ABOUT SUNDAY MUSE DESIGN®
Your business grew.
Your brand didn’t get the memo.
Here’s the thing about being really good at what you do
You've been in business long enough to know you're good at what you do.
Your clients show up. The referrals come in. The work speaks for itself—people tell you this regularly.
And yet something about the brand feels like it stopped keeping up. The website still says who you were a few years ago. The messaging is close, but when you explain what you do out loud on a podcast or a sales call, it sounds sharper than anything on the page. You've tweaked your homepage at 11pm more than once, trying to fix something you can feel but can't quite name.
That's exactly the kind of thing we fix here.
Sunday Muse was built for founders like you
-
You're sending your website link in a Loom video because you know it needs context. (Every time.)
-
You've evolved—your rates, your clients, your whole sense of what the work is—and the brand hasn't.
-
You want strategy, not just something that looks good on someone else's Instagram.
-
You're ready for the brand to do some of the work so you don't have to do all of it.
We believe strategy and design are the same conversation, and someone should be having both with you at once.
We believe most established founders have more working in their favor than their brand is showing. The fix is usually more surgical than they expect.
We believe a beautiful website that no one can find is just an expensive mood board.
We believe the gap between how good your work is and how it shows up online is closeable. It takes the right eyes on it.
Meet the head muse in charge
Shannon, founder, strategic director, former wedding planner, mom
Hi, I'm Shannon, and before I built brands, I built lesson plans.
I spent years teaching writing and rhetoric—which is really just a long way of saying I spent a long time studying how ideas move people. Then I left the classroom to run a wedding planning business, which I was good at. Really good. And then—not to get too dramatic about it—I coordinated a wedding while having contractions, spent my own anniversary talking a bride off a ledge about centerpieces, and realized I had built something that didn't fit the life I wanted anymore.
After my daughter was born, I sat at my kitchen table with a baby monitor and a conviction I couldn't shake: the founders I kept crossing paths with—photographers repositioning into premium markets, designers building toward luxury clientele, consultants and lawyers and stylists who had earned serious traction—all had the same problem. Their work was genuinely impressive. Their brands weren't showing it.
THAT BECAME THE
WHOLE STUDIO.
Now I run a small studio built around a single observation: good businesses get passed over every day because their brand can't communicate what they've built. The work—strategy, design, messaging, SEO, and the backend stuff most designers skip entirely—exists to fix that. All of it, under one roof, pointed at one thing. Yours.

I have a raised garden bed my husband built me. I can keep vegetables alive in it. Books are harder—my TBR list is evidence of a very specific kind of optimism.
-
I almost moved to Costa Rica once. I've lived in 4 states. I can say the alphabet backwards really fast. None of these facts are connected.
-
My coffee is black, or with a splash of almond milk and a little stevia. Nothing fancy. I've been told this makes me boring at coffee shops & have fully made my peace with it.
-
I'm a Gilmore Girls person, which means I have strong opinions about pop culture, breakfast food, and the pacing of a really good story. I'll connect all three to your brand if you give me enough time.
“MY NEW WEBSITE HELPED ME SELL OUT AN ENTIRE SEASON OF AVAILABILITY!”
“I was ready to grow my business, but wasn’t confident showing off my brand. After Shannon refreshed everything, I relaunched and sold out the next season. My only regret is not doing it sooner.”

2019
Decided to walk away from weddings. It took about two years to fully close that chapter, which feels about right for something you built from scratch.

Ready to close the gap?
If you've been sitting on this decision for a while—clicking around, saving posts, thinking not yet—that's fine. Most of my clients were doing the same thing for months before they reached out.
