Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Whitney sits down with Robyn Amthauer, owner of Stella Sutton Design, to talk about the creative side of the livestock industry — from ad design and branding to building a business rooted in agriculture and authenticity.

Robyn shares how she turned her creative curiosity into a full-time career after years in corporate marketing, and how she balances business, motherhood, and managing a successful club lamb operation with her family in Iowa.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • How Robyn went from corporate marketing at Cargill to running her own design agency

  • The value of relationships and consistency when building a brand in agriculture

  • Her honest perspective on pricing, creativity, and burnout in freelance work

  • The tools and programs she swears by (and her thoughts on the Canva vs. Adobe debate)

  • How she finds inspiration, blends her family life with her career, and keeps creativity alive

    Whether you’re a creative in the ag space, a small business owner, or someone looking to take the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship, this conversation is packed with wisdom and relatability.
