Celebrating Female-Owned Businesses
Being a female-run company, LCC has been able to connect and work with many other women-owned businesses. With International Women’s Day fast approaching, we wanted to highlight some of the businesses we believe in and have had the opportunity to work with. All of them are female-led and are local small businesses in our community. Check out the list below:
1. Salted
The Salted team is made up of 3 moms - Kerri, Jill, and Kristy who like to think of themselves as the queens of baking, spreadsheets, and creative thinking. They are the women behind those tasty caramels! If you haven’t had a chance to try them yet, we highly recommend you do! You can get them online through their website or in some boutiques around Alberta. We had the opportunity to work with them on creating their branding and website as well as their packaging.
2. Prairie Soap Shack
Jess is the owner and creator of Prairie Soap Shack. With a passion for reconnecting people to nature, she has created her soaps, balms, and salves using natural locally sourced ingredients. Her soaps smell amazing and who doesn’t love good natural skincare? You can find her products online as well as in a few select boutiques throughout Alberta. Our studio designed the packaging for their 3-step skincare routine which includes a cleanser, toner, and face serum.
3. Jennifer Jordan Interior Design
Jennifer Jordan Interior Design is an interior design firm specializing in commercial and residential interiors. The principal designer and owner is Jennifer Jordan, an award-winning designer with over 25 years of experience. LCC is currently working with her and her team on a brand refresh, so keep an eye out!
4. The Makers Keep
Katrina is the woman behind The Makers Keep and Unite by TMK. Her main objective was to support local makers by giving them a place to display their products in a “market-like” environment. They work with over 200 makers from all over Alberta and Canada. Hopefully, you get a chance to stop by one of their 4 locations or check them out online. Our team worked on the branding for Unite and the Keepsakes Collection, as well as various apparel and accessories for the in-house Keepsakes Collection.

5. The Branded Good
The Branded Good was started by our very own Creative Director, Lianne. She started this initiative as a way of using her design skills for good. It is a non-profit company creating and selling quality designed apparel, in order to raise money for charitable causes. 100% of the net profits for each collection is donated to a charitable cause. To date, The Branded Good has donated to local businesses, The Bissell Centre, The Canadian Women’s Foundation, and AdaptAbilities. You can purchase pieces from previous collections online through the website or you can find some pieces available in person at The Makers Keep.
6. The Violet Chocolate Company
The Violet Chocolate Company was created by Rebecca a Red Seal Chef, who had a desire to create chocolate with adventurous flavours, quality ingredients, and artisanal practices. Today, the chocolatier is run by both Rebecca and her right-hand woman Maryanne. Over the years, flavours created by the Edmonton-based chocolate studio have gone on to win 37 national and 17 international chocolate awards. You can order online or find them in quite a few retailers around Alberta. Every year, LCC works on the design of their annual Christmas advent calendar.
7. Run Wild Play Kits
Jamie started Run Wild Play Kits in March of 2020. She is a registered child psychologist who also runs her own practice called Imagine Psychology Consulting Services. She is also a mom and wanted to take a concept she has seen teachers and support staff utilize and make it easy for parents to incorporate into their homes. By creating play kits, she is helping to support the all-around development of children. You can purchase online through her website, and she offers local pick up in the Edmonton Area. Our studio had the opportunity to illustrate the emotions cards and design the Look What I Can Do Journal.
8. RW Financial
RW Financial specializes in mortgages, investments, and insurance. Owned by Raelene Winter, she enjoys teaching people about best practices for their finances. Her Instagram page is full of helpful tips and knowledge that can be applied to everyday life. If you’re looking for any insight on all things money and money management, go check her out. The LCC team worked on her branding, social media, and website.
9. Atelier Hair Design
Atelier Hair Design is a hair studio in Edmonton run by 3 experienced stylists Melissa, Holly, and Amy. They’re passionate about building relationships and creating a personalized artistic experience from start to finish. Their fresh studio space is in the cozy Parkallen neighbourhood. Our team created their visual identity as well as their website.
10. Kinetic Living
Kinetic Living is a multi-disciplinary chiropractic facility run by Dr.Kara Otuomagie. They stand out by pairing manual therapy with exercise rehabilitation and applying principles of biomechanics and diversified techniques. They specialize in chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, IMS, pregnancy, and yoga therapy. Check out their website to see a full list of all the treatments they have available.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with every one of these women-led businesses over the years. Turns out we have a ton of strong, ambitious women in our community so let’s give them all of our support!
