Illuminessence creations

Our clients are rebellious action-takers.

the ones who aren't afraid to speak their mind or act quickly

We are NOT here to play it safe.

The women that know their worth and want to show up as their most authentic, baddie boss selves. The ones who are here to change the game - not follow it. The women that KNOW they are the special ingredient that makes their business the magic that it is.

We're the ones who are excited to invest boldly, could care less about judgement, happily skip creating “nice” content or following trends, aren't afraid to step outside our comfort zones, and are 10000% committed to taking up space. We hold ourselves and our clients to a high standard - and we get results because of it!

They trust us to take care of their brand and want us to manage their online presence from start to finish. Not only so they can do less work, but because they know we will showcase them and their expansive vision in the best way possible. This is why we offer everything from branding and copy to web design and social media services.

we’re a creative agency because our clients don’t just want one thing from us

So you can have a partner you vibe with and TRUST to make you stand out in this crowded online space, boost your confidence, increase your visibility and sales, and help you embody the QUEEN energy you deserve as a badass business owner.

“IlluminEssence Creations doesn’t just see a business. She sees the dreams, the vision, the purpose and is there to help make them all come true. I’ve also received many compliments about my website from other business owners.

Abby doesn’t change your voice or passion - she enhances it!”

- BJ Council, You & Five-O

balanced by a great methodical approach to assess your current needs and focusing you on the essentials to help you gain meaningful traction. Said another way, Abby did a great job calming my social media anxiety, simplifying my approach and helping me to focus my attention.”

“Abby has such an easy, supportive vibe

- Carrie Baquie, Wellbeing Empowerment Coach

“So happy that I connected with Abby as a web developer! She's creative, knowledgeable, and possibly one of the most patient people I've had the pleasure to do business with. When I came to her with my website, I was midstream and she had to take over...often more difficult than starting from scratch. She was very skilled at listening to me and my desires and really put them into my site. I absolutely LOVE it! Communication was stellar and payment simple and understandable. She made the whole process as painless as possible for me!

Definitely, without reservations, I would recommend Abby for your website needs and dreams!”

- Tracy Gnojek, Neo-Tantra Educator

“Abby was consistently patient and professional with us during the process. She wanted to understand who we were to better develop the content and layout for our website. We love the finished product.

Our website is beautiful and represents who and what we are and want to be to our community.”

- Rekyiah Abdul-Zahir, Nexus at 1214 Event Venue

“Thank you so much Abby! You are great at what you do! I was having a hard time putting my thoughts, ideas and business package into words but you were able to! I highly recommend outsourcing your website and/or copywriting needs to IlluminEssence Creations as it will

save you time wasted and you'll be happy with your results.”

- Lily Butts, Books By Lily


"Abby is absolutely incredible!!! I love how responsive and detailed she is as a designer. I have worked with her on a few projects now and I have been pleased every step of the way! Abby is so talented and people continuously rave about everything she has done for me (branding, website, guides, etc.).

I love quality and that's what I think of when it comes to Abby!"

- Ariel Perry, Legacy Studios + Ariel Perry Photography

“I partnered with IlluminEssence Creations to design my website and found Abby to be incredibly helpful and patient with the entire process. I ended up with a website I love and get many compliments on. I would definitely recommend IlluminEssence -

you won't be disappointed.”

- Christina Domer, Take It Easy Bookkeeping



For those who don't know me...

I'm abby

your online presence Queen, biggest hype woman, and Founder & Creative Director of IlluminEssence Creations

If you like 90s hip hop and R&B, snacking on chips & queso, dancing barefoot in the sunshine, or hitting happy hour for margs, we’ll get along justttt fine.

I grew up in a very artistic family - my parents are professional musicians that traveled the world to teach and perform - so creativity came very naturally to me and was encouraged. As a kid, I played three musical instruments, sang in choir, took art classes, played sports, and danced (my real love!). Once I got to high school, I focused my energy on dance, which led to me getting my BFA in Modern Dance at TCU (and dancing professionally for years after college).

Although I’ve always loved dance, I knew it wouldn’t exactlyyyy pay the bills, so I looked for other creative outlets that could - and that’s how I ended up in the design world! In fact, when I was younger, I used to dream of working on a magazine one day. I originally got my design experience working on my high school and college yearbooks - as Editor-in-Chief for two years on each, in addition to being a staff member and section editor - which I then turned into a freelance career of design and marketing, starting in college and running for almost 10 years, before eventually creating the business you see today!

When I’m not working you can catch me getting outside - hiking in the mountains, sitting by the ocean, or watching a sunset/sunrise - with my fiance or twin sister, brother-in-law and their new baby girl. I currently live in Denver, CO but have lived in every time zone in the continental US (originally from Texas). My mom is one of my best friends and I see her and my twin sister as often as possible (I also have two older brothers!). I also love to travel, am a huge football fan (go Birds!), enjoy collecting records with my fiance, and take every chance I get to soak up snuggles from my fur babies (2 dogs and a cat).

We're so excited to have her on our team!

Jannae Allen, originally from the Midwest, went to Purdue University, before relocating to Colorado after college and has lived here ever since.

As a kid she always knew she wanted to do something creative, and ended up in graphic design. Jannae loves the conceptual thinking in design and building out client’s visions. In her free time she loves spending time outside with her dog or hanging out with her family!
