All design begins with an inkling, and each inkling has the potential to be a work of art.
Everything I Know About Making Businesses Memorable, I Learned While Relearning How to Remember
In 2012, I woke up from a coma not knowing how to eat, drink, walk, talk, or remember.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) damaged my brain. Recovery took a year of relearning everything — including how memory actually works.
Most people take memory for granted. I couldn't. So I studied it obsessively.
I learned that our brains remember what is clear, what repeats, and what makes a physical and emotional impact. These aren't just neuroscience principles — they’re business principles.
And that's why I started Inkling Creative.
I help businesses become unforgettable by applying what I learned during the hardest year of my life: if you want people to remember you, you need to be clear (design), consistent (branding), and tangible (print).

What I learned
Why Most Businesses Are Forgotten
Most businesses fail at being memorable because they ignore how brains actually work. Here's what I learned:
1. We Remember What Is Clear
Your message can't be complicated. If a brain-injured version of me couldn't understand your branding in 10 seconds, your customers won’t either. Simplicity isn't dumbing down — it’s respecting how people process information.
2. We Remember What Repeats
Your brand needs to look the same everywhere — website, business cards, brochures, packaging, everything. Consistency creates patterns, and patterns create memory. This is neuroscience, not preference.
3. We Remember What Makes an Impact
Digital content scrolls away. Physical materials stay. When clients hold something you've printed, they remember you 70% longer than if they’d seen it on a screen. (I can cite the research, but I also lived it — after my injury, things that made an emotional impact, and physical reminders, were the only things that stuck.)
How I got here
I've been creating things since I was a kid asking for art supplies at Christmas. (I think Spin Art* was my favorite). I switched from business to graphic design in college when I realized my suitemate's homework looked more fun than mine.
But I didn't truly understand the power of design until after my brain injury —when I had to relearn what makes things stick.
As a Christian, I believe God is the first designer, and we're made in His image. That means excellent, beautiful, ordered design isn't just good business — it’s part of how I honor Him and serve you.

Why "Inkling Creative"?
In comic book artistry, an "inker" is the artist who gives sketched ideas depth and definition. That's what I do — I take your vision and make it tangible, memorable, real.
