Expand Your Reach
My super power is organization and team building. I started my career in software and game development as a Producer on world-class products like Microsoft Windows, Xbox and notable game studios like EA PopCap. I am currently a business consultant – focused on helping small businesses because, let’s face it, big business has all the help they need.
Now I am focusing my skills on making design team management and social media marketing easier for you!
I run a talented team of designers who are ready to help you reach a new audience of potential customers! You can focus on the creative side of your business by working with us to meet your marketing needs.

Why Choose My Team
I’m offering you the ability to put more of your time into your business. To reach new heights, your business needs more of YOU — your creativity, your talent and your passion. Time you spend recruiting, training and managing a design team can be time better used to grow your business.
It’s undeniable that project inspiration is a critical marketing tool for every craft company. Not only do I have an incredibly talented team of designers who offer a diverse set of skills, but collectively we have the marketing potential to reach these audience sizes:

My team of designers are all dedicated to their passion for papercrafting and active on social media. You have access to a fast-growing team of best-in-class designers — some of whom don’t apply or accept full-time DT positions.
My team can usher in fresh new inspiration and new customers to your brand.
WHY CHooSE ME
I can provide a variety of services such as DT Management, Virtual Retreat Planning, Newsletter writing, etc.
My unique combination of experience and skills means I can provide value to you and your company in a wide variety of ways. I’ve been running my own small business for over 10 years now and I understand the unique challenges to small business. Having been on over 20 design teams and managing a handful of them myself, I also understand the perspective of designers. Keeping a positive relationship between your company and designers working with your product means a beautiful long-term relationship and ultimately quality inspiration and marketing.
As a designer and influencer, my platform is constantly growing. So I understand the goals and desires of designers and can advocate for what’s fair and reasonable for them. And as a business consultant by day, experienced in marketing, business and financial analysis, I am uniquely able to balance the needs of your business with the needs of designers.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have my own DT. Why would I choose your team?
With the same designers sharing to the same audience, your new customer acquisition may stall. Our team can be a source of fresh new potential customers.
There are many reasons to choose us:
- Reach new potential customers by having an ever-changing source of new designers share fresh inspiration to new audiences.
- Effortless scale up your marketing when you need it.
- Have access to best-in-class designers creating with your products.
- Tap into content formats you might not already have experts in on your team (e.g. Video or Reels)
You can maintain a smaller design team and with minimal effort magnify your reach for major releases.
Whether your releases are like clockwork or they come and go at the whim of your creativity, there may be times you find yourself needing a surge of promotion. You no longer have to recruit and manage new designers or guest designers or have the constant overhead of running a larger team. You can easily set up a campaign with my team and instantly have access to a wide and ever-growing audience.
Why do you require an affiliate program?
This is one way designers can earn actual cash for the work they put into your campaign. Product compensation is wonderful, but it does not pay for materials (paper, glue, etc.), equipment, supplies and in some cases software and other services to produce high quality content.
Why do you require Minimum Retail Value in product?
The products you provide are the tools/supplies the designer needs to promote your brand, but they also make up the majority of the compensation the designer receives for their work, their talent, and their brand influence.
Some deliverables take more time, more skill and are more high value when it comes to converting on sales. For this reason, designers should be compensated fairly for their time and skill.
Why do you charge for buying the content - shouldn't the product cover that?
Designers understand that their compensation is primarily in the form of free product. We love getting to work with your beautiful products, but it doesn’t pay for other expenses we incur. However, having the content on our profile does help us gain views, subscribers/ followers, ad revenue and affiliate sales. That trade-off is something we’re comfortable with.
Your cash payment when you buy our content to post to your profile covers our loss in all those things — which now become an additional gain for your company. You now benefit from the views, the subscribers / followers, any ad revenue and save on paying affiliate commissions as a result of having that content on your profile.
The designers should be compensated for the additional value you’ve gained.
Do I get to pick the participating designers?
The short answer is No. Designers do their best work when they choose what products they get to work with and on what timeline. You can request certain designers and they will be given first opportunity to volunteer for your campaign, but their availability and participation are not guaranteed.
What if you don't have enough designers for my campaign?
You only need to supply products to the designers who have signed up for your campaign. If I can’t secure enough designers to meet your needs, you have the option to not move forward.
When do I make payment?
Once the campaign is finalized and designers have been assigned, you will be invoiced for my fees.
If you choose to buy the content from my designer, you will be expected to pay them via PayPal after the project is complete.
Will photos be watermarked?
Yes. Photos will have my team’s watermark customized to include your company logo and the designer’s name/handle.
I want the projects shared on my socials too? How do I get it?
For every campaign, you will have access to download all the watermarked photos so you can share to your socials as well.
You can optionally buy the content from the designer – physical card, blog post, reel, or video. Instead of the designer posting their blog, reel or video to their personal socials, you can post to your company socials exclusively. The designer will still share the project photo to their socials and link to the full post on your profile/page.
(For example, if you buy a designer’s video to post on your YT channel, our designer will only upload it to your channel, but they will share a link to that video to their personal YT community page and across their socials.)
Can designers post their content directly to my socials?
Yes. The Panda Team has a single account you will need to grant permissions. This allows you to easily buy content from multiple designers without having to individually grant permissions to each designer participating on your campaign.
Do I have to buy ALL the content?
No. Buying content is completely your choice. You can pick and choose which participating designer’s content you want to buy. You will need to inform me of your intent to buy when we create the campaign. This ensures the designer does not post it to their personal channel, so the content can live on your social platforms exclusively.
I don't have a DT. Can I just use yours?
Yes! We are available and at your service. For regular on-going campaigns, special pricing and recurring automatic payment can be arranged.
Can I recruit your designers to join my DT - either full-time or as a guest?
Yes, please do! I have a page dedicated to showcasing my team for just that purpose. Each designer has their own portfolio as well. Feel free to reach out to them directly if you would like.
