Hi, I'm Court!
Designer, deep thinker, beauty chaser, creative strategist, & unapologetic smiler.
I always knew I wanted to do something more than just 'be creative'. You see it's one thing to design something into existence, however I wanted to explore the ideas of why we do what we do, and why it matters.
My journey into design was a beautiful one, while it's something I loved at school, I really didn't pursue it intentionally till 2020 - Since then I've worked hard to learn, evolve and practise so I can be of service, helping wonderful people extend their reach within their communities, through their work.
Just like your business, Kindred is my baby. I've grown and nurtured the precious idea, organically growing it from the ground up with the goal of helping others do what they do better. For me its the fusion of client collaboration and soulful practise which enable the co-creation of projects that are not only practical, but carry the very essence of a client's passion for their work.
What do you need? I'm here, lets do this together.

As a one-woman creative studio, I offer a unique design approach.
Clarity over cliches
No cookie-cutter templates here. Every brand and website I create is grounded in strategy, so your design doesn’t just look beautiful, it works beautifully too.
Niche by design
I take on a limited number of projects so your business gets my full attention. That means a process that feels collaborative, calm, and deeply personal.
Empowerment built in
This isn’t just design, it’s transformation. You’ll walk away with something you’re proud of, design that gives you the confidence to show up, grow, and reach the people who matter.
An essentialist design process tailored to your business.
Your time, goals, and constraints are unique, so my process adapts to meet you where you are. My focus is on turning your ambitions into reality while making sure every moment you invest feels valued. You’ll leave not only with design that delivers real impact, but also with the confidence of knowing you’ve been supported every step of the way.
1. Consultation
We start with a conversation, (this is either in person or online) to uncover what you do, why you do it, and what you need most. This is where we make sure we’re the right fit and set the stage for a process that feels supportive from the beginning.
2. A tailored recommendation & quote
You’ll receive a proposal crafted specifically for your goals including clear objectives, pricing, and a pathway forward. Once approved, I take a project deposit then lock in your start date so you know exactly what’s next.
3. Strategy & research
This is where we dig deep. Together we clarify your message, explore your brand direction, and align design choices with your business goals. From strategy sessions to mood boards, this stage gives your project strong foundations that set you apart.
4. Collaborative design
Design with me is collaborative. I bring ideas and prototypes, and through your feedback we refine until the final result feels both powerful and unmistakably you.
5. Launch & on-call support
We celebrate your new brand or website, strategically designed and ready to make an impact. You’ll leave with the tools and confidence to use it well, plus ongoing support when you need it.
Think of me as your design partner, not just a one-time service.
Thoughtful design that does your hard work justice.
