Well friends, after nearly 10 years as R Artspace, I'm practicing what I preach and I am rebranding to reflect who I am today and where I am headed. My business is now Rebrand with RuthAnn! With a new business name, new website, and so many more things, I’m sharing a look into what went into this decision to rebrand, why now, and how this impacts you.

In this episode, I sit down with my past client Meg Salisbury - an actor, model, and mindset coach - to talk about how her rebrand transformed her confidence and helped her book more roles. Meg shares what it was like investing in herself during her 'Glow Up Year,' the importance of branding in today's social media-driven acting industry, and what to look for when hiring a designer. If you've ever wondered whether outsourcing your branding is worth the investment, this conversation will show you exactly how it can position you for growth.

It’s time to embrace more peace and take home more money in 2026 and these 10 small changes I’ve made have helped me do just that. Of course, take what works and leave the rest but I hope it gives you some ideas or inspiration for how you can make more, with more calm.

How long does a brand and website design actually take? If you've been putting off a rebrand because you think you don't have time, this episode is for you. This is also for you if a rebrand has been on your mind, maybe not an active goal for right now, but this is something you’re considering for the future. This episode will give you great food for thought.

You've set your goals for 2026, but is your brand gonna help you achieve those? In this episode, I'm walking you through the often-overlooked 5-question audit that determines whether your current brand and website can actually carry you to where you want to go - or if it's quietly holding you back.

It’s that time of year where I do my Year in Review wrap up where I lay out the wins, losses, changes, and big lessons I’ve learned from the year. This is not a teaching episode or business value-packed episode but rather it’s a girlfriend style chat, sharing the real, the raw, and behind the scenes messy middle of being a business owner and a mom of littles, and figuring it out as I go. 

She works with the same types of clients I do, why would I be friends with her? What if their design style influences my own style? What if I feel jealous and competitive? These are the topics fellow brand designer Allison Burns and I get into. While our chat is design-industry specific you can take our conversation and apply it to any industry you might be in. We talk about many obvious and not-so-obvious reasons connections in your industry are so important and why you should make it a priority in your business.

This spring, I shut down my agency model, let go of my team, and went back to solo work. It looked like a failure from the outside, but it was actually one of the smartest decisions I've made. In this episode, I'm sharing the real story of why my pivot didn't work - the time crunch with little kids, the lead generation reality, and the comparison trap that made me think I should be able to do what other designers were doing. If you've ever had to course-correct a business decision, this one's for you.

If you have a podcast, want to start a podcast, or are looking for ways to grow your podcast, this is the episode for you.

Haley is also my client, and I had the absolute pleasure of redesigning her brand and Squarespace website in 2024. Haley shared how her business has grown, as well as her confidence, since we relaunched her website.

Don’t dive into the website process before you consider what I’m about to share. Because a website redesign is a big undertaking of your time, money, energy, and you deserve the best outcome where your website is your best employee working hard for you all the time. So let’s get into it.
