Let me tell you a story that is pretty similar to yours, I bet...


I'm guessing that as a business visionary, you are constantly evaluating new and exciting ideas (picture Dug the dog from Pixar's UP!) that cause that "SQUIRREL!!!" feeling.


Well, I  get you! 


As my favorite Peloton instructor, Denis, says "If you are not changing it, you are choosing it" and it's time to move the needle on your business endeavors. 


I pair my experience of working with numerous industries, my own ideas, and the strategies that I have gathered over my 20+ years of learning and growing to help established and start-ups thrive.

Our clients have a lot in common! 

Do these sound like you? 

I've done tons of research and reflecting on what most of my clients have in common, and, if you made it here, I am guessing this sounds a lot like YOU!


YOU’RE INCREDIBLY DRIVEN


You are brimming with ideas for the lifestyle and business you want. Your determination is strong and you are in it to win it!


YOU KNOW HAVING A FULFILLING LIFE IS THE ONLY TRUE SUCCESS


Balance, that is what it is all about! When you are working within your passion, work no longer feels like... well, work. 


YOU ARE PASSION-DRIVEN, THAT IS YOUR TRUE PURPOSE


You want to spend more of your valuable time doing what you love and less time tackling to-do’s that are outside of your zone of genius (or your interests, for that matter.)


YOU’RE BRILLIANT!


You’re not here for quick fixes or the newest, trendiest strategies. You’re here to build something that brings you joy and stands the test of time.


Here is a little more of my story...


Curiosity and creativity drive me in everything I do.


If there is one lesson I have recently learned, it's that I wish I would have discovered in my entrepreneurial journey, it's that I am surrounded by talented and amazing people that want to help me succeed. My time and money are better spent allowing experts shine in serving my business in a way that gives me the time to tackle what I love most: serving my clients in business + marketing development. I am truly grateful for my accountant, my copywriter, and my coach that get me through the stuff that doesn't bring me joy. 


Quick fixes may look shiny in the moment, however, high-end, trusted brand development could make the difference in the ultimate success that you crave for your business.


YOUR BUSINESS DESERVES AN EXPERIENCED AND DEDICATED PARTNER WHO REALLY GETS IT!


With a bachelor's in design and a master's in integrated marketing, a strategic brain, and an eye for design, I want to partner with you to create a foundation for your business that is a source of joy and withstands the ever-evolving marketplace and unpredictable times that we live in -- hello, COVID!

The Mighty Team!


Behind every great business, there is a team that makes the vision a reality!
I am so very fortunate to have a little tribe of my own that I turn to and trust to carry forward the vision of Canvana Studio. You'll catch these guys working their magic regularly.

Writing has always been a passion for me, but it wasn’t until 2020, the year of change, that I finally decided to launch into copywriting as a full-time career. My experience as a small business owner along with a diploma from The Blackford Centre has led me to the wonderful world of copy and for that, I am so grateful! I had the opportunity to collaborate with Kelly in 2020 and was amazed by her marketing knowledge. I am honored to be considered part of the team here at Canvana Studio.


Being able to pursue my love of writing combined with a love of psychology and marketing is a passion of mine but being able to spend valuable time with my family is the icing on the cake. I am a mom of three kiddos and one pup. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, camping, and just spending time with my family.

My marketing career began when I met an inspiring woman - Kelly Brown. I have always been a creator and she helped me bring my creations to life in the marketing field. Since my time working with Kelly in tourism, I have had the privilege of working for my local Chamber of Commerce where I was able to assist small business owners in all aspects of marketing. From then on I have been helping small business owners strive and am excited to expand my career with Canvana Studio. 


The ability to be creative, continue learning, and spend time with family are the most important aspects in my life. I recently got engaged and look forward to planning a wedding. I am also a dog mom to two beautiful pups, Maggie and Ranger. In our free time, we enjoy taking the RZR out and exploring the most beautiful parts of Colorado.

I have always loved art and design, and find myself lost to time when I’m working in it. I did go to the ‘fancy art school’, yes, I’m one of those people, and have a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from California College of the Arts in San Francisco. I’m grateful for experience working for Citicorp in corporate, in small design studio environments, in a partnership, and finally working as a small business owner. Add homeschool mom, art teacher to public and private school kids, goat farming, and new homes development, that pretty much sums up a varied life experience under my belt.


I live in a small town in Northern California and love most every minute of it except wildfire season. I enjoy hanging out with my husband, 3 adult children, Border Collie, and 4 cats. You can also find me working on design & art projects, hiking, sweating it out at the gym, or obsessing about whatever I find curious at the moment.
