Stay Cool Creative Studio

not your average creative studio

Your brilly idea deserves

to look cool AF, right?

Listen, I get it.

I’ve been there.

You’ve spent countless hours working on a SUPER COOL, EXTRA DOPE offering or product, only for it to get lost in the sauce of design and aesthetic.

It just doesn’t look as cool on the outside as it is on the inside!

And that sucks the big one ‘cause we both know that it’s cool!

Like, SUPER COOL 😎

So you take the leap, and you shell out your hard earned dollars to a fancy shmancy graphic designer, only to receive a stack of complicated Adobe Suite files that will cost you $100/month in subscription fees, and 10,000+ hours of YT tutorials to figure out how to swap out a friggen image.

COME ON! THROW ME A BONE!

AKA here—hunched over my computer at 3AM trying to get. the. lewk. JUST RIGHT.

I mean, you did the scary thing.

You started.

Isn’t that enough?!?!

Narrator: “No—they soon learned that, in fact, it was not enough.”

(but honestly, I’m proud of you for just getting started…
and that’s gotta count for something right?!)

Only to get stumped by how it is supposed to look… how rude!

And maybe, just maybe… you think/scream to yourself:

“This shouldn’t be so hard!
I can see it in my head, but it’s just not translating!

And I’m wasting so much time and energy trying to figure this one thing out, I now don’t have the time or energy (or fucks to give) to work ON my business.

I just don’t know if I’m cut out
for the
solopreneur hustle.”

You listened to your genius idea, you spent weekends and evenings and all your spare brain cells crafting up outlines, making great plans, sending emails, purchasing tools and materials to really bring this thing to life!

* cue me crying, ‘cause bestie that just ain’t it! you can do it! actually, we need you to do it! *

Deep down you know you are meant to share your genius with the world.

and if you need a lil’ creative razzle dazzle support to help get you there, you are not a failure just because you weren't able to boot strap your entire empire.

super cool shit we’ve worked on

Hey I’m Stace-

A multi-hyphenate creative who is one part Canva Alchemist, and one part Brand Visionary. Seriously, people call me the Brand Whisperer. But in truth, I am a terrible whisperer. I’m a pretty loud person… I blame my Sagittarius Moon and Rising. I have been in Content Creation and SMM for over 10 years (wow! time flies!) and I have been in the world of branding for the past four years. I’ve worked with indie campaigns, non-profits, podcasts, starts ups, solopreneurs, and mid sized brands.

If you’re into Human Design, all you really need to know is that I’m a 5/1 Projector… so amplifying the genius of others is my superpower.

  • Deep Dive on any SUBJECT, and regurgitate all the info in laymen's terms. My friends call me the Walking Cliff Note.

    Alchemize, or translate, one thing into something else. (Think that school dance screen from Euphoria turning into a website!)
