ABout Me
My name is Erica Lippert, founder & owner of 417 Summit Branding. I'm 32 years old, originally from Claremore, Oklahoma, but now live remotely full-time in a small RV, spending summers in the mountains and winters near the ocean. I am a fur-mom to a dog named Boone, Oklahoma State alumna, Jeep Wrangler driver, & football fanatic.
When I began my independent hairstylist career in January 2023, I built a brand for myself; color scheme, business emotions, values, goals, social media marketing, & my own website. As tedious & time-consuming as it was, I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Just three months after the launch of my new brand, I was commissioned by the owner of the salon to help rebrand & build the business as it revamped. It took fewer than 7 days to have the website live! 417 Summit Branding, LLC, was officially created in February 2024.
I find thrill in brainstorming with business owners about their marketing goals, the brand they're looking to build, what the target market is, etc. Once that's established, the gears in my mind begin turning, & a branding strategy is in the works.
In my very limited free time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, planting flowers, playing mini-golf, & cheering on those Dallas Cowboys!
