About

Hello – I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Michaela, the eccentric soul behind the W. Rose Creative brand. I grew up barefoot with a camera in hand, and loving the stories of other people’s lives.

College is really where W. Rose Creative, as it’s known today, was born. I attended the Ohio State University and graduated with a degree in Agricultural Communication and Agribusiness. 

During those years, my new found acquaintance Dave Ramsey, drove me to make money any way I could and to be scrappy where I couldn’t. I started a blog to hone my writing skills. I learned how to use Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite to make graphics, fliers, and more for anyone who asked. I approached a company at the school job fair and asked to help with their business presence, which became my  first marketing client. From there brand guides, marketing and business plans were birthed from school projects and job experience. 

So how does all this tie into W. Rose Creative? My college years and the years to follow have been spent sharpening the tools in my tool belt along with a growing desire to help people with their businesses. 

To this day I am infatuated with stories and have grown especially fond of telling them through photography, writing and small business branding and marketing. When I have free time I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping or my favorite, hammocking.

If you’re ready to take your small business, blog or personal endeavor to the next level, fill out a contact form or give me a call. 

Stay Adventurous,

Michaela
