After experiencing the level of time and effort involved in putting together Webinars, she developed a best practices guide and began to offer turnkey Webinar consulting services.

She loves working with smaller companies to help them achieve their business goals for internet based marketing.

When Mallie isn’t contemplating the creativity of her graphics design work at Go Creative Go!, she’s crafting creative social designs for her social media clients as the Media Barista. This coffee chugging, pretentious hipster music listening, book devouring, mountain biking social media enthusiast thinks there’s something creative to be found in each and every business and entrepreneur. Color connotation, word choice, alliteration and a canny ability to think themes are but a few of the weapons she holsters as part of her social design arsenal. The coffee pot is always on, the music is always blaring and there’s generally a snoring cat underfoot. Ahhhhhhhh…the recipe for chaos to some, but to Mallie? A recipe for creativity! Social design is more than your color scheme, font, avatar, logo and other parts of your identity. It’s the embodiment of who you are and who you want your potential followers and connections to see, know and trust. It’s about layers of tone, connotation, understanding and the ability to create the you that is genuine and more than worthy of the follow, the like, the circle, etc.
