Mixie Is just built different
Any designer can create a logo or put together a quick website, but not everyone knows how to guide you through making the tough decisions. It takes a certain type of person to handle your SEO and your copy. You won’t find anyone else who does it all. Beyond the pretty stuff, there is so much that goes into creating a long-lasting and effective brand image.
My background is in psychology, client relationships, community building, user experience, and project management. I am not just a designer. I am your small business creative director, a wilderness guide who is here to help you make it down the winding path of brand and website creation and all that comes along with building a successful business.
Wholeheartedly, Mixie Design Co. believes that success in business comes from more than marketing budgets and massive client lists. It comes from the relationships we all have with one another. If you are looking for something more than just another business acquaintance, you are definitely in the right place.
business image is my jam.
My favorite clients are those who want more out of this entrepreneurial life. The ones who are driven by their inner compass. The ones who care about the world and know they have what it takes to make it better. I love a good small business, but I have a special soft spot for the ones with adventurous spirits.
Creative direction what I focus on most at Mixie, but I can do oh-so-much more. This seemingly small studio has specialties ranging from branding to e-commerce shops, and pretty much everything in between.
No two companies are identical, so no design solution is either. Want to learn more about how I can help you change your corner of the world? Curious if we’re a good match? Reach out! Let’s chat. Once you get to know Mixie, you’ll see why it is so awesome.
nice to meet you
I am Amanda Freeman and I am the owner/small business creative director here at Mixie Design Co. It is my absolute pleasure to work with businesses in multiple fields as they navigate the winding paths of business growth.
Since 2004, I have been in the business of building businesses. Armed with a background in psychology, user experience, and design, I have made it my mission to help others like me find their way to whatever it is they call success. My focus these days is on full scope creative direction; including branding, website design, photography, mission strategy, SEO and growing organic communities. You could say I am a little enthusiastic when it comes to rooting on the small buz community. I’ll be your official hype woman and your closest business confidant, not just your designer.
Currently, I am the chapter leader of Rising Tide Society Southeast Michigan and creative director of Women In Milford. Small business community is the core of who I am and the base of everything I do.
Facts: I know pretty much every line from Parks & Rec, Brooklyn 99, and New Girl. I am big on reading and nerd out over strong female protagonists. Dogs are the best, but my Great Pyrenees mix, Bowie, is the coolest branch manager you could ask for. I can sing you any TLC or Van Morrison song from memory, but you might not want to hear it.
Loves: Nachos. Any kind, any time. Optimism in the face of adversity is the most inspiring. Strong communities can move mountains.
Dislikes: Rude people, wet socks, and closed minds.
I cannot wait to get to know you and learn more about your passions. Let’s team up, work hard, and change your corner of the world together.
With mad love,
Amanda Freeman
Founder + Lead Creative Director
