Happy New Year! I hope the first few days of 2026 have been lovely and refreshing for you. It’s always nice to have a break over the holidays and be able to reset a bit. I’ve had about 9,783 little treats over the past few weeks, and admittedly am ready for a sense of normalcy and routine again.

It’s officially our wedding year and planning is getting serious now, which has been so exhilarating for me and gives me something to look forward to during these winter months. June 20 will be here so soon!

I am working through my vision board and personal/professional goals for the year, and plan to share more of that on socials in the coming weeks.

Here’s my current 2026 Pinterest Board in case you’re looking for ideas for your own!

2025 Playback

2025 was all about stability at WLL. I worked on several amazing brands, introduced web design into my services, saw past clients open their doors, and even revamped the With Love, Libby brand.
If you were a part of WLL this year, big or small, I cannot thank you enough. Heading into 2026 feeling all the love!

A Quick Trip to Detroit

Koner and I got to spend 36 hours in Detroit, Michigan in December for a speaking engagement for Friedreich’s Ataxia. We had some time to kill, so we visited the Detroit Institute of Arts, which was so amazing! Here are a few of my favorite masterpieces.

Now Booking Projects for 2026

If you’ve been feeling that quiet nudge of *“my brand doesn’t really feel like me anymore”* or *“I know I need a beautifully designed website, I just haven’t done it yet”* — this is your sign.
I’m keeping my 2026 project load intentional so I can give each client the attention they deserve, which means spots do fill up.
