FAQ

Why Stampede?
Stampede is a combination of my love of country music, kickass businesswomen, and design. Stampede isn't conference rooms, speakers talking forever, and your back aching from sitting in your auditorium chair all weekend. Stampede is an experience with learning, live music events, fashion, food, and so much fun. I wanted to create a conference that I would want to attend with my business best friend.
A conference to remember!
What is included in the conference?
The Stampede Conference is jam-packed with incredible speakers, workshops, and live events. At the conference, each day focuses on a different topic. All speakers and workshops help expand further on each of the themes.
Something that makes Stampede unique is the live music concerts involved with each conference ticket. Live performances from Hailey Whitters, Elle King, Miranda Lambert, and more set this conference apart from the rest! Let's rock!
Tell me about the topics more!
Stampede has some of the best businesswomen and creatives from all over the United States. Featured speakers range from Joanna Gaines to India Earl and even Jill Winger. Each day has a different theme for speakers to focus on. Friday's topic is about creativity and emotion. Saturday focuses on business and being a financially stable leader. Sunday wraps up the weekend with some critical-thinking conversations.
In addition to incredible speakers, each day features two support workshops to help hone specific skills. For example, on Friday, there is Brand Building (with BrightenMade Design) and Watercolor / Flower Arranging (with Celeste Clark and Rose Farms).
What is the form on the website?
The "register" button is featured in the navigation and on each page for easy access. This form helps women buy event seats, read through an extensive FAQ, and complete their complimentary t-shirt order. The form was the most challenging part to make. It required multiple pages and flows to correctly respond to the user input.
Is this a real conference?
With much sadness, Stampede is literally just a made-up brand. It would be extremely unrealistic to have famous country artists perform in private concerts. In addition, I don't even think Joanna Gaines does conferences... LOL. But, just imagine how epic this would be!
Did you take the images used on the site?
These images are INCREDIBLE. I utilized Unspalsh, a copyright-free image resource for creatives, to supply all the visuals for the website. I do not own any of these images. Each image belongs to its respected owner!
How is this website responsive?
Figma is not a website builder and requires designers to build the wireframes from the ground up. Once I finished the website, I adapted each page's wireframes to fit on a regular iPhone. Resizing the website for mobile was super challenging. I had to pay close attention to fill content proportionally and include all the little details. I think the phone turned out very successful!

FINAL PRODUCTS & PROCESS
Tasked with creating a brand identity and complex website, Stampede was one of the most thrilling projects I've done thus far. The brand identity had main logos, support ligatures, artwork, style guides, and well-revised color palette. My favorite part of the project was transforming this hazy dream in my mind into a legit brand. So fun!
The Stampede website was built through Figma (before Adobe bought it out). It was challenging yet rewarding to incorporate a horizontal scroll, menus, and other accessibility features. This project took over six week to complete— requiring several rounds of feedback and critique. By far, this was my favorite project.
