To cap off a very special week at Fix & Form, we want to end by celebrating a very special person who is an integral part of everything that goes on in the business. Not only does Anne inspire other women in business, she gifts us every day with her ideas, encouragement, and passion. It is time to highlight our founder, Anne Gillaspie, and give her a gift of her own by wishing her a very happy birthday!!
A Little Bit About Anne
While Fix & Form just celebrated their 11-year anniversary, Anne has been in the business of hard work and dedication for a lifetime. She embodies and exemplifies what a woman in business is. As a local alumnae from Colorado State University, Anne has brought her Marketing, Acting, and Directing background to life in her company focused on human-centered connections. Anne’s ambition and curiosity is what takes the brand to the next level and sets it apart. She is not afraid to try new things, explore new ways of business, and put in the hard work to take ideas to the next level. Anne has built her own brand. Not only is she writing a book, speaking on podcasts, and developing new business ideas, but she takes the time to guest lecture in classrooms. That is just who she is. She loves her business, but even more so, Anne embodies her brand, creating human-centered connections everywhere she goes. Beyond work, Anne has a busy life with her family and enjoying a variety of hobbies. She really does just do it all!
What the Team Says About Anne
Abbie- Brand Designer
Anne is incredibly strategic in the way she connects the dots for a brand – the why behind it all. She has this rare ability to root every decision in thoughtful, intentional brand positioning. It’s no surprise she calls herself a “brand therapist” she really digs deep, helping clients uncover their true story and align it with their business goals.
Siera- Agency Intern
Anne has been a great mentor to me. Typical internships let you loose to figure things out, but Anne has been so intentional in teaching me useful skills and pushing me. When I think of driven women in business, without a doubt Anne comes to mind as my inspiration. After every conversation I have with her I feel so reinspired to get things done and go after my own aspirations.
Shannon- Developer/Designer
Can you believe that Anne and I met at a happy hour? What a fortuitous night that turned into such a meaningful connection. From that casual conversation to now—a partnership, a friendship, and something I genuinely treasure. I’m so grateful for Anne and all that we’ve built together!
Gina- Associate Professor, Marketing Colorado State University
My favorite memories of working with Anne (even though we don’t necessarily work together), are those of our lunches together. We never run out of things to talk about and I always feel energized after our time together. Anne’s “just get it done,” attitude is contagious. When I have moments of self-doubt, I can hear her telling me- “go for it!” Anne is a treasure in my network and I know I can reach out for anything. She understands how to overcome life and professional challenges- and how to do it while inspiring those around her. Those are the people you want on your team!
What the Clients Say About Anne
“Working with Anne from Fix & Form has been nothing less than enlightening, productive, motivating, and empowering. She has a very unique talent for breathing life into others’ visions, and using modern techniques and strategies is able to create a foolproof plan of attack to execute ideas and teach you how to use the tools along the way. I’m better as a professional, and more in love than ever with my ideas as a result of working with her.”
“Anne was an absolute delight to work with. She is very knowledgeable and helped me immensely with my business rebrand. She is now my go-to for anything related to branding and business strategy.”
“Anne has been great from the start, and I know we aren’t done yet! She helped me establish the foundation for the creative to grow into, and we had so many brainstorming ideas that I know I’ll come back to her when it’s time to execute. She really takes the time to get to know you, your brand, your goals and aspirations, and puts it all together with a nice bow on top. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the branding process!”
“Working with Anne at Fix & Form was an incredible experience. The transparency of the process, paired with her ability to challenge the boundaries of a narrative, helped us create the framework required to take our brand to the next level. We look forward to a continued partnership with Anne and would highly recommend Fix & Form for brand strategy.”
Feeling Inspired by Anne?
We hope you are feeling just as inspired by Anne as we are every day. Whether you are a woman in business, a client, or just popping in to see what Fix & Form is about, welcome. And one last piece of tidbit before you go, as Anne would encourage you; with whatever that “thing” is you have in your life that you have been sitting on, waiting for the right “time” or the “resources” to get in motion, what are you waiting for? Just do it. It is time to take that sh*t list and just get sh*t done.
