The Designer Behind the Brand

Brand Alchemy was founded in 2016 with one goal: help small businesses look as good as the work they do.

Getting here wasn't exactly a straight line. I spent my college years trying on majors that never quite fit, eventually dropping out and landing at my local food co-op — where I stayed for years while I figured out what I actually wanted. What I knew was simple: I wanted to be creative every day and work for myself. Everything else was still fuzzy.

In 2012, right after my first daughter was born, I picked up a camera. The photos on my phone weren't cutting it and I wanted to capture everything. I became obsessed with learning — photography led to design, and design stopped feeling like a skill and started feeling like a calling. In 2015 I left the co-op, started Brand Alchemy the following year, and haven't looked back since.

Over the past 10+ years I've worked on hundreds of brand and web design projects for clients across the country — coaches, course creators, service businesses, and entrepreneurs at every stage. That breadth of experience taught me a lot about what works, what doesn't, and what most designers get wrong. It also taught me where I wanted to focus.

That focus is here — in Northwest Arkansas, with the contractors, clinics, salons, agencies, and service businesses that make this community worth living in. I spent enough years at the co-op to believe deeply that local dollars spent locally matter. 

Choosing to work primarily with businesses in my own backyard isn't just a business decision — it's a values one.

My Values

Simplicity

Most design processes are overcomplicated — long timelines, endless revision rounds, and proposals that take weeks to materialize. I built my process differently. From the way I communicate to the way I structure every project, I keep things clear, straightforward, and focused. You always know what to expect and why.

Local First

Based in Fayetteville and rooted in Northwest Arkansas, I'm here to help the businesses that make this region worth living in, look as good as the work they do. I believe local businesses are the backbone of a community — and they deserve to be invested in.

Quality Over Everything

Your brand is often the first impression a potential client has of your business. It should reflect the same standard of work you hold yourself to every day. I don't cut corners to hit a deadline — I work in focused intensives precisely so I can deliver polished, professional work fast, without sacrificing the craft.

Ten Non-Design Facts About Me

Ruby

June

You can probably find me on a Saturday morning at:

The Fayetteville Farmer's Market — tea in hand, taking my time.

My favorite local dinner spots:

Khana and Tangiers. If you know, you know.

Where I take the kids when the weather's good:

Gulley Park. And if it's summer, we're staying for the music.

My favorite kind of shopping:

The Pink Fern, followed by whatever thrift store I haven't hit in a while.

Something I'll always believe in even though I haven't worked there in years:

Ozark Natural Foods Co-op. Local dollars, local community. Still matters.

What I love most about living here:

Fayetteville feels like a small town even though it's grown into something much bigger. We're tucked into the Ozarks, there are no billboards cluttering the skyline, and somehow everyone is still genuinely friendly. It's a special place.

My work style:

A comfort show on in the background and sparkling water and/or tea. Every time.

Current color obsession: 

Black. Structured, timeless, and it goes with everything — which is probably why it keeps showing up in my design work too.

My interior design spirit:

Eclectic cottage core. Small house living done with intention.

The ones who keep me grounded:

Ruby, June, and the animals who run this house alongside us.

Me!
