I'm Rebecca, founder of Forest City Revival.

I spend a lot of time looking at businesses that have outgrown their branding — companies that do excellent work, have loyal clients, a real reputation, and a digital presence that tells a smaller story than the truth. That’s where I come in.

My background is in art history, English literature, and law. I was trained to look at things carefully, argue a position, and know the difference between what something is and what it pretends to be. I bring that same eye to brand strategy: the ability to see what a business actually is, find the language for it, and build something that lets it thrive on its own terms.

I named the studio after an old nickname for Cleveland, the Forest City, because the work feels like the city: mid-revival, deliberate, not interested in being anything else. The name reflects how I view my work: taking something good, something established, and giving it new life, focused on growth & value for my brands and their clients.
