Hi, I’m Rosilyn!
going to say that I’m
an entrepreneur, or a marketing ninja or event host
or any of those roles that I fill whenever the need arises. Instead, I’ll tell you this: I’m passionate about making things better – whether it’s an idea, your marketing strategy, an event, or just your day.
Sometimes, I’m in the driver’s seat
like with Smackages, a startup I founded, or Singles: Remixed, an event I created to raise money for local charities. Other times, I’m a part of the supporting cast like when I hosted D Magazine’s FrontRow Live event. Either way, you can be sure that I’m somewhere working hard to make something better.
I dabble in
startups, copywriting, event hosting, print and digital marketing, social media and PR.
I love
ranking things I love, Dallas, B2B, buying shiny new domains, laughing loudly, kind people, snarky stationery, all things 80s and St. Jude.
This site is a collection of things I make better and a way for you to connect with me to see if we can make things better together.

Musings about startups, branding, and other things that inspire.

It’s time for my annual blog update. Honestly, I wish I were a more frequent blogger (New Year’s resolution, perhaps?), but I’ve been MIA for good reasons. 2019 has been a year for the books (speaking of books, if you make it to the end, let me know what you think...
