. A piece of fruit, a moment of light, a reminder that beauty doesn’t ask for permission to be noticed.

✨

Do you ever get caught by surprise like that?

Hanging with Jessica of Clements Design at the RCF doing our networking thing today. We’re in the home stretch! While I don’t do these types of events very often, they’re an important part of my business development and well worth the effort.

I’m an introverted creative.
I can hit the “extrovert” button when I need to, but it doesn’t last long.

My battery drains fast in big rooms.
But sometimes I still show up — not to work the room, just to connect.

A few real conversations. No pitch. No pressure. Just presence.

Sometimes showing up doesn’t mean being “on.” Sometimes it just means being open.

Introverts and neurodivergent types unite! (Clements Design and Scribbles Hub) *When we have the energy and inclination. 😅

Last night I stepped out of my comfort zone (and into the heat) for the Renton Chamber of Commerce / Kent Chamber of Commerce / Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce rooftop mixer.

As an introvert, networking events can be… a lot. But this one? Worth it. I connected with some incredible, business-minded folks—some brand new, and others I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade. Real conversations, genuine laughs, and the kind of energy that reminds you why showing up matters.

Grateful for moments like these—and for people like Jess (Vibrant Marketing & Design) and Savannah (Scribbles Hub) who make it feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun.

Here’s to community, connection, and a whole lot of sweat equity (literally).
