First off, I want to congratulate you on making it through the first 456 days of the month of January ?? Is it just me, or has this been the longest month in all eternity? I guess I'm glad that it's over, but we're still limping along through the coldest, darkest time of the year for a bit longer. I've been busy trying to recover from winter break with a school-aged kid and being quite burnt out from before the holidays. Then I added a few weeks of my back acting up — due to my own neglect...I gotta stay on top of doing yoga and stretching — and trying to manage my workload to ..read more

Happy 2025! I'm sitting at my dining room table designing + trying to send out this January wallpaper design in a slight panic as my 5 year is next to me playing some monster truck game on the iPad. You see, this is the first year I've had a school-aged kid not in daycare; which means regular school breaks with no child care in sight. Which also means the list of internal things I really needed to get done on this break have been largely untouched. Reflecting on the last year, I'm realizing the theme has been a lot of scrambling and putting off my own priorities. Which hasn't been working ..read more

You gotta be kidding me that it’s already the very last month of the year! The last few weeks (months) have gone by in such a blur. Partially because it’s my busiest time of year, but I also think it’s just because this is how time works now that I’m getting older and have a kid of my own. This has been one of the best years Six Leaf Design has ever had financially, client-wise, projects, processes…just about everything. I’m really proud of the work I’ve done this year, both creatively and as a business owner. I’m hoping to make time for a project recap email because there’s way too much I wan ..read more

I walked outside last night and saw my breath and it’s the first time it’s felt like winter is officially on it’s way! Having grown up in the frozen tundra of the north (North Dakota to be specific), it’s a bit hard for me to enjoy the cold seasons. But I’m trying my best to embrace it and be present. So, here’s a shortlist of things I’m looking forward to in the upcoming months: wearing beanies & sweaters, alllll the soups, playing in the snow with my kindergartener, warm snuggles under cozy blankets, savory and sweet pies, and taking 2 weeks off work for my winter break over Christmas an ..read more

So, you’ve taken the plunge and invested in a shiny new website for your business to take things to the next level. But what good is even having a website if no one can find it? That’s where SEO comes into play. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it essentially means making your site visible for search engines like Google and Bing so people can find you when they search. The tricky part is that no one knows exactly how the algorithms these search engines use work (because that’s basically their secret sauce). But we do know some things you can do to improve your ..read more

And just like that, we enter the last quarter of the year! I am so not ready for this. Like most years, I’m bracing for a busy season now through the end of the year. Between school starting and everyone wanting to get in their projects before the end of the year, I always have a lot to do at this time. But in between, I’ll be savoring the remnants of summer and trying to enjoy the best bits of autumn: crisp mornings, pumpkin everything, Halloween, sweaters, beanies, and boots! I’m trying to be positive about it, can you tell ..read more

One of the biggest jobs your website does is build credibility for you. And there are lots of ways to do that, but social proof is a super powerful one. What does that mean? It means showing other people have already had a great experience using your product or working with you. Testimonials are one awesome way to do that, but another great way is to display the logos of big, reputable companies you’ve worked with or been featured by. Why does this help build credibility? Well, because if those companies trusted you enough to work with you, then so can Suzie who found you on Instagram ..read more

Ok, but seriously….. how is it September already? I’m not ready to let summer go yet! Even though I love Halloween, it always seems like autumn comes too quickly for me. And I feel like I’m in the minority here with pumpkin spice everything already popping up. But it’s coming, whether we’re ready for it or not! In my little corner of the universe I’m settling into a new school routine with my 5-year-old-first-time-kindergartener, my workload is currently steady + manageable, I’ll be going to one more summer concert this month (that’ll make 6!), and I’m about to book out my last slot for the re ..read more
