The Creative Cottage
welcome to
The Creative Cottage is an intuitive & feeling-based design studio for feel-good brands, soulful creatives, & heart-led leaders.
Hello and welcome! Get comfy and let me make you a coffee. The Creative Cottage is a space for us to collaborate, go deep, dream big, and breathe life into the visual identity of your heart-held vision. As the warm air meets your skin through the cracked open French door, I ask you What is asking to be created? The dappled sunlight on the old wooden floors beneath your bare feet illuminates the answer to Who are you becoming next? The birds chat outside as we explore What are the values and feelings asking to be conveyed? We step outside into a sea of green, letting our minds rest in the natural beauty around us inviting in the magic & mystery of the creative process. Ready to dive back in, I pour us matching iced matchas and we get to work with decisiveness & efficiency so you can see your vision take form in the world. Whether we’re working 1 on 1 or you’re tuning into a workshop, the process is collaborative. I’ll lead the way but we'll walk side by side as your vision, your values, and your essence are essential components of the process.

This is a one-week experience that bridges the gap between completing your branding and website and actually walking the walk in your new brand. A blend of creative coaching & design work, we'll spend a week together diving into: Content Clarity (what content for what platforms) / Social Strategy (a simple but doable strategy to get you started including post formats, fonts, and templates) / Engaged Email (designing a newsletter template & setting up email marketing) / Cohesive Platforms (ensuring a consistent visual presence across platforms).

Bespoke Branding:
Here it comes again, the ever persistent tug on your heart from that certain something. The business begging to be started, the brand wanting to be built, the community asking to be created. When the flurry of mental energy has nowhere to be directed, tension is created. That tension can only go away by either making peace with the decision not to act, or finally deciding to give it a go.
here in the creative cottage, we don't just make pretty things. the creative process will initiate you into ownership & leadership of your vision.

A thoughtful + considered website transforms an exchange into an experience.
communicate before ever saying a word
I'm not here to tell you that you must have a beautiful website or expensive branding to run a successful business – there are plenty of examples of thriving businesses that have unsightly, outdated, or even nonexistent websites and branding. However, the brands that have invested in a website experience that reflects their value and essence turn their customers into loyal + raving fans because care and thoughtfulness can be felt in every interaction. You save yourself time and money in the long-run by calling in the right people, strategically optimizing your time and effort, and intentionally directing people to where they will best be served. An elevated experience also means you can increase your prices, if desired, because the customer experience, the ethos of your brand, and the value being offered feel congruent across all touchpoints. And finally, the added bonus no one talks about: when your brand & online home feel beautifully representative of you, you feel more inspired to show up and serve everyday.
A shorter timeline means you keep momentum going, act quickly & efficiently, and start reaching your people and making money in a very short time frame.
If you struggle with follow through & finishing things, our collaboration will keep you focused & accountable so we can move quickly instead of dragging things out.
The mental load that will be lifted by having this completed in one week means your brain, creativity, & time will be freed up to focus on the things you do best.
Working in close collaboration allows us to creatively and strategically problem solve along the way – consider me your creative sounding board.
We circumvent the problem of inefficiency, delays, distractions, & losing steam by deciding on a focused block of one week or less together.
it's the meeting place between aesthetics & action
Why the
timelines?
short
I have a particular taste for linen and denim, white walls and natural hues, clean lines and organic textures, coffee and wine, poetic words and inappropriate humor. My greatest desire is to live in artful expression of my human experience creating beauty in any way I can – from my own home to the outfits I put together to the digital homes I design to the words I write and share. As an intuitive and feeling-based designer and creative, I care deeply about doing justice to the heart-held visions of other creatives and small businesses so they may be felt and experienced by the people they are meant to reach.
Welcome! I'm Natalie –
a mother, writer, and an intuitive web designer bringing to life the beauty of the unseen.
The process of working with you has totally shifted something in me, and the way I see the world. Seeing the physical look of my branding, paired with the words, the sentiment, the feeling and the embodied experience of the journey I’ve been on, and all the inner work invested to get to this point. It stopped me in my tracks when I saw the beautiful art you created. THIS. This is what I’ve been working towards.

I'm always amazed at how clearly you can see people! It's such a freaking gift, I hope you know how special it is. You're an incredible mirror! Thank you thank you thank you. It's such fresh inspo for me to work with.

Natalie was an absolute delight to work with! She listened to my ideas/needs for the redesign of my website. She carefully worked with me through each step and process. She was patient with my requests, questions and changes. She was able to take my ideas and bring it to life on my website. I couldn't be happier with the result and final design. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone who is looking for a Website Designer or looking to get a redesign on their current website.
