Monarch Design Co

has been doing things the right way since 2004. small batches, therapeutic-grade oils, a founder who has never once taken a shortcut. twenty years of that kind of intention builds something you don’t just redesign, you evolve it.

our job was to give it room to grow. an evolutionary refresh that honoured the original and built something current enough to carry the next twenty years. fresher, more built-out, and a website that finally matches the quality of what’s inside every bottle.

and the website is an experience on its own, which felt right for a brand that’s entirely about the sensory. 🌿

yes, I am a genuine fan. the new personal care line has been living on my shower shelf since it launched. the shower mist is my absolute favourite, the face oil is stunning, and the body wash and lotion are the kind of quality you just don’t find everywhere.

head to aromacare.ca to browse, shop, and give them a follow while you’re at it.

if your brand has grown into something your current look can’t hold anymore, let’s talk.

Last year, I walked into this room on a whim…
3 weeks postpartum, baby on my chest, wondering what I was doing there.

This year was different in so many ways
I walked in a new version of myself
leaving both my babies overnight for the first time.

And wow… what a difference a year makes.

Not just in logistics but in who I am.

If I could go back and sit beside that version of me, I’d tell her:
You belong here.
You’re not behind.
You’re allowed to take up space in both motherhood and business.

Last year, I was in and out of sessions… feeding, changing, trying to keep up.

This year, something simple stuck with me:
Take what you need, and leave the rest -

And looking back, that’s exactly what happened this past year

The right connections stayed.
The aligned opportunities grew.
And everything else fell away. ✌🏼

This year felt more grounded
But still very much in the middle of becoming.

I’m so excited to see what this next year holds…
and who I’ll be when I’m back here again reflecting on it 🤍

And what you’ve created with is truly something special. So grateful to be in this room.
