The story behind my logo:

The blue morpho butterfly. When its wings are closed, it looks dusty and brown but when they open you see iridescent blue. I believe everyone has that iridescent blue inside but sometimes we just feel brown because of life’s challenges/stresses. I help connect people to the amazing color inside them.
