I'm a mom, wife, and total marketing nerd who finally decided to stop working for other people and start doing things my way. My daughter's at UCSD studying film (which is pretty cool), and my 9-year-old is already making his own movies and is all about directing at the moment. Between the three dogs, excessive coffee consumption, and my quest for the perfect cheese, life is never boring
Last year I joined my husband Jeff at Alien Artisan after realizing our dinner conversations about AI and digital search changes were the best part of my day. After years of wishing I could do things differently for clients, I finally just... decided to do it.
The businesses that need the most help are usually the ones who can't afford agency prices. That's backwards. I'm pumped that I can finally charge what makes sense for actual small businesses, not just the ones already killing it.
My husband Jeff is basically a creative wizard - give him any limitation and he'll find a workaround. No professional photos? Limited budget? Doesn't matter. We'll figure something out that doesn't look like everyone else's stock photo nightmare.
Not everyone wants to be an influencer. You can be successful on social media without dancing, pointing at text, or pretending to be someone you're not. I love helping introverts find their voice online.
I only work with one business per area because I want to give everything I've got without holding back. What is the point of collecting data that I don't use? When things change, I want to fix it now, not after three meetings and a department head vote.
