Designer. Educator. Brand Builder

My journey started in 2015 when I founded NP Design Co., working with over 300 food, beverage, and lifestyle businesses. Along the way, I launched side projects like Folk Fable Studio and Swift Saint Supply Co., experimenting with AI for creative eCommerce solutions.

After a decade as a freelancer building brands for businesses of all sizes, I hit burnout in 2025. I closed my agency to focus on what really lit me up: teaching everything I've learned about building successful online businesses.

This hands-on experience with hundreds of brands means I know exactly what works—and what doesn't—so you can skip the expensive mistakes I've already made and build faster.
