About Me

My name is Mikayla. Thanks for being here!

I started Trend Marketing & Branding Co. in 2024. Welcome to my website, and I am so excited to meet you!

I am from a small town in the dairy land aka Wisconsin, where the barns, farmhouses and cornfields are your scenery and cheese is the way of life. I moved from Wisconsin to south Texas in 2016 (I was 23) by myself with very little money, no plan, no job, and whatever fit in my car. Drove roughly 21 hours straight (10/10 do not recommend). It was the most exhilarating experience of my life to this day. I remember crossing the Texas border at 2am and feeling SO proud of myself and have never felt more fearless. It was like a whole new world opened up for me, so many countless opportunities lie ahead, a fresh start, new beginnings, and truly giving meaning to taking life by the horns. Everyone back home didn't think I would last here long, which I mean looking from the outside in, I can completely understand, It's not an easy thing to do, I honestly didn't know if I would last here that long myself, but I was determined to make a life for myself outside of my hometown and if I set my mind to something there isn't a dang thing that can stand in my way. I moved to Texas for better opportunities, self growth, a challenge, a fresh start, better weather, and let's be real...so I can wear my cowboy boots whenever and wherever I want without sticking out like a sore thumb. 

I love the south but it is hotter than hell and half of Georgia. So far my favorite things about Texas is the way Texas loves Texas, Buc-ee's, the Mexican food and the amount of food trucks everywhere, summer nights, the southern charm (I have met some of the nicest folks here), the baseball team (Go Stros'!), pretty much everything except the heat and the hurricanes.

I have always had a passion for writing, arts, crafts, marketing, and design for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until the last couple of years I started thinking about putting that talent and passion into a business and that's exactly what Trend is, my passion.

Growing up I was always pretty quiet, shy and reserved, as I have gotten older I have come out of my shell and at times I can be the loudest one in the room. I am a happy mix between being a very social butterfly and a total homebody. My friends would say I am kind, trustworthy, loyal to no ends, and funny. I try to be funny, I don't know if I actually am, but I do know life is just too short not to laugh. 

I currently have three dogs- Belle, Charlie and Nala, and they are my babies. I do not have kids (yet) but hope to someday! I love to write, read, do crafts, shopping (especially home decor- Target, Hobby Lobby & Tj Maxx are my jam), drawing, doing absolutely anything outdoors, and hanging out with friends in my spare time. 

My perfect Friday night would have to be lounging on the couch with some good snacks, ice cream, and my dogs with a candle burning and binge watching true crime documentaries.

Anyways, that is a little about me. I hope you are enjoying your visit to Trend and if you or anyone you knows are in need of marketing or branding, I'm your girl!
