Full Mood Studio

05/22/2026

Full Mood Studio is FIVE today!

I’m taking some time to reflect, celebrate, and look back at the past year. To every client, friend, and family member who has been there with me, challenged me, and supported this process THANK YOU🤍 I’m incredibly grateful for the growth and the shedding of old layers along the way.

Past Year Highlights:
🎨 Carlos Elementary Mural: I am still feeling euphoric from this one. With 120 kids, parents, and teachers helping out, it was incredibly rewarding to see the creativity and enjoyment from the kids as helped paint.
🏢 Entrepreneur District (Year 2): Having this office space and a supportive group of women business owners has been something I didn't know I needed. I’m continuing to offer website design, branding, and mural services, and this program keeps me connected and inspired.
🌱 Intermediate Herbalism: I completed an intensive summer camp training with Gigi from the Green Wisdom School, identifying so many plants and learning the importance of working with them.
🌸 Flower & Herb Collective: We planted 50 unique herbs at the Community Gardens. This year we are continuing to learn and build out our own home apothecaries.
🧺 Foraging & Preserving: I spent the year processing tons of veggies, harvesting bog cranberries, making ground cherry jelly, and preserving thousands of seeds. Next: more foraging and finally using my mill to grind wheat berries for homemade bread.
🚙 Travel Adventures: Cory and I went on an amazing road trip through Glacier, Banff, and Jasper National Parks last summer, and an incredible winter trip to Hawaii with a group of friends.

I’ve realized how important for me it is to integrate life and business. While I collaborate with clients across all industries, I especially love partnering with those focused on food, art, nature, culture, and wellness. Sharing those values makes the work grind so much more fulfilling. Thank you all for being here for the full mood journey.

Andrea's website is launched!
Check it out here: andreavduarte.com

Thanks for the lovely review:
“Chalsey is the absolute best person to collaborate with! Thanks to Springboard's recommendation, I reached out to Chalsey after receiving an artistic grant to create a professional website, and she exceeded every expectation. Not only did she design a beautiful new site, but she also expertly merged content from a separate, older website into this new space. What I appreciate most about Chalsey is that she is a gifted listener who asks the right questions before diving in. She put in an incredible amount of legwork before our meetings; she always arrived with diverse ideas for the design and layout ready to go. I was in awe of the massive amount of maneuvering she did to ensure my old content worked perfectly in the new layout, and she did it all with a fantastic, friendly attitude. I am thrilled with the final result and couldn’t have asked for a better partner for this project!”–Andrea V. Duarte-Alonso

Over the past couple of months I've been collaborating with Andrea on a website to support her writing and storytelling. She has this amazing project called "Stories from Unheard Voices" where she interviews immigrants and children of immigrants across Minnesota. The website started out simple, and of course I made it a bit larger to show off all of her experiences, talents, and partnerships. Andrea is a big community advocate and facilitates workshops, mentors kids, participates in fellowship programs, and has a full time role teaching on top of all of that. Through the lens of design, marketing and strategy, we built her brand visuals, celebrated her voice, and now she has an online space to advocate for more community work.

Check out her projects on her new website: andreavduarte.com

And, if you know any immigrants with stories to share, there is a form to fill out to get connected.

Marketing your business can feel like a lot.

Piecing it together on your own, wondering what actually matters, what’s worth your time, and how to move forward, can leave you feeling stuck or second-guessing your direction.

You don’t have to do it alone.

For $400/month, I offer ongoing marketing support and creative direction for business owners who have the desire to do the work, but want to move forward with more clarity, structure, and momentum.

This is for you if you’re looking for:
• Clear focused marketing goals
• Alignment with your vision and direction
• Consistent momentum (without the overwhelm)

We’ll start by getting clear on your goals, then I’ll support you as you take action, helping you shape your ideas, refine your direction, and make confident decisions along the way.

What you get:
• One monthly strategy meeting
• Ongoing accountability + feedback
• Meeting notes with clear next steps

This is about having a creative partner and strategist in your corner, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with intention.

If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been needing, I’d love to connect.

Over the past couple months, I worked with Lindsey the founder and lead photographer at LS Photography Co. to develop a brand board that felt professional and aligned with her photography business. Thanks for sharing your review Lindsey! It was great to collaborate with you on the brand vision.

"Chalsey was the hero I didn’t even know I needed! She originally booked a photo session with me, and of course I had to creep on her Facebook and website first, and WOW. What I saw completely opened my eyes to what my brand could look like.

I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome in my business because I didn’t feel like my brand looked “professional enough.” Enter Chalsey. Because of her, I now feel proud to share my business, show up on social media, and display my brand everywhere I can.

One thing I appreciated most was how collaborative she was. She offered to take full creative control, but also happily scheduled in-depth meetings because I wanted to be part of the creative process (I’m picky, lol). She truly listened to my thoughts while also offering her honest, professional opinion and she kept my heart and vision at the center of everything.

The process was smoother and faster than I expected, even during the holidays! She started with a consultation to make sure we were the right fit (an easy yes), then sent brand boards and visuals for me to react to, which I loved because I’m such a visual person. We met in person, stayed connected through email, and she kept me involved every step of the way while refining logos, fonts, colors, and overall direction.
We’re now moving on to revamping my website, and I’m 100% confident she’ll elevate everything while staying true to my vibe.

Chalsey is incredibly talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone starting a business, rebranding, or wanting a more cohesive, professional presence. She didn’t just create a brand for me, she helped me step confidently into the next version of my business."

Need help building a new website?

Join me in Fergus Falls on February 6th from 1-4PM for a workshop at Springboard for the Arts!

Building an Artist Website with Squarespace
IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
Fergus Falls, Minnesota

This three-hour session combines a one-hour instructional workshop with a two-hour guided work session to help artists build or refine a professional website using Squarespace. The workshop portion will cover the essentials of planning and structuring an artist website, including choosing a template, organizing pages, presenting artwork or projects, writing clear and accessible content, and understanding the basics of domains, navigation, and SEO.

The guided work session that follows is a supported study hall where participants can apply what they’ve learned to their own sites in real time. Attendees will have time to set up pages, upload content, troubleshoot issues, and get individualized help and feedback.

No technical background required, but participants should bring a laptop and have a Squarespace account set up beforehand. While this workshop is free, please note that Squarespace plans generally range from $16–$23 per month, billed annually. A paid plan is not required during the workshop, but is needed to publish a site publicly afterwards. If you’re not sure if Squarespace is right for you long-term, you can sign up for a free trial period, which is sufficient for participating in the session.

Space is limited to 12 participants to allow for discussion and individual questions. Coffee, tea and light snacks will be provided.

This workshop is a good fit if you:
🔸 Need a website but don’t know where to start
🔸 Have a site that feels outdated or unclear
🔸 Want hands-on help in a supportive small-group setting
🔸 Are ready to make progress, not aim for perfection
