You’re not here to chase trends.
You’re here to build a brand that means something.
At Kindred Creative, we combine brand strategy, graphic design, and photography to bring your vision to life—visually and emotionally. Our clients are business owners, creatives, and hospitality pros who care deeply about the experience they’re offering. If that’s you? You’re in the right place.
Branding is more than how your business looks.
It’s how it feels. How it speaks. How it shows up when you’re not in the room.
At Kindred Creative, I don’t just design logos. I help build brands from the inside out—brands with purpose, clarity, and personality. The kind that feel so aligned, people say “yes, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
I believe the best brands are intentional. You can feel it when every detail has been considered—from the voice to the visuals to the way it all fits together. That’s the kind of work I’m here to do: thoughtful, story-driven, and backed by strategy.
The heart of my process is the brand consult. That’s where we dig into the why behind your business, explore your voice, your values, your mission, and your energy. I ask a lot of questions (on purpose), because the more I understand, the more authentic your brand becomes. It’s part intuition, part research, and a whole lot of listening.
I work best with clients who are purpose-driven, kind, and wildly passionate about what they’re building. We’re usually on the same wavelength from the start. If we’re saying “yes, exactly” over and over in that first conversation, we’re probably a great fit.
When it all comes together—when strategy and design align, and your brand finally feels like you—that’s the sweet spot. That’s what I chase in every project.
Hey, I’m Mallisa ✌️
I started Kindred Creative in early 2024 after years working in branding, design, and hospitality marketing, driven by a love for creativity, storytelling, and the kind of spaces and brands that make people feel something.
At my core, I’m a photographer and designer who’s endlessly curious about what makes a brand resonate. I have a knack for translating vision into visuals that are thoughtful, layered, and unmistakably aligned with your purpose.
My background in hospitality taught me the importance of experience—how every detail matters, and how the best brands are built from the inside out. Whether I’m designing for a micro resort, an outdoor lifestyle brand, or a soulful shop on the Gulf Coast, I bring the same energy: intentional strategy, creative clarity, and a collaborative process that actually feels good.
If you're here to build something meaningful, you’re in the right place.
a few of my favorite things
Hiking, any and all animals, collecting cool rocks, cold brew with oat milk, a good book on the porch on a quiet morning, strength training, baking sourdough, finding the best coffee shop in a new town, a brand new notebook, biking, audiobooks, crocheting, and a ridiculously juicy burger.
Meet Jenn!
Marketing Assistant
Jenn Hudson grew up in Tupelo, MS, and studied fine art and photography at MS State University, but her creativity and ADHD refuse to be boxed in (good luck trying). Since then, she’s worn many hats—ophthalmology technician (yep, she’s photographed more eyeballs than she can count), newspaper designer, floral design assistant, server, marketing and content creator, photographer, storyteller. Through it all, she’s learned she thrives in spaces where she gets to create, connect, and capture stories that feel real.
Jenn has a deep love for hospitality—whether it’s making people feel seen through her photography, creating a beautiful space, or just being a kind human in a world that desperately needs more of them. She’s naturally drawn to the weirdos, the dreamers, the people who don’t quite fit into neat little boxes (probably because she doesn’t either). Those are her people.
Outside of photography, you’ll find Jenn in her natural habitat—somewhere outdoors, hiking, camping, or kayaking, basically living her best wild woman life. She has an undying love for checkered patterns, vibrant colors, and bold prints, and she treats clothing and jewelry like an extension of her art (also, tattoos—because why stop at fabric?). Also, cheese? Non-negotiable. Matcha lattes? Always. Jenn has been calling the MS Gulf Coast home for the last several years, where she lives with her partner and spunky, slightly chaotic cattle dog, Lena.
