I got invited to sit down with MemberPress, the plugin I use for our membership website, to chat about my story and how I got into creating templates after years of freelancing. 🤩

I was totally burnt on client work and projects and was in search of time freedom, and knew it had to be possible. Thirty One Palms Studio was born from that thought process!

If you’re interested in the full story behind my business journey so far, full interview in bio! 🎉

Have you ever felt burnt from one on one client work, or do you love it?

🚨Let’s see if IG gives this post an AI tag just for having these posters in it, but I promise, I created it myself LOL

We’ve all seen them. Those chaotic, hyper detailed AI poster ads completely taking over our feeds lately. 🫠

And honestly? I completely get the appeal. If you aren’t a designer and don’t want to drop thousands of dollars on a custom rebrand, the idea of typing a prompt and getting a free, instant ad feels like a total cheat code.

“Hell yes, this is the ticket,” right?

But here is the harsh reality: consumers are smart, and they are absolutely roasting these ads in the comments. 😬

When your audience sees a low effort, AI generated graphic, the focus shifts away from your amazing services and straight to the fact that you took a shortcut. It accidentally hurts your reputation because people immediately start wondering: “If they won’t even put effort into their own brand, how good can their services actually be?”

Getting dragged in your own comment section? Definitely not the vibe.

The good news is you don’t have to choose between “slop” and a 5k designer package. The perfect middle ground is high quality templates. They give you the actual thought, strategy, and cohesive look of a pro designer, but you can edit them over and over yourself and expand your brand with full collections designed to work together, like ours!

You don’t always need to burn your brand to the ground. Sometimes, you just need a face lift. 📉

When my sales dipped last year, I looked at my shop with fresh eyes and literally gasped. The platforms had shifted to portrait dimensions, and my old graphics were getting awkwardly cropped into a sea of blank white space. What are we selling here, a blank white block? 🤦🏻‍♀️

The hard truth? My products were still great, but my packaging was actively repelling buyers. Good digital products look incredibly cheap if your visual real estate is stuck in 2021. Guillllty.

If you are feeling bored with your branding or noticing a dip in engagement, here is the secret to upgrading your visuals without ruining the brand recognition you’ve worked so hard to build:

    ✅ Keep the core identity: Don’t throw away your signature colors or logo just because you have fatigue.

    ✅ Update the ex*****on: Shift your focus to modernizing your layouts. Update your aspect ratios for how apps actually display content today (like utilizing full portrait dimensions).

    ✅ Elevate for today’s vibes: Introduce strategic negative space and observe today’s trends, driven by AI, iOS round modern vibes, more color, etc.

I didn’t throw my business away, I just jumped into Canva and elevated the presentation to match the actual quality of what I was selling. The difference is night and day. Products are selling again that no one’s looked at in years.

Next up for 31 Palms? NEW products.

👇 Speaking of trends, I’m super excited for our new seamless carousels! Comment CAROUSEL below and I’ll send the link to our new Nostalgic Neutral and Blush and Black carousels. Other collections coming in the next couple weeks! 🎉

Your pinned posts have three jobs:

1️⃣ Build instant trust (Who are you?)
2️⃣ Sell the solution (What do you do?)
3️⃣ Own the audience (Get them off IG and onto your list.)

If you’re staring at a “low engagement” grid, your pinned posts are likely missing the mark. It’s hard to stand out in a tiny square, especially when you’re trying to look like a million bucks.

That’s why we built the Pinned Post Carousel Kits.

They’re designed to stop the scroll, impress the hell out of your dream clients, and turn “likes” into email subscribers.

Comment “PINNED” and I’ll DM you the link to the templates!

P.S. My current pins perform too well to delete, but I’m low key jealous of everyone using these new aesthetics. 🤣

I thought I had to sound like a Fortune 500 company to charge premium prices. 🤡

When I started my first freelance business, I scrubbed my website of anything that felt “too me.” I hid my face. I used stiff, boring corporate jargon. I even took down a blog that people actually loved because some industry “expert” told me it wasn’t professional enough.

The result? Crickets from my website. 🦗

I became just another faceless designer on the internet. I gave people absolutely zero reason to choose me over the next girl, because I was thought having a personality made me seem like a $10 flyer designer. Boy was that totally wrong.

Here is the harsh truth I had to learn the hard way: Professional does NOT mean boring.

Your personality, your unique point of view, your specific vibe, that is your highest converting asset. When your visual brand finally matches your actual energy, the competition becomes completely irrelevant because there is NO other you.

I spent years unlearning that terrible corporate advice. And then, I created the templates I wish I’d had to start with.🥂

There are sections built right in for your beautiful face, and the vibes? Not something you’ll find in the corporate website platform template libraries.

Ready to stop hiding behind a basic, bland and templated corporate website?

Comment 💬WEBSITE for the link to your already done site!

“My website feels super childish and half done.” 💔

When a customer sent me this message, I wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug. Because I know exactly what that phase feels like.

You’ve outgrown your starter site (or haven’t even really finished that yet!), but you’re terrified of the time it will take to build a new one. So you do nothing. You stay embarrassed. You stop pitching big clients because you don’t want them to look at your homepage and write you off immediately.

Before you empty your fun money fund on a website you’re not sure will get your more clients, there’s another option. Website templates based on actual builds I’d have charged $5k for. Just fill in your personal images, colors and content and you’re done and launched, with a website you’re actually excited to send people to. 💥
