Oh, hello!
I’M KATE.
THE MODERN CEO BEHIND CRESCENT CREATIVES.
I help service-based business owners find freedom in their entrepreneurial journey by balancing strategies, systems & self-care.
Really, I’m doing my best to live the life I was created to live, celebrating all the wins along the way—big and small!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN ME?
That’s me as a new business owner
Maybe you can relate
…
IN THE BEGINNING, I JUST WANTED TO WORK FOR MYSELF AND MAKE PRETTY THINGS.
Growing up as a multi-passionate creative, as well as a perfectionist recovering perfectionist, meant I was really good at a lot of different things. Being an Enneagram 8—The Challenger—meant I naturally challenged the status quo and often chose to forge my own path.
So when I graduated college, instead of taking my shiny new degree to a big-time agency, I started my own.
AND THAT’S WHEN IT GOT REAL, Y’ALL.
I’VE SPENT NEARLY A DECADE OBSESSING OVER WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN’T—IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE.
WHEN I STARTED CRESCENT CREATIVES, I QUICKLY FOUND THAT EACH NEW LEVEL OF BUSINESS BROUGHT A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO HELP MY CLIENTS LEVEL UP THEIR BUSINESSES, TOO.
Here I am growing through my career
→ As I was growing my brand, I started helping business owners with their branding.
→ When I launched my own website, I started helping my branding clients with their websites.
→ When Social Media became all the rage, I knew I needed a well-rounded digital presence in order to compete. That’s when I started helping my clients elevate their digital presence, too.
→ I dabbled in paid advertising, my clients needed paid advertising.
→ And when phrases like “Digital Marketing For Small Businesses” began to flood my Google search history, I became a certified digital marketer so I could answer not just my questions, but my client’s questions, too.
THAT’S WHEN IT FINALLY HAPPENED…
In my fifth year of business—which also happened to be smack in the middle of the world lockdown—I noticed I was burning out.
I found myself reflecting on which services fulfilled me and which ones drained me; what I could do to elevate my expertise, while also protecting my joy—my sanity! That’s when I realized…
MY EXPERTISE HAD ALREADY GROWN FAR BEYOND THIS LITTLE AGENCY I STARTED IN 2016.
In the time it takes for most businesses to give up and shut down, I had not only fine-tuned my own skills as a designer, digital marketer, and entrepreneur, but I had also helped nearly 100 businesses along the way!
CRESCENT CREATIVES IS NO LONGER A DESIGN AGENCY.
We’re a Creative Solutions Agency
NOW, AS A DIGITAL BUSINESS COACH, I GET TO HELP EVEN MORE!
I coach people through monetizing their passions and finding the freedom that attracted them to entrepreneurship in the first place!
Sometimes that looks like branding or websites, and sometimes it looks like a creative consult via Zoom. But all the time, it means I get to work with my favorite kind of people—growth-minded business owners—and help them find solutions so they can live their best lives, too.
THAT, MY FRIEND, IS A WIN WORTH CELEBRATING 🎉
WHEN I’M NOT…
Tucked behind my Macbook
Sketching ideas
Mapping strategies
On Zoom for a consult
Building a website
Designing a new brand
Or Writing my next coaching curriculum
Currently
…
YOU’LL PROBABLY FIND ME…
Sipping an americano
Cuddling my pups
Trying out a new restaurant
On a hike, chasing waterfalls
On a topless Jeep ride
Or finding some other way to seek adventure!
BTW, MY FRIENDS SAY I’M THE ONE YOU CALL WHEN YOU NEED 1 OF 3 THINGS:
To bounce an idea around or flesh out the details.
Anything DIY—especially if it involves paint, dye, or markers.
Or, if you’re feeling blue, I can tell you one of my infamous, super clean dad jokes.
(I only know 2 of them, but I’m telling you I nail the punchline every time!)
SO IF YOU NEED TO BRAINSTORM, TO CREATE SOMETHING AWESOME, OR JUST A SMILE,
