SMK & Co.
Tax, accounting, and compliance expert Sheena Keo decided to branch out on her own to help solo women founders reach their financial potential. She wanted an approachable yet straightforward brand that would not only appeal to the right audience, but that was a reflection of her own personality. Having just returned from Morocco and feeling inspired, we chose global symbols of abundance in colors that represent power, wealth, protection, and her own dream of retiring on the Amalfi Coast.

FROM WOMEN FOUNDERS
"Working with Erika was an absolutely transformative experience, both personally and professionally. She took me through everything from getting clear on my brand mission, to identifying my brand personality and legacy. I learned a wide wealth of knowledge that has completely transformed how I view my business and has invigorated my passion and commitment to my greater WHY. Thank you Erika from the bottom of my heart!
Alessandra Salituri, Founder & CEO, Citizen Atelier, Montreal
"I went on this trip thinking it was a business trip with the hope of maybe making at least one friend, but what actually ended up happening was I met 9 lifelong friends that I happened to discuss business with. I will be forever grateful to Erika as she curated a group that included such diverse women whom all I could relate to in one way or another and I look forward to watching them all grow and succeed not only in business but their personal life. Anyone would be crazy NOT to attend something Erika puts together."
Sheena Keo, SMK & CO.
"From day one, Erika demonstrated professional unparalleled dedication and creativity in crafting a unique brand identity for my business. She truly understood my vision and goals, leveraging her 20+ years of expertise to develop a brand guide that resonates with my target audience. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to establish a strong and memorable brand presence from your website to social media to business cards and more… Erika, thank you for making SMK & Co’s brand exactly what envisioned."
Sheena Keo, SMK & Co.
"This retreat was truly life changing. I felt my travel to be very purposeful since I was able to contribute to something much bigger than myself. I am so grateful to Erika for putting all of this together, with every detail intricately woven into the beauty of the retreat. It doesn’t matter what stage of business you are in, every woman leader needs a space like this. To feel empowered, comfortable, and unapologetic around other women that are free to do the same. The lifelong friendships I have made here will be taken with me forever. My mind is blown as I try to absorb every piece of valuable experience I got in such a short time. My body, mind, and soul are happy. Thank you Erika 💕"
Brianna Diaz, BriGainz
"Thanks to the retreat, I found my group of trusted people and a space I can rely on. Although it was daunting at first to spend an entire week with strangers I only had one Zoom call with, throughout the week we got closer and closer to one another, started forming real relationships, which led to amazing discussions about work, life, and everything in between. I got to witness people breaking out of their comfort zones, realizing their worth, and finding clarity with the help of everyone in the group, and that's something I wish I can experience over and over again! And now, I'm grateful to have a group of people I can go to for help and know that we care for and love one another as friends."
Haeun Park, Made at Dawn
"As a one-person marketing team in a start-up, Erika is not only a sophisticated brand, graphic, and UX designer, but she’s also my sidekick marketing strategist, brainstorm partner, and social media adviser. She brings creativity, insight, and a positive outlook to every project, and her ability to translate ideas into compelling visuals is unmatched. On top of all that, she’s such a thoughtful, lovely person to work with. I'm so lucky to have her on my side!"
Leah Morgan, Head of Marketing, Qvin
"Right people, right place, right time. What (I didn't know) I needed was the space to step back from the frenetic pace of life and have a chance to redefine my goals and reconnect with my authentic self. The Global Founder's Retreat was just that. I left the trip feeling energized, inspired, and so grateful to have been with this group, on this trip."
Heather Kosiek, Launch Studio
"I learned more about business in the Brand Building Foundations Course than 2 years of business classes!"
