But in the middle of all of it, I had to stop for a second and realize life has a weird way of bringing things full circle. Before The Collective, bef


Your Brain is a House
The way we see ourselves and the world around us is a lot like decorating rooms in a house. If the brain is the house, our belief systems are the rooms. These rooms are typically what dictate our reactions and behavior. Early experiences, especially in the first few years of life, lay the foundation, create the rooms, and decorate to our liking.

When your navigation is unclear, your services aren’t easy to understand, or your messaging doesn’t land right away, people don’t always take the next step. Avenue Bee Studio's Website Audit is a focused, strategic review designed to help you understand where your site is falling short and what to fix first, so it can better support inquiries, trust and growth.

Small Business Month
When I started The Collective, I didn’t have some perfectly mapped-out plan for what it would become. I had a clear feeling, though. I knew what it felt like to be building something without a roadmap and what it felt like to be figuring things out in real time, trying to make the right decisions without always having the right information.
