CREATIVE

Simple, Intentional Design and Slow Marketing Foundations for Sensitive Creatives and Solopreneurs.

Your business doesn’t need to be bigger, faster, or louder.

It needs to feel aligned.

HELLO, I’M KRISTA - THE SLOW CREATIVE

I Believe Business Can be Simple and Soulful — Honouring Your Energy, Creativity and Values.

When you build from that place, your work feels calmer, more sustainable, and far more joyful.

If you’re a sensitive, service-based solopreneur who craves simplicity, alignment, and a way of working that honours who you are so you can show up with more ease, beauty, and intention, pour yourself a tea, love, you’re in the right place.

I write and podcast about slow business, creativity, and intentional marketing on Substack. It’s where I share reflections, encouragement, and practical tools — all rooted in the belief that your business should support your life, not consume it.

It’s honest, it’s imperfect, and it’s deeply personal — because I’m building this right alongside you.
