I’m Allison Muirhead—photographer, brand strategist, and founder of Cultivate Branding & Design. With over 20 years of experience behind the camera and 5+ years in creative brand consulting, I help businesses show up with clarity, consistency, and confidence across every visual touchpoint.

My career began with photography—first as a creative outlet while teaching, then quickly evolving into a full-time pursuit that allowed me to blend my artistic eye with my love of storytelling. As my client work deepened, I saw a gap: many businesses were investing in great photos, but lacked the strategy to bring their visual identity to life in a meaningful, cohesive way. That’s where Cultivate began.

Through brand strategy, design, content planning, and visual direction, I partner with businesses to help refine how they communicate—online and in print. My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and rooted in purpose. I believe great branding starts with understanding who you are, what you stand for, and why it matters—and then building a visual presence that reflects exactly that.

I’m based in Oxford, Mississippi, and work with clients throughout the Southeast and beyond. Whether you need a rebrand, a website refresh, or strategic clarity as you grow, I’m here to help your business look as good as it is—and attract the clients who need what you offer.
