Buffalo, NY — “Why stop at building brands when you can shape legacies?” For Sophia Call, this is more than a mantra. It’s the driving force behind her work as a graphic designer, brand architect, and founder of Philosophie Solutions.

After years navigating the corporate world, Sophia poured relentless effort into helping others achieve their dreams while battling burnout. As a result, she decided it was time to invest in her own vision. In April 2024, she took the leap into solopreneurship and hasn’t looked back since.

That leap gave rise to Philosophie Solutions, a marketing freelance business dedicated to guiding clients from concept to complete. Sophia blends creative ingenuity with strategic insight, helping brands develop bold narratives, impactful logos, and marketing strategies that truly resonate.

“For me, the strongest brands come from true understanding and connection,” Sophia shares. “To help others, you must first help yourself.”


Misconceptions in the industry

Breaking through early misconceptions — being typecast as “the marketing girl” or mistaken for someone who just “takes pictures of food” — Sophia focused on shifting perceptions. She began with her own mindset. Moreover, she dedicated herself to networking not as a lead-generation tactic, but as a way to cultivate genuine, lasting relationships.

Her peers took notice. Soon, Sophia earned the affectionate title of Buffalo’s Networking Queen. This was a recognition of her ability to connect people, ideas, and opportunities in ways that fuel community growth.


Today, Sophia’s work continues to push boundaries. She proves that marketing is as much about people as it is about visuals. She’s driven by a desire to elevate voices and forge stronger networks. Furthermore, she demonstrates that with the right vision, anything can be taken from concept to complete.
