Do things that scare you / Normalize the chaos / Take the trip / Create your life by design
WHAT I BELIEVE IN
Do things that scare you — in life and business. Jump out of the airplane and build the parachute on the way down — it’s the best scenic view and you’ll get where you want to go so much sooner.
Normalize the bad days– we’ve all been there. We have a long way to go to normalize mental health in business — we don’t talk about it enough! Struggling doesn’t make you a failure — it just means you’re human.
Take the trip. Paris is always a good idea :). Experiences are priceless, and there are few things more profound than seeing the world, being exposed to other cultures, and embracing new challenges. (Did you know I cohost retreats for business owners in Canada and all over the world with my bestie?!)
Create your life by design. Always prioritize your goals, needs, and (yes!!) wants. Create a life and business that works for YOUR unique talents, the shape of your life, and the way you thrive. (It’s why I primarily offer VIP days. I’m a pro at working in sprints!)
I know how challenging it is to feel like you’re standing at the edge of a major gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
Maybe you’re wanting to work with more of your dream clients. Maybe you’re looking to raise your prices. Or maybe you’re ready to finally feel confident in your brand. That’s where strategic brand design has the power to shine.
But I also know trying to DIY your brand or website on “easy-to-use” platforms is enough to have you pouring another glass bottle of wine.
So, why don’t you pass that bottle over to me? I’ll save it for a toast later – once we finish your new brand identity!
I'm Colleen Stark, a Canada-based designer who helps you uncover the heart of your business. And then, I create and curate a brand identity to showcase it.
the designer
While Stark is my family name, haus is the German spelling of ‘house’ – a nod to my grandparents who immigrated to Canada by way of German settlements from Romania and Yugoslavia.
A brand can be like a house in that it is the true home, values, and intent behind our businesses. As small creative brands, we put so much heart into everything we do that our businesses are a sort of home.
Building a house on an uneven foundation can make a house fall down, but a haus that’s built with the right materials will stay standing and endure.
