About

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) damaged my brain. (You can even read the whole story here.) 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.

From personal experience, I learned that our brains remember what is clear, what repeats, and what makes a physical and emotional impact. And these aren't just neuroscience principles — they’re business principles.

So that's what Inkling Creative started doing.

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 (this is where good design comes in), consistent (this is where excellent branding is useful), and tangible (this is where quality printing makes a difference).

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.

What I do

What Inkling Creative Creates

I specialize in print branding for Florida contractors and local professionals — businesses built on reputation, relationships, and trust. I provide the following services that will ensure you're not forgotten.

Graphic Design That's Clear

Clean, simple designs your customers understand immediately. No confusion, no clutter, no wasted mental energy.

Branding That Repeats

Consistent visual systems across everything you create. Same colors, same fonts, same message — different formats. This is how patterns form.

Print That Makes an Impact

Business cards, brochures, packaging, and marketing materials that people hold, keep, and remember. Physical presence in a digital world.

Remember, the quality of the paper reflects the quality of the company. You can read more about how this works in my neuroscience of touch blog series.
