Hi, I’m Brandi, the person behind The Red Heart Press. Nice to meet you.
I am passionate about communication and the art of storytelling. I love lending my skills to help spread the word about all the cool stuff and creative businesses in our community. I also enjoy lending a hand to help ensure events run smoothly.
Over the past decade, I have collaborated on some amazing projects and worked with a diverse group of small business owners.
I began my career in marketing as a young mom finishing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies.
As an adult student, traditional internships weren’t a viable option for our family so I began freelancing doing social media for my friend’s art galleries, small businesses, and local craft shows in Cleveland and its neighboring suburbs. I wanted to help these unique projects succeed by amplifying their stories to the public.
My freelance work gave me the necessary experience I needed to work for non-profits, agencies, and corporations.
I have also launched some fun projects of my own - from podcasts, DJ nights, crafty pop-ups, and most recently — a singles night with a rock ‘n roll edge.
Please keep scrolling to see previous projects I have worked on and drop me a line if you are in need of an idea-wrangler or would like to collaborate together on a project.
