My Why

Mapp Designs started out of a need I saw in running my own creative business (and also a weird passion I have). I wanted to be a service to other creative businesses, knowing that I have walked in their shoes. I saw that others were SO excited about what they were creating and doing, and yet somehow intimidated about a website or branding. Maybe it was taking the leap from a “hobby” to “business” or maybe feeling like they needed to know how to code, or just a feeling of overwhelm. 

Building my creative business (KT mountain studio) was no doubt a leap of faith. Yet I knew that if I didn’t have the answer, I would figure it out. Here’s the truth, before I had one ceramic piece, one mug, one cup, I had a website. I knew early on that I needed a landing page for my business, no matter what shape it would take. The very next step was getting clear on my branding. For me it wasn’t my logo, color palette or typography (I knew that these would come) but spending days/weeks/months working through my WHY, my mission statement, and the core values of my business. These foundational pieces have allowed me to create a brand that is transformative and can adapt with me, while still staying clear to those core values. 

As my business grew, I found myself coming back to my branding and website. I found joy in thinking about how my work was going into the world. How people interacted with every aspect of my business, from the physical product to the website and logos. It was something I loved thinking about. I would find time to update and even rebuild my website as my work and business became more clear. 

Now today, I want to bring this passion and service to others. Breathing life into a brand or website that you are proud of! Something you are excited to share with potential clients or art agents. But is also built to support you as you grow, adapt and pursue your passions and impact on the world. 

I believe that your gifts and passions can create a ripple and that your story is the groundwork to your business.

I’m here to create a brand and a website that elevates your impact and the creative work you are doing.
