About Me
CUSTOM WEBSITE DESIGNER FOR trauma-informed practitioners and heart-centered service providers
Your work is deeply personal. Your website should be too.
You've built something real - a practice, a business, a body of work that genuinely changes people's lives. Your website should feel like the natural extension of that, not an afterthought.
I design fully custom, inclusive websites that help established practitioners show up online with clarity, confidence, and quiet authority - without ever sacrificing warmth, humanity, or their values.
Because you shouldn't have to choose between converting clients and staying completely aligned with who you are.
Hi! I’m Kate
Website Designer & Brand Strategist
I’m a website designer and marketing expert who nerds out on fonts, color therapy and all things creative! I’m the designer behind Creative Kate Designs, and I specialize in creating intentional, fully custom websites for the trauma-informed and heart-centered who want more than a template and more than “just pretty.”
With over a decade of experience, I blend intentional + trauma-informed web design, ethical conversion strategy, and SEO‑friendly foundations. No templates. No copy‑paste layouts. Every website I design is built from the ground up - just like your business.
My business operates from an anti-racist + social justice perspective meaning that I work hard to find images that represent you and your ideal client, which includes People of the Global Majority and LGBTQ+. This also means that I treat each of my clients with respect, loving-kindness and compassion while honoring their humanity and individual needs.
I love helping my clients express their passion for their life’s work through their website and online offerings!
When you're ready for a website that finally matches the business you've built, I'm here. Let’s Chat!
XO

What I Believe About Website Design
Your website isn’t a box to check. It’s an experience.
I believe your website should:
Reflect the depth and nuance of your work
Feel welcoming, safe, and inclusive
Be accessible and ethical by design
Guide visitors toward taking the next step
Be easy to find through thoughtful SEO structure
Design should never feel loud or manipulative - but it should feel intentional, confident, and quietly magnetic.
Fully Custom. Always Inclusive. Strategically Designed.
Every website is:
✔ Fully Custom Designed
No themes, no templates, no shortcuts. Your website is designed specifically for your brand, services, and audience.
✔ Inclusive by Intention
I design with accessibility, representation, and respect at the core - because everyone deserves to feel welcome and seen online.
✔ Conversion‑Focused
From layout to user flow, your site is designed to gently guide visitors toward inquiry, booking, or connection.
✔ SEO‑Friendly From the Start
Clean structure, keyword‑aware copy, and best practices baked in — so your site can grow with you.
Who I Work With…
I primarily work with:
Therapists & Counselors
Trauma-informed Practitioners
Heart-centered Service Providers
My clients value depth over hype, clarity over noise, and quality over trends. If you care about how your work feels - not just how it looks - we’ll work well together.
How it started…
I designed my first website back in 2007 on a whim. I had a home organizing business at the time and the company I got my business cards from had setup one of the first ever website builders and so I decided why not? I immediately fell in love with the process. Sure, back then designing websites was clunky and most websites were quite horrible looking, but I knew somewhere deep inside that this is what I wanted to do. I absolutely loved every minute of it!
Fast forward to 2011 I started my own business for online marketing and virtual assistance really out of necessity. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and I wanted to be able to stay home with her and still make a living. I learned all the in’s and out’s and do’s and don’ts of marketing and website design and how to help my clients show up online and get clients.
I understand the vulnerability that comes with putting your work online — especially when trust matters. My process is collaborative, supportive, and grounded, so you never feel rushed, talked over, or boxed into something that doesn’t fit.
This is design that honors your work and your clients’ nervous system.
