Get To Know Me

You've worked way too hard to be forgettable.

The Simply Said Difference

You don’t want your brand to look and sound like everyone else’s - and I don’t want that for you either.​​

​

I believe...

​

🧡 Your brand should reflect who you are and where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.

​

🧡 Your uniqueness is your greatest strength.

​

🧡 Good design starts with clarity, not color palettes.

​

🧡 And the cost of inaction (lost clients, confusion, and second-guessing) is way higher than just getting started. It doesn't need to be perfect.

​

And here’s the thing: you don’t have to be great at branding or web design - that’s where I come in.

​Hi, I'm Sarah

Founder of Simply Said Creative

​Here's the short version of my story.

​

The first time I built a site, it wasn’t part of some big plan. It was a problem that needed solving. I said yes, figured it out, and realized something important: I had a natural ability for clarity and process. For taking scattered ideas and shaping them into websites that elevate your brand, are user-friendly, and finally help you feel aligned.

​

That’s how Simply Said Creative was born. Because I know what it’s like to feel held back by a website you don’t love, or just figuring out where to start — and I know how freeing it is when you love your website.​​

The Longer Version (If You Like the Full Story)

 

✦ Branding yourself? That’s the hardest part.

When I set out to build my own brand, I hit the same wall I now help my clients through: it’s really hard to see your own brilliance clearly.

 

I had the experience, the strategy and the skills - but articulating my own message? That was a struggle. Branding yourself is a whole different game. That’s when I realized just how powerful an outside perspective can be - and why it’s the very first thing I offer my clients.

 

✦ Drowning in freebies, downloads, and buzzwords?

If you’re overwhelmed by all the advice, freebies, online courses, and branding buzzwords… I get it. I’ve downloaded more “ultimate guides” than I can count - some too basic to help, others so long and complicated they ended up forgotten in my downloads folder.

 

And let’s be real: piecing together your brand from a bunch of conflicting advice isn’t just exhausting, it’s a full-time job. If you’re tired of trying to DIY your brand, messaging, and website while second-guessing every decision - I see you.

​

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to do it all yourself.

​

✦ I'm certified in making ideas make sense.

As a Certified Knowledge Translation Professional (yes, it's a thing), I’m trained to take complex, messy, or just plain hard-to-explain ideas and turn them into messages that actually land.

​

Whether you're launching something new, pivoting into something more aligned, or trying to explain your work in a way that gets people nodding yes - I’m here to help you say it clearly, confidently, and in your own voice. Because it’s not just about looking polished. It’s about connecting with the people who need you.

 

✦ I traded the 9–5 for freedom (and WiFi).

Eventually, I walked away from the traditional 9–5. I wanted more freedom, more creativity, and a business that fit into my life - not the other way around.

​

Now, I get to run Simply Said Creative from wherever I am in the world - whether that’s my home office, a café with strong WiFi, or a sunny corner of the globe that inspires fresh ideas. And I help my clients do the same: build brands that are aligned, flexible, and set up to support the life they actually want to live.

 

✦ Simply Said Creative was built for you.

This business exists for the entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful, stepping into a new season, or finally bringing their big idea to life.

​

You’ve got something valuable to offer—but when it comes to saying it clearly, showing up confidently, or pulling it all together into a brand and website that actually works… you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.

​

I’ve been there. And I created Simply Said Creative to be the support I wish I had back then—part clarity coach, part creative partner, and part no-fluff cheerleader.

​

You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need the right support. 🧡

Here's How I Work

✦ Clarity before design.

We start by defining your message and purpose—so every word and design choice reflects what you truly want to say.

​

✦ Guided, not overwhelming.

I lead the process with structure and ease, so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.

​

✦ Design that fits.

We’ll create something that feels aligned, authentic, and built to grow with you.

​

✦ Platform flexibility.

I’m a Wix Partner and also work in WordPress and Wild Apricot, when the project calls for it. We’ll choose what works best for your goals and your comfort level.

 

​​This isn’t just about design or strategy.
 

It’s about moving past the confusion, the overthinking, and the “I don’t know how to say this” and finally building a brand that reflects your work, speaks to the right people, and helps you grow with confidence.

Who I Work With

Over the years, I’ve partnered with clients in many different industries. The common thread? They all wanted a brand and website that felt clear, modern, and true to them.

​

Here are just a few of the industry types I’ve worked with:​

Business Coaches

ASSOCIATIONS

Bookkeepers

Finance Professionals

Healthcare Specialists

Medical Providers

RESTAURANTS

Research Institutes

Tourism & Travel

And other entrepreneurs and organizations just like you! No matter your field, my approach is the same: I help you cut through the noise, clarify your message, and create a website you’re proud to share.
