Hi There! My name is Molly. And 12 years ago, you would have found me in one of my many college communication classes doing everything I could to prepare to become an event planner. With a minor in Event Management, I had 4 or 5 internships and was in every event-related class possible. I was going to be an event planner. As part of my Communication degree, I was taking classes in Public Relations, Graphic and Web Design, and Marketing. While I thought these were fun, I never gave them much thought beyond the grade.
After 70 hour work weeks and not getting much of the creative outlet I dreamed of, I left the event industry and began to pursue graphic design. I learned that through graphic design and social media management, I could tell stories for businesses in ways that were never possible through events. I can see the real results of my work and I get to share that joy with my clients.
I truly am passionate about brands and learning what works and what doesn’t. Because of this, my goal is to take this aspect of a business off the shoulders of an entrepreneur. I want to learn all that I can about you and your business and create the brand you would if you had the time.
A good brand tells a story. Let me help you tell it!
Soooo…who is Molly?
I am wife to the most amazing, level headed, positive and encouraging Software Engineer, Chip Keyes.
I am momma to three sweet kiddos, Emmylou, my hilarious and dramatic six-year-old who has more opinions than most adults, my crazy, dino-obsessed three-year-old, Sawyerwho has a habit of breaking just about everything he touches, and my sweet one-year-old, Peyton. She’s the greatest little final piece of our family puzzle.
I am dog momma to Griz, the best dog ever. This fluffy old man Golden Retriever lets kids climb on him, pull his ears, grab his lips and shove fingers in his mouth all while he just lies there.
I love Jesus.
I live in the sweet small town of Snohomish where I also grew up. I moved away for college (only an hour away, but that was enough!) and had to come back.
I work wherever it’s convenient for the day. Sometimes it's on the floor with one (or two) kids climbing on me (in fact as I type this, I'm on the living room floor with a toddler climbing my back). Sometimes it's at the kitchen table during naps and school and sometimes it's on the couch with my husband when the kids are in bed.
My food of choice is a sandwich. No, not a pb&j, although I do love those, but really good sandwiches. The kind where you need a few napkins. Whether it be cold, grilled, or filled with meat, cheese, or just veggies, I am always a fan. So if you’ve got some good sandwich shops you recommend or some awesome recipes, bring ’em on!
My drink of choice is either soda water with lime or an amazing glass of local wine. Chilled Sauvignon Blanc on a summer day or bold red on a cozy winter evening.
My dream house would be on a farm. I want cows and horses and chickens and goats and all the animals. I love open space and dream of someday having it!
I am a lover of the water. I grew up boating and was a rower in high school and college and to this day, the water is my happy place.
