I love empowering small business owners through thoughtful, strategy-backed design because I know being a small business doesn’t mean having small aspirations.
Whether you’re building your first brand or ready for a full refresh, I’ll help you create something that reflects your goals, connects with your audience, and grows with you.
After more than 15 years in design (including seven in corporate), I’ve learned one big truth: everything gets easier when you start with a great brand.
I’m Megan Kranzler. Founder, creative director, and resident sea turtle enthusiast.

Natasha is a Creative Technologist with solid roots in both design and tech, thanks to studies at Northeastern University and the Fashion Institute of Technology. She’s been building with WordPress since it first dropped in the early 2000s, and has turned what started as a hobby into a full-blown career.
When she’s not building digital magic, you’ll probably find her cooking up something new, planning her next adventure, or pitching in as the Tech Chair for a genealogy society in Philadelphia.

With two decades of sales and marketing experience spanning retail, medical, and legal fields, Brendan brings serious know-how without the ego.

Passionate, practical, and pretty dang good at what he does, Brendan’s all in on helping businesses grow without losing their soul.
When he's not working, you'll find Brendan relaxing at home with a movie or out performing standup comedy across the Southeast.
