And just like that… welcome CortHouse!

It was a leap of faith. I had no idea what I was doing, but it sustained me. It helped me build something for myself while I figured out what was next.

When I moved back to Boston at the end of 2024, I had to decide what to do with my LLC since it was Texas-based. I ultimately decided to close it. It was a little sad, but it also gave me the opportunity to build something new, something bigger.

By then I had grown a lot professionally. More than two years after launching Cort Creative, I had worked with so many brands, put myself out there, and built a portfolio and confidence that I was really proud of.

Then in April 2025, while building a website for a client, I realized something: my own website and brand no longer reflected who I was.

So I started over.

I scrapped my entire website, upgraded my WordPress plan, and bought Elementor (and old flame which quickly became the LOML). I began rebuilding everything from the ground up. But then I hit a snag: what did I actually want my brand to look like?

If you know me, you know making decisions is not my strong suit, especially when it comes to decisions for myself.

Once I landed on CortHouse, the fonts, logo, and color palette went through what felt like a hundred different adjustments. Before I knew it, it was August and I was ready to launch… but something still didn’t feel right. It felt like a brand that couldn’t grow with me.

So I kept going.

I finalized the branding in October 2025. Yes, almost six months after starting the process. But I wanted, no needed, it to feel right.

At the same time, I was working two jobs, traveling a bit, and then the holidays rolled around. Suddenly it was 2026. If I’m being honest, I’m not entirely sure where the first two months of the year went. They flew by. I onboarded a new client and focused on organizing my life and business.

And now we’re here.
