In this episode of Wise Wednesday, host Jacob Britton sits down with Haley "Allé" Smith, founder of Opened World Design, to talk about her inspiring journey from helping artist friends in Chicago to building a global creative studio. Allé opens up about the challenges of starting from scratch, learning to value her creative work, and navigating fear and self-doubt to build a meaningful business.

They dive into the importance of authenticity in brand voice, how community can fuel personal and professional growth, and why facing fear is often the key to unlocking your potential. Allé also shares the mission behind her studio and her passion for helping others bring their vision to life through strategic design and storytelling.
