Hello all!

Head shot 3
Meet Stephanie!

My name is Stephanie Dallman and I am the newest addition to 834 Design & Marketing.
I recently graduated from Ferris State University with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Public Relations. I am a confident leader who radiates energy. During my college career, I dedicated much of my time to Ferris State Public Relations Student Society of America and served as president my final year.
I am a strong communicator who has a great deal of writing experience, much of which I acquired from working for Ferris’ marketing and communications department.  In addition to my involvement at Ferris, I worked for CrescendoTV as a publicist and social media director. These positions allowed me to fuse my creativity and originality with my public relations work.
My PR experience lies in event planning, social media, media relations, and publicity.
Aside from my public relations background, my interests stretch all over the map. I love running, crafting, discovering new music, and keeping up with the latest trends. Born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I grew up a die-hard Packer football fan. I am also a mother to a two year old Maine Coon who I nursed to health from his birth.
I am passionate about public relations and a total social butterfly. As a young PR queen in the industry, I am ecstatic to be a part of team 834!

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973. 
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store. 

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

Have you tuned into The Happy Hour Hustle Podcast yet?
If not, a) you’re missing out and b) you need to follow immediately. Hosted by @bodespeaks, episodes drop every other week, and feature some pretty bada$$ guests if we do say so ourselves.

This week, Kim sits down with @kelsey_orchard , VP of Marketing and Communications at @fifthwheelfreight to chat building a personal brand, Gen Z entering the workforce, misconceptions about logistics, spotting fake LinkedIn profiles – oh and why your GPA doesn’t matter anymore.

Grab a watermelon margarita, sit back and enjoy for lots of laughs and real talk.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation. 

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan 
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
