Women shape the creative industries.
Yet leadership still remains rare.
70% study design.
55% become designers.
11% become creative directors.
~1% build agencies.
It reflects a gap in representation and opportunity.
What changes culture and history is the freedom to create, lead, and build.
Women are creators.
At Heed Collective, we want to see more women lead, build, and win.
These numbers are wild. The talent is there but the access to leadership is still so narrow. This needs to change!
Exactly. The talent has always been there — what we need is more seats at the table.
It's soooo amazing to work with such a creative and thoughtful leader! Never felt more in my place than in Heed Collective 🩵
This means a lot, thank you Stacy. 💙
Building Heed Collective together with thoughtful and talented women like you is what makes it special.
Great 💯

Brand Identity Design — Health, Wellness & Female Empowerment
A space built by women, for women. My job was to give it an identity worthy of its purpose.
This project called for a chromatic and typographic system carefully crafted to communicate transformation, sophistication, and warmth — without compromising visual cohesion across touchpoints.
What was developed:
— Semantic color palette with 8 calibrated tones: cream, nude, burnt rose, mauve, warm brown, and a 4-stop gold scale — each color assigned a functional role within the visual hierarchy
— Typographic system built on italic serif display, spaced small caps for subheadings, and light sans-serif for body copy — creating editorial rhythm and femininity without sacrificing legibility
— Logo system with primary, reversed, and colored-background variations, including clear space rules and misuse guidelines

Great Work.
Two things companies and designers should never compromise:
The brain for thinking
The joy of creativity
Because great design isn't just produced;
It is felt,
It is explored,
It is discovered.
Use AI, but never outsource your creativity!

Some brands are built around a logo. MCHN was built around a man. Nick Lavery — Green Beret, above-the-knee amputee, the first Special Forces operator to return to combat after that kind of loss — didn't start a fitness company. He built a philosophy. My role was to extend that philosophy into something new: Readiness. A sub-brand built from nothing, designed to carry the same weight as the name it lived under.
