Founder’s Story: Kari from Kinship Creative
My journey to building Kinship Creative has been anything but conventional. As a mom, a business owner, and a former educator, I know what it’s like to feel undervalued, overworked, and ignored. For years, I worked in environments that didn’t recognize my talents, creativity, or potential—whether it was in education or the marketing agency world. I spent 15 years in public education, building courses for adults and helping people regain confidence to step back into the workforce, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that my true passion was somewhere else.
​
When I asked to use my marketing expertise to help my school for free, I was turned down. I left, hoping for better opportunities, only to encounter more of the same in agency life—unethical practices, lack of support, and a culture that minimized my voice and contributions. My soul was drained, and I realized that I couldn’t wait for someone else to recognize my worth. I had to build my own path, on my own terms.
​
That’s when Kinship Creative was born—a place where women, especially mothers, could build the businesses of their dreams without compromising their values or losing their sense of self. I’ve created a space where small business owners, just like me, can feel empowered to pursue their passions, achieve balance, and know that their voices matter. Kinship Creative is about more than just website design and branding—it’s about connecting with your purpose, creating strategic marketing, and building confidence so you can live the life you’ve always wanted.
​
I’m not just another consultant or business coach. I’m your business best friend, offering personalized support, compassionate guidance, and an experience that feels more like a boutique than a business transaction. I’m here to hold your hand through the process and help you take that leap—whether it’s launching your website, refining your brand, or discovering the freedom of working on your own terms.​
If I can go from being overwhelmed and burned out, to building my own thriving business and supporting other women in their entrepreneurial journeys, so can you.
