About Us

Boutique Marketing for Your Business

Aspen Alley is a mountain-born creative collective turning bold ideas into brands that move.

Female-founded & proud: In an industry where female-owned agencies are still rare (less than 1% of ad agencies are owned by women, according to adweek.com), we’re beyond proud to be women-owned and breaking the mold.

We’re proof that “badass” and “professional” go hand in hand.

Our diverse backgrounds and shared love of creativity mean we’re always pushing boundaries, experimenting with new ideas, and having a blast while doing it. When we’re not building brands, you can find us mountain biking, trail running, sailing, skiing, coaching rugby, or dancing our hearts out to ’90s music.

We bring that same adventurous, fun-loving spirit into our work, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

We’re three fearless creatives (and proud Colorado locals) who believe marketing should be as bold as a sunrise over the Rockies and as vibrant as a ‘90s dance floor.

Aspen Alley Creative was born when our trio of talented women decided to join forces and build an agency as unique as the community we love.

For us, this isn’t just work – it’s personal. We thrive on adventure, creativity, and collaboration, and we infuse that energy into everything we do.

In Summit County, small businesses and local brands make our towns feel personal, unique, and full of life, and we’re passionate about helping them thrive.

Each of us brings a different superpower to the table – from design wizardry and branding know-how to content creation and strategy – but we all share one vision: empower our clients to shine.

Aspen Alley is a forward-thinking creative agency

that breathes life into bright ideas.

We thrive on blending grit with craft.

Every project we take on strikes a balance between bold aesthetics and real-world purpose—built to look sharp, function seamlessly, and speak with authenticity.

Kiarra Magnus

Partner: Design, Branding, Websites

I’m a brand designer, creative storyteller, and content strategist with 7+ years of experience helping purpose-driven brands find their voice and make their mark. I specialize in crafting visual identities, narratives, and content systems that not only look good—but feel meaningful, cohesive, and true. My goal is always to build deeper connections between people and the brands they love.

I believe the best ideas often come from constraints, and that transformative stories live in both wild adventures and quiet conversations.

Whether I’m developing a brand from the ground up or fine-tuning the details, I bring a strategic eye, a collaborative spirit, and a love for design that tells a bigger story.

Leah Marie Rybak

Partner: SEO, Strategy, Copywriting

I’m a Colorado local with over 15 years of marketing experience and a deep love for storytelling, community, and the outdoors. I work with businesses of all sizes to create thoughtful, strategy-driven marketing—specializing in content creation, social media, and organic SEO. At the heart of everything I do is a passion for meaningful connection and creativity.

Outside of Aspen Alley, I’m the Co-Executive Director and a founding member of TEDxBreckenridge, where I help bring big ideas to life in Summit County.

When I’m not working, you can find me mountain biking with my dog Toby, skiing with my husband Paul (a backcountry ski guide), or sharing wine and poetry with friends. I once lived in Barcelona, and I’m now a very proud new aunt to a little nugget named Nora.

Cat Scanlan

Partner: Photography, Social Media, Web

Hi, I’m Cat one of the creative brains (and camera) behind Aspen Alley Creative. I bring a mix of disco energy and mountain grit to help brands show up authentically and stand out in style.

I specialize in storytelling through photography, branding, and social media—capturing the moments, vibes, and visuals that make your business unforgettable. At the end of the day, my work is all about helping you feel confident, look incredible, and share your story in a way that connects.

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m out exploring the mountain town where I grew up. In the winter, you’ll find me skiing in the early morning hours or enjoying hot cocoa during a blizzard. Summer often means mountain biking, and I’m always happy to share trail recommendations—Aspen Alley is one of my favorites.

Come fall, I never leave home without my camera and consider myself a professional aspen hunter.
