But despite the unprecedented number of tech issues I’ve run into over the past week, something that’s been in sort supply for me all summer
She took my ass to town, because her and I both know that my Fixes are worth so. much. more.
I’ve been nervous about raising my prices because I don’t want to price myself out of working with small business owners, but the reality is, when someone chooses to work with me, they are saving a MASSIVE amount of time and money. I do in a day what takes weeks to coordinate across copywriters, designers, and virtual assistants. I am a one-woman creative army.
And let’s get fucking real. Getting an entire brand in a day? It’s a big fucking deal. My work is top notch, and utilizes processes that streamline production, but never compromises artistic integrity

What’s been Fixed lately
I wanted to showcase some of my favorite client projects as of late so you can see exactly what a Funnel Cake Fix looks like in action. (And lucky you, a lot of these women offer some incredible free content.) Enjoy!

Andrea Silver is a gifted life coach who helps women live Hell Yes lives. (Totally badass, right?) I had the honor of redoing her site copy to make it more fun and conversational. Check out her site here, and get her journal pages to start organizing your life in a way that makes a shocking amount of sense.
Susan Hyatt is my girl/work crush – and she just made her latest freebie available. I was lucky enough to get to design it (hellooooo dream client!). Check out Get Published! here, and start submitting your writing around the web.
Annie P. Kirk is a long-time client, a restorative garden designer helping you create outdoor spaces that fill your soul up and keep you happy and healthy. We created a stronger funnel sequence to guide you through little steps to start making your space work better for you.
Riyana Rose Sang is another client I’ve worked with over the years, and the depth of her work is stunning. This time around, she’s offering Sweet Serenity – a course on herbalism designed to help you feel better.

And the founder of the reinvention co, a marketing consultancy specializing in working with personality-driven companies with small teams.
Intense, fun, and relentlessly practical, Dusti understands the lives of small business owners are deeply intertwined with their businesses, and if their marketing is going to be sustainable, it can't get in the way of why they do what they do.
