Client Love

  • “Mallisa has been managing our social media and consulting on marketing decisions for my small restaurant for a few months now, and the results are magic. She is easy to work with, takes initiative when guidance isn't offered and is so responsive to questions and feedback. She immediately understood our voice and brand and ran with it. We don't feel like we are managing her work... she is just making things happen. It has been a relief for our busy schedules and has provided a breath of fresh air to our online presence.”

  • “Mallisa is a brand master and has helped me, not only design my business’ brand and logo, but was hugely part of the inspiration behind my aesthetic when I wasn’t a hundred percent on what I wanted. She encapsulated exactly what I wanted my brand to represent seamlessly. Her photography skills are unique and set my brand apart from others.”

  • “I have worked with Mallisa at Kindred Creative with two businesses I own. Each company has a vastly different objective; one is a nutrition store and website, and the other a vacation rental business. She has taken the time to learn each business and produce an attractive brand for both along with an effective web presence and marketing strategy too. She consistently goes above and beyond with every project I’ve put in front of her.”
