Hey, I'm Emily, and I don't just create stand out brands - I create change.

I am a multi-passionate, feminist creative marketer who helps women stand out online without burning out. As an accomplished web designer, brand strategist, and published author, I know a thing or twenty about helping women-owned businesses grow their online presence, wealth, and impact in the world (because women do good stuff with their money) while confidently taking up space online.

Emily biting into a heart shaped cake!

We've all been in a meeting where someoneeeee dominates the conversation. They talk over everyone else. They interrupt people. They don't seem to care about what others have to say because they literally have no self-awareness!It makes me cringe just thinking about it. I used to think I was just...

A few weeks ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that made my heart race a little. I spotted a post from someone in my network – a fellow ethical marketer – discussing how messaging about "getting money into women's hands" excludes non-binary and gender-fluid people. As someone whose...

Hey Bootstrapper, Each week, I deliver a fresh, feminist-inspired, creative marketing email to your inbox...let's dive in! Prefer to listen to this podcast style? You're in luck! Check it out here! I need to make a confession: I haven't posted on social media in almost two weeks.

Hey Bootstrapper, Each week, I deliver a fresh, feminist-inspired, creative marketing email to your inbox...let's dive in! Prefer to listen to this podcast style? You're in luck! Check it out here! I've been pretty quiet on social media lately. For those of you following me on Instagram, I've not been my usual online self. The political climate right now is A LOT. The bad news is overwhelming, and I have been feeling tired of all the uncertainty and fear. And I'm not even American. The...

Hey Bootstrapper, Each week, I deliver a fresh, feminist-inspired, creative marketing email to your inbox...let's dive in! Prefer to listen to this podcast style? You're in luck! Check it out here! Last week, I read *yet another* email about a business owner who lost their job, started a business, and immediately was supporting their family – making it sound effortless and quick. I instantly rolled my eyes and clicked DELETE. Probably should have unsubscribed, but I'll get to that later......

Hey Bootstrapper, Each week, I deliver a fresh, feminist-inspired, creative marketing email to your inbox...let's dive in! As you know, I've been knee-deep in my own brand refresh, and let me tell you – seeing the invoices for my copywriting glow-up and brand photography definitely had me second-guessing all the investments I've made.
