The Who
Squarecat Creative was built to support mission-driven organizations and growing brands that need smart marketing and creative execution, without the overhead of a full in-house team.
The What
I work at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping ideas move from concept to completion. Whether that looks like fractional marketing support, on-demand creative services, or hands-on execution, the goal is always the same: create work that’s thoughtful, effective, and actually gets used.
The Why
Squarecat exists because too many teams are stuck choosing between big agencies that feel out of reach or freelancers who only cover one piece of the puzzle. This is something different -flexible, senior-level support that adapts to what you need, when you need it.
The Squarecat Name
The name isn’t accidental. Inside the lettering of Squarecat is a simple message: u are creative.
My role isn’t to replace your ideas - it’s to support them. I help shape, refine, and bring your vision to life with clarity and momentum.
Think of Squarecat as the creative partner behind the scenes, making sure good ideas don’t get stuck in drafts, decks, or endless planning.

FAQ's
How does pricing work?
Every project is different, so pricing is based on scope, timeline, and deliverables. I offer both project-based pricing and hourly support, depending on what works best for your needs.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes!
I offer a free 30 minuinitial consultation to talk through your goals, answer questions, and determine the best approach before moving forward.
Please fill out my contact form and I will get in touch with you.
What happens after the consultation?
Most new clients begin with a one-time $250 onboarding session.
This step allows me to get to know your brand, understand what you’re working with, and set the project up for success before the work begins.
What’s included in the onboarding session?
The onboarding session covers:
-
Project discovery and alignment
-
Brand, market, and competitive research
-
Review of existing assets
-
Creative recommendations and next steps
This upfront work helps me streamline the creative process and often reduces revisions later.
Is the onboarding session required?
The onboarding session is required for most new clients. For larger scoped projects, the onboarding fee may be applied toward the total project cost.
Do you offer project-based pricing?
Yes. For clearly defined projects, I’m happy to provide a flat-rate quote after the onboarding session. This helps keep timelines, deliverables, and budgets clear from the start.
What is your hourly rate?
My hourly rate is $95/hour. Hourly support is ideal for ongoing collaboration, updates, or projects with evolving needs.
Is there a minimum project size?
There’s no strict minimum. If you’re unsure whether your project is a good fit, the best next step is a quick conversation.
Can you work within a budget?
Absolutely. If you have a budget in mind, feel free to share it. I’m happy to recommend options, priorities, or phased approaches that make the most of your investment.
How do payments work?
Project-based work typically requires a deposit to begin, with the remaining balance due upon completion. Hourly work is billed regularly based on tracked time.
What types of clients do you work with?
I have the most experience working with CPG brands and supporting in-store and ecommerce initiatives. I also enjoy working with smaller non-profit / for-profit organizations and the teams who value thoughtful design, collaboration, and clear communication. If that sounds like you, we’ll likely be a really good fit.
