New here? Hi, I’m Ashley. Swipe through to get to know me and Monarch Design Co.
I’m the person behind the brands of established visionaries + business owners who have outgrown their DIY era. I build strategic brands + websites that do the heavy lifting before a discovery call ever happens.
If your brand has been pushed to the back burner as a something you “really need to fix,” that feeling is worth paying attention to.
Let’s start the conversation and see what’s possible
About last night… ✨
What an incredible evening.
Bubbles & Boobies was incredible and the room was filled with an amazing group of women coming together to connect, learn, and have important conversations around breast and women’s health.
There was something really special about seeing so many women show up for themselves and one another.
From the thoughtful conversations to the expert insights shared throughout the evening, it was a powerful reminder of how important community and education are when it comes to our health and well-being.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, our incredible speakers, sponsors, and the Titty Committee team who helped bring this event to life.
The energy in the room was warm, supportive, and empowering, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.
Here’s to more events like this that create space for connection, awareness, and meaningful conversations. 💗

a little re-introduction for the new faces around here. 👋🏼
I’m Ashley, creative director and owner of Monarch Design Co. I’m an RGD, a Showit Design Partner, and I have 15+ years of experience building brands and websites for established business owners who are ready for something that finally keeps up with them.
I also bake a lot of sourdough, have two little ones who run the show, and I’m in my granny hobby era (knitting, sewing, gardening etc).
I work with service based brands including professional organizers, wedding pros, photographers, wellness brands, creative entrepreneurs + more who have outgrown their DIY era and are ready for a brand that reflects the depth they’ve actually built.
if that’s you, or if you just love a good brand, stick around. So glad you’re here. 🌿
drop your fav hobby below! I want to know who I’m talking to.
okay so I’ve been sitting on this for a little while, sharing quietly with my email list and a few people I trust... and now I’m ready to just go for it. 💛
the new Monarch Design Co. is here. new website, new copy (shoutout to @copybylaura ), refreshed photos thanks to @brandynhphoto and a brand refresh that finally feels like me again.
I outgrew my old brand. not because it was bad, it served me well, but I kept sending people to my website and feeling this low key cringe about it. like it didn’t match where I actually was anymore. I had been meaning to update my portfolio, the messaging felt like an older version of me. the look felt like I was playing it safe.
After two back to back babies, making my way through the postpartum fog, and honestly a full season of just surviving... I think I lost a little of my colour for a while. I went full sad beige mom without even meaning to. 😂
but I’m back. I’ve got my pink back. I’m ready to be seen again.
The new site reflects what I’ve always believed about this work—that your brand isn’t just about looking good. it’s about feeling so aligned with where you’re going that your clients feel it too. it’s about stepping into the version of your business that matches everything you’ve already built.
that’s what I do for my clients every single day. and it was time to do it for myself.

BubblesAndBoobies
April was full in the best way.
@thismothermeansbusiness live, library mornings with the kids, getting the garden beds ready, the kind of month that felt really grounding and good.
The littlest started daycare part time (I was totally fine about it 😅) and honestly the extra quiet hours have been good for the brain and just having more capacity to think and work on my business too not just client work.
Bubbles & Boobies planning with @rooted_naturopathic_clinic + @jwalshsocial is ONE WEEK AWAY - grab your ticket if you haven’t yet!! Coworking at @sandboxcentre and @urbangrind.coffee.co has been a regular thing and I’m never going back to being home-bound five days a week.
And the big one.. we finally shot the new Monarch brand photos with @brandynhphoto . And I wrapped up my incredible mentorship with Jen @hellojunecreative and finally feel like I got my pink back 🦩
The refresh is coming and I cannot wait to show you everything. 🦋
How was your April? ↓
when your ideal client is a designer, your brand has to be the proof of concept.
Michaila runs Behind Your Studio—an OBM built specifically for brand and web designers. she helps them look as polished on the backend as they do on the front.
So when she came to us with a brand she’d built in Canva that never quite felt right, she already knew exactly what was at stake.
A designer is going to look at your brand and know immediately whether it was built with care or thrown together.
That’s not a challenge. that’s a brief.
We built her something that could walk into a designer’s inbox and belong there from the first glance: a rich, considered purple paired with olive. done with intention. clear colour hierarchy. assets ready to use from day one. brand guidelines she could actually build with
In her words: she was never truly happy with her brand until she decided to hire Monarch. and building her website with the new guidelines was so seamless.
strategy first. always. 🦋

Introducing the NEW Behind Your Studio. 😍
If you have an eye for colour and detail, you’re exactly who I built this for.
When I niched down to Brand and Web Designers, keeping a DIY-looking brand was no longer an option. My clients notice everything. So I needed a brand that felt trustworthy and timeless, but still had a personality.
I briefed my designer friend and did she ever fucking deliver. I am obsessed.
