a Brand Creator and Business Connector based in Minneapolis, with over a decade of experience supporting small businesses.
My career began in social media, where I developed my marketing skills and developed a deep appreciation for local entrepreneurs. I soon expanded into logo design, websites, and full brand identities—work that led me to launch my branding agency, VZNCY, in 2020.
Within 5 years my team and I have helped more than 150 businesses and nonprofits build standout brands rooted in purpose and personality.
As VZNCY grew, so did my awareness of a bigger need: connection. Many incredible creatives, small businesses, and nonprofits lacked visibility.
So, I built what didn’t exist—Heyven—a virtual neighborhood for creators, businesses, and nonprofits designed to connect people, amplify local businesses, and create shared opportunities.
Though VZNCY has closed, I continue to create impactful branding independently and now focus on building meaningful networks through Heyven.
My mission remains the same: Support local business
