Do you work with businesses outside of Florida?
Yes! While I’m based on the Gulf Coast, I work with clients all over the country (and internationally). Whether you’re a seafood shack, wine bar, wellness brand, or something in between, I can collaborate with you remotely.
What makes Saltbox Creative different?
I bring years of experience in illustration, branding, and merchandise design, paired with a deep love for storytelling and intentional visuals. My work is inspired by the coastal lifestyle, vintage typography, and a strong sense of place. I’m also a proud woman-owned business, and I care deeply about creating thoughtful, inclusive, well-crafted design.
Do you offer Squarespace websites?
I do! I build and design custom Squarespace websites that are easy to manage and feel beautifully on-brand. Whether you need a service-based site, a portfolio, or a full e-commerce setup, I’ve got you covered.
Do you design merchandise for small businesses?
Yes! I offer merch design packages that include t-shirts, hats, stickers, and more. I’ll help you create apparel that your customers actually want to wear, and I can assist with sourcing and production setup if needed.
What’s the process like to work with you?
It typically starts with a quick discovery call or meeting. Once I understand what you’re looking for, I’ll send over a proposal and timeline. From there, we’ll move through creative direction, design development, revisions, and final delivery. I keep the process collaborative and easy to follow.
How long does a branding or website project take?
Every project is a little different, but here are some rough timelines:
Brand identity: 4 - 6 weeks
Website design: 4 - 6 weeks
Merchandise design: 2 - 3 weeks
If you’re working on a tight deadline, let me know, rush timelines may be possible for an added fee.
How much do your services cost?
I offer a few tiered packages for branding, merch, and web design, and I’m always happy to provide a custom quote based on your needs. If you’re not sure where to start, I can help you figure out the best package for your goals and budget.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Most projects are broken into two or three payments spread over the course of the timeline. If you need something more flexible, just ask, I'm happy to work with you.
Can I hire you just for a logo?
Most of my projects are full brand identity systems, but if you already have a clear brand direction and just need a logo, reach out, I’m happy to talk through it and see if it’s a good fit.
How can I get started?
