ABOUT THE DESIGNER
I'm Cagney!
The designer who loves bold colors, funky fonts, and putting your personality front and center through authentic branding and web design.
When I first branded my illustration business, I did what any other small business owner would do, look up what everyone else was doing.
Which resulted in a whole bunch of self-sabotage that I was never gonna make it as a young, creative business owner (screw you imposter syndrome).
Because I must talk like *this* to finally get to 10k followers, my brand must look like *this* to get hundreds of orders, and my website must be like *this* because clearly that’s what everyone is obsessed with, right?
Wrong.
I tried to talk like *that*, make my brand look like *that*, and create a website like *that*, and it got me questioning what the hell I was doing?
Doing all the things I thought I was supposed to be doing, left me burnt out with little to no results.
It was when I realized being authentically me was my superpower.
Once I ditched the copy-cat method that clearly wasn’t working (duh!), I got reaaallll comfortable with just being me.
Because why the hell was I trying to hide that?
It was time I rebranded to something that truly felt like me & ditch the professional talk because, let’s be real, I don’t use big words like that in real life.
So, I switched up my offers from custom illustrations to bold, personality-packed branding and web design for passionate creatives like you.
And you already know I wasn't going to be a dark & moody, neutral color, luxury font loving brand designer despite that being the standard in my industry.
Because that just isn't me.
I quickly realized I wanted to help other passionate creatives stand out in their industry.
