My name is Akela (pronounced like "tequila" without the "t"). I am an Okie resident, but born in Kansas. I have a decade of experience in marketing, including logo design, social media management, website design, branding, business development, and more. Before my return to marketing/branding I ran a successful design business in the wedding industry. I believe that exceptioal branding should be accessible to everyone. I get it, not everyone can spend thousands of dollars on their branding, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have the ability to brand your business successfully. My small business branding resources were developed to help you on your brandin gjourney - like a professional. Skipping the huge agency price tag, but sacrificing none of the strategy, resources, or beauty.
