Alyssa Walsh is the owner and founder of Sweet Briar Creative. She’s a proud ‘Cyclone’ graduate, an Iowa native, and has recently set roots in Kansas with her husband Daniel. Located in the heart of the Flint Hills, Alyssa is surrounded by the pulse of the cattle industry, which fuels her inspiration daily. Together they run Regal Cattle, an operation focused on equipping youth with the tools to succeed in the show ring for a season, & the genetics to build a business for generations. Alyssa started Sweet Briar Creative from the ground up during her time at Iowa State University. The original goals of the business was to display her self-taught videography and graphic design skills to future employers. As the business grew, she leaned on God’s calling for her life and took it full-time following graduation. Alyssa moved to Fort Worth, Texas where the business truly had the chance to grow from a college portfolio into the uniquely specialized marketing agency that it is today. Sweet Briar Creative now serves clients all across the country & even worldwide. Since that leap of faith, Alyssa has loved the opportunity to speak on stages near and far about the importance of starting to chase your dreams now, not later. Committed to igniting the entrepreneurial spark in young people, she is enthusiastic about continuing to grow awareness and drive positive change on this topic. Alongside these efforts, Alyssa recently launched a set of digital courses, instructing eager students of all ages how to learn design and video techniques. Above all she attributes her success in business to God’s sovereign plan for her life. She hopes that SBC continues to point her audience towards Christ, and aims to keep Him at the forefront of it all.
