So here we are, the Slow Dance Journal —

And you’re probably wondering what you can expect from this space, right? Simply put — this is where the magic happens.

Current inspirations, musings and wanderings, a peek behind the curtains of Slow Dance Studio (and life, because it’s all kind of intertwined at this point). We’ll share some peeks at what we’re working on, what we’re loving and who we’re crushing on (but not like, in a creepy way). There will definitely be some teaching moments, a look at our creative process (yes, the messy side too), and some real talk around what running a creative business really looks like. Sometimes it’ll get a bit personal, and other times, you’ll walk away inspired, or maybe with a new skill or way of looking at things.

Sound good? Perfect — let’s dive in.

In the past when I've heard the term 'luxury branding' mentioned, my mind instantly went to fancy invite only events, unpriced items kept behind glass and an overall air of better-than-thou exclusivity.

Because it’s Friday, and what better time to imagine we’re escaping on a weekend getaway to Victorian mansion turned boutique hotel, @therosemountinn? Instead, we’ll just take a quick little flip through the branding we did for them
