Hi, I’m Sarah – I am a Midwest creative who loves to help people define their brand.
I am SUPER PASSIONATE about small business and helping brands display themselves in a way that is true to who they are. I love partnering with other creatives to help them hone their style, voice, and media presence. This can take many different forms. It might look like helping create word content, media content, website content, or print content. My ultimate goal is to help small businesses THRIVE and show up every day, true to their brand.
In 2018 I created my own brand, Finley Market, to offer hard to find, small batch, quality hand made goods for the home and family. I built the website on the Shopify platform, created all of my own brand logos and social media content. This experience of building my own brand allowed me to learn so much about helping others create and tell their brand story.
Fast forward to 2022 and I joined my friends Hollie and Kyle Estes to create Cassidy Station. We took a 152 year old farmstead and turned it into two amazing retail spaces, three event spaces, and preserved the farm for the next generation. I helped drive the creative vision of the project as well as document and run the social media, blog, designed all of the branding, and helped create a solid brand presence. They also invited me to get the Mercantile up and running. I took everything I learned from Finley Market and used it to create an amazing, welcoming, and thriving space for the community to shop.
This year I am transitioning back to freelance so that I can focus more on motherhood. I am excited to be able to help more small business owners, brands, and individuals tell their stories in a meaningful way!
