Hi. We're already obsessed with you. And we wanna know everything.
Weβre Alex & Nick. Real life couple, real good design team. We're a boutique branding & web design studio based in Tampa Bay, Florida, serving rad peeps everywhere! We believe in building brands with a human first approach that brings the nostalgia and authentic connection from the 1970's into now.
This page is where we're supposed to list credentials and awards, but since we spent 30+ years slinging drinks, we dont have any. Instead, we'll tell you the story of how we got here, cause we think it'll explain everythingggg.
We're not (that) weird, promise.
Meet Alex
I'm the one texting you, sending you 3 minute audio messages, and putting too many emojis in my emails. What can I say, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
I've always been an overachieving, people pleaser (clearly eldest daughter coded) and while all that can be super problematic without proper boundaries, being 'too much' actually what makes me incredibly good at building brands and websites.

also, feral for a piece of cheese
what had happened was
I was deep in the F&B world when burnout hit HARD. It took a move from NJ to Florida to finally slow down and pull my creativity out of the dusty case I'd been ignoring for years. I put it on the record player. I started jamming. And then things got good. Like, really, really good.
what had happened was
I figured, how hard can it be?
delulu was in fact the solulu
I learned about brand design, did one logo project for a friend (for free!), figured 'how hard is it to start a business?' and launched Scribbled Sage shortly after. I havenβt looked back since. The best part? The proverbial juice was worth every god damn squeeze. I LOVE what I do now.
BUT I CAN TURN YOUR THOUGHTS INTO VISUALS
I'm low key a mind reader. love hearing your stories, goals, fears, & quirks. Even more, I love turning your random inspo into a coherent, complex brand. Fair warning tho: I'm probably gonna drop a bunch of F bombs and laugh too loud. I want you to feel like you're walking into a cozy living room β not a conference room. We're friends and collaborators here. Not money collectors.
i didn't set out be a brand designer
And I've decided that's okay - cause not having one is my superpower. However, I do have a B.A. in Communication Studies: the psychology of connection, the science of emotion. Branding let me blend the strategic, nerdy side of my brain with the creative, artistic one, and tell visual stories that hit on a gut level.
I don't have a design degree
its all good though
YOUR MESSY IDEAS = MAGIC
What started as 'just helping out' became a full-blown creative partnership pretty fast. Together, we build brands and Showit websites with twice the spice and double the brain power.
Nick 's got 17+ years of experience in hospitality, real estate, contracting, and sales. He's got a deep understanding of how systems work, and is the ONLY reason your projects get launched on time. He's our designated web coder, problem fixer, and to-do list crosser offer, all while bumping a fire playlist and putting up with my bullshit π€ͺ

There are no 'REAL' rules in branding. if it works, it works.
connection > clicks
community > competition
blue cheese > ranch
everyone
is creative. periodtttt.
Service providers need flexible brands that grow with them, not rigid ones that cage them.
my tone is clear and defined and now I know who I'm talking to

"My logo feels fresh and sleek, my colors, stickers, and fonts feel like me instead of using things just because they're trendy and my tone is clear and defined and now I know who I'm talking to. Alex and Nick are super communicative and very detailed. They've given me all the tools and more to be successful."

Our brand now is RAVED about by others.

Scribbled Sage was hands down my best investment of 2025. I was nervous to put that much of my hard earned income into a rebrand as a small business owner - but I promise, it's worth it. The conversations, availability, & support feels unmatched and even STILL Alex is available if I need her. That's unheard of these days because people want your money to deliver and peace out but Scribbled Sage is not that way and they want YOU to love it which is awesome.
