Not her first rodeo
I wrote this profile for Rrampt on Ciara Spurling, founder of Third Rodeo Creative, a branding studio behind some of the most recognizable small business identities in the region. We talked about her unconventional path into design — from a childhood spent around horses to a realization in Berlin that art could actually be a career — and how her process has evolved from simple logo work into full brand strategy.
It's also a candid look at running a one-person creative business: protecting her energy, learning when to say no to scaling, and figuring out what kind of clients and projects actually light her up.
