Meet Ren. Bougie hippie. Brand strategist.
Believer in magic and Oxford commas.
At some point, your brand has to match who you've become.
Starstuff Studio was born from a truth I've lived on both sides of: corporate and consciousness.
You can do the inner work.
You can understand tools and mechanics.
You can have the vision.
You can know, with every part of you, who you're becoming.
But if your brand still looks and sounds like who you used to be...
the world will keep meeting you as your old self.
My truth.
In late 2025, something shifted, and the universe made a decision before I did.
There was a moment when the corporate role I was in, the one I built my life around, ended.
And yet, it didn't feel as jarring as I would have expected.
Because somewhere along the way, I had already started listening differently.
I was paying attention to the things I used to brush off.
The energy in the rooms.
The quieter signals.
The ones that don't announce themselves... they're felt.
By then, I had spent years studying consciousness, neuroscience, and mind-body work.
All of it had given me a framework for this kind of moment:
It wasn't a crisis – but an invitation.
The kind where you stop trying to create a new version of your old life.
You build what's been waiting.
The invitation.
My passion became a career.
Then a craft.
Then something deeper:
Who I am.
I was good at it. Really good.
Consumed by it.
Yet somewhere along the way, I forgot the part of me that giggled at the magic of snowflakes and dripping icicle fonts.
I loved it.
Not just the news – the typography.
The way a single design choice could make words feel even more alive.
That's where the nerdness was born.
The love of language and imagery.
The belief that how you say something is inseparable from what you say.
That instinct stayed with me.
Into a decades long career in mining, publishing, real estate, and telecommunications – witnessing American telecom history unfold, from the Bell System breakup to the digital present.
I was ten years old, schlepping newspapers through western Pennsylvania winters in a small town called New Castle.
Quite the culture shock for a New York City kid.
But somewhere between frozen fingers and ink-stained hands, the foundation of a career was quietly being laid.
The local paper, the New Castle News, used to change its logo font whenever it snowed in the winter to include snowflakes and letters with dripping icicles.
Where it all began.
My work lives at the intersection of neuroscience, strategic communication, and the deep knowing that comes from decades of consciousness work. Everything I do flows through these three pillars:
Words aren't decoration. They're architecture. Strategic copywriting that expresses your voice, communicates your value, and captures the kind of resonance that turns browsers into believers.
Your visual brand is your first conversation – and your first impression. Think atmospheric brand photos, lifestyle imagery, and portraits created with AI, designed around you. No boring cliché stock photos.
When everything finally works together – your words, your images, your story, all saying the same thing. Your brand stops feeling like a costume and starts feeling like a homecoming.
A portion of every Starstuff Studio project goes directly to the Golden Angel Fund at Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, providing medical care for golden retrievers with special needs. Because every golden should feel love.
Max has been my steadfast reminder, through many corporate deadlines, reinventions, and all the in-between seasons.
He has no interest in product placement, performance, positioning, or five-year plans.
He just shows up daily as his authentic self.
Just like your brand should.

a bio tells you what I do.
Here's who i am.
I've been officially, accurately branded.
My playlist makes absolutely no sense and I love it.
My understanding of reality cracked open in a Houston auditorium in the 1980s.
Outlander is the best book series and TV series, bar none.
I'm the daughter of history and am going home.
Aurora borealis over Colorado, captured with my son – proof that magic shows up when you're paying attention.
No pitch. No pressure.
Just a conversation about where you're going – and what it might look like when you get there.
