I'm Bianca Crowe, owner and designer here at Ripcord Design.

 

A little bit about me…

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising and concentration in Graphic Design & Arts. I’m a well-rounded achiever with an eye for design. I would love to help you achieve your business or personal needs. 

 

My clients and I work together to create a variety of marketing and promotional materials for their businesses. My main focus is branding, website design, and social media management. But I also offer add-ons, like graphics for print or digital, photography, and social media ads.

 

A little bit about my background…

In 2016 while attending college, I started my design business. When designing my own brand, I used a combination of my personal skydiving experience and introspection. A ripcord is the most important part of a parachute. Jumping out of a plane without a ripcord results in a less-than-ideal outcome…aka death. A ripcord symbolizes great branding and marketing. Your business will die without it. One of my clients said, "sometimes you just gotta pull the ripcord!" and I couldn't agree more, lol

 

After 6 years of launching my LLC, and 3 years of dreaming about full-time entrepreneurship, I took Ripcord Design full-time in May of 2022. I'm so thankful for this new season of life and all those who helped me get here. I'm so excited to be able to take on new projects and pour into my current clients. Waking up every day excited to work is all a girl could ask for. 

 

Before becoming my own boss, I worked for three years as a Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer for one of my now-current clients. I also spent some time at Animal Kingdom as a Disney College Program Cast Member, was a Producer for the New York Mets in Queens for the 2017/2018 seasons, and was a Production Assistant for both the Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Rays for the 2018/2019 seasons. 

 

I live in the awesome community of Lakeland, FL with my wonderful husband Chris, our two dogs, cat and bunny, and a plethora of plants (we call it the Crowe Zoo). I love adventures, cooking, reading, and spending time outside. I feel most at home when I’m by the ocean. I care a lot about animals and the environment, taking steps to live more sustainably. I am constantly on a mission to find the best ice cream in the world (currently, it’s the ube soft serve at Soft Swerve in Manhattan)!
