And I know this because every creative industry is oversaturated. (Hell, you've probably scrolled through 10 other designer's sites today on your quest to find the one.)
Luckily, your competition doesn't actually matter. Because contrary to popular belief, your clients don't hire you because of the photos you take, or the content calendar you create, or the haircut you give, or the events you plan, or the, or the, or the.
No, the real reason your clients hire you?
The Truth Is, Your Industry is probably
oversaturated.
it's because they want to work with you.
You're ~their kinda person~. And the way you show up in your own corner of the internet fits perfectly in the vision they see for the world.
These are the kinds of creatives & founders I design custom brands & Showit websites for— the ones who are looking to become so outwardly, singularly, irreplaceably themselves online that all their competitors become irrelevant. And if that's you, I'm so glad you found me.

hi, i'm sarah kleist—
...because after designing literally hundreds of brands & websites for creatives just like you, I've noticed there's one thing that separates creative businesses that grow vs. those that don't:
A founder who is unafraid to take up space with their literal face (and ideas, skills, perspectives, and talents, of course).
When you work with Kleist Creative, you're not just working with a design, marketing, and personal brand expert—you're also working with an artist who has spent her entire life cultivating the skills to inspire and entertain an audience (both online and onstage).
So if your brand is ready for the spotlight, center stage, and roarous applause, then I'm pleased to make your acquaintance!
ShowIt Designer, Marketing Strategist, and Stubborn Believer in the Power of Personal Brands

I design on ShowIt -- You've probably heard of Squarespace and Wix, but ShowIt is the best website building platform on the planet. The creative freedom is unmatched, which means we can tailor your site to your brand (instead of the other way around). And it's literally drag and drop (with no code!), so it's easier for you to update yourself than any of its competitors. Plus, it looks great on all devices.
If you're curious whether or not ShowIt might be right for you, check out this blog post I wrote about ShowIt vs. Squarespace, or this blog post about why ShowIt is the Greatest Ever.
Our timeline heavily depends on the package of deliverables we put together for you—however, at the base level, a custom project usually takes at least 4 weeks.
Just design, no copy—however, I do help with website content structure, so I can help you decide which kinds of content should go where, and in what order.
Alternatively, you can work with a copywriter beforehand, OR (my favorite option), hire my fave copywriter to work alongside me!
I've worked with so many different kinds of people on custom projects—from people just starting their business journey to people rebranding their already-successful endeavor. If you're looking for an intentional, strategic, thoughtful process that is fully catered to you and your brand, then this is the process for you.
Template customization projects help you become highly competitive in your market, while custom design projects help you remove the competition altogether. (Because you'll be so singularly, uniquely yourself that none of your competitors will even matter.)
