Every brand is transmitting, all the time. We help changemakers, purpose-driven organizations, and the teams behind complex ideas make sure what they’re putting into the world actually sounds and looks like them.
Here’s how we work together.
Where Good Work Finds Its Signal
Some clients come to us knowing exactly what they need. Others are still figuring out where to start. A few just want to talk it through with another human first. Whatever brought you here, there’s a way in. Take a look at how we work and find what fits.
PROJECT-BASED
Focused solutions for specific needs.
Logos and visual identities. Websites and landing pages. Pitch decks and key presentations. These are great starting points for organizations building in phases or tackling a specific need. Many of our clients begin here and grow into longer partnerships as their needs evolve.
RETAINERS
Ready for consistency and momentum.
Marketing and content design. Presentation and sales enablement. Website updates and campaign support. Our retainer clients get a dedicated creative partner who already knows their brand, their audience, and their voice. No onboarding every time. Just momentum.
CONTENT STRATEGY
Find your frequency.
Most brands are transmitting on multiple frequencies at once. A little of this, a little of that, and nobody, including the team making the content, is quite sure what the signal is supposed to sound like.
The S3 System™ is a comprehensive, done-for-you content strategy built around your specific audience, their inner world, their friction points, and the white space your brand is uniquely positioned to occupy. The result is your brand frequency. A living strategy anyone on your team can navigate by, so your content sounds like you whether it comes from an employee, a vendor, or an intern. It stops brand distortion before it starts.
WEB MAGIC
Design + Development, Done Right
Your website should feel like you and work like a dream. That takes two different brains, and we’ve got both covered.
I handle the design: the look, the flow, the story your site tells before anyone reads a word. My longtime collaborator Margaret leads development, turning that design into a site that actually works, loads fast, and grows with you. We’ve been doing this together for years, and it shows. Each of us gets to do the part we love, so you get better work on both ends.
Together we offer full website design and development, ongoing maintenance, and SEO support (including the newer world of AI visibility, making sure tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI overviews can find and recommend you too).
“Barbara was a joy to work with, she was able to create my goals, dreams and visions in a web site that exceeded my expectations. There were clear, concise action steps to take after each call. Barbara would follow up with the high lights and details of our meeting, with a calm and reassuring tone to it. My experience was a delight. No pressure, no judgement… her kindness and encouragement was a bonus!

“As the ‘techie’ putting the pieces together from Barbara’s designs, it went very smoothly. Having the PDF view of the design for each page and the assets neatly assembled was a great help and I appreciated it. Barb is very responsive and more than willing to jump in and help to complete the project. Very much enjoyed working with her!”

Barb is able to take our basic suggestions to create critical, professional materials from proposals to custom graphics, sales sheets, PowerPoints and more. We really love her consistency, creativity and ability to meet tight deadlines. Two thumbs up!”
“Barb did a great job in developing our company website and messaging. She makes it very easy by pulling information through questions and then doing her homework on our industry.

We are really pleased with the results of her work. ”
“I have the pleasure of working with Barbara Evans on a project that requires quick turnaround and high impact graphic design, branding and website development.
