The perfect Ventura day! 🌞 sunshine, @roomserviceroasters iced coffee, and art!
I loved seeing our artists art displayed at the @museumofventuracounty for the @autismventuracounty art show! Also loved geeking out over the historical photography exhibition!
Some projects are about design.
Some are about strategy.
And some are about community.
This one was all three.
We’re proud to launch the new brand and website for Ventura Meat Company — a business deeply rooted in Ventura and committed to doing things the right way.
From day one, the goal wasn’t just “make it look good.”
It was: Tell the real story.
So we built a site that highlights:
• Their wholesome, transparent process — and what truly sets them apart from big-box meat counters
• Their full product line (clearly organized and easy to shop)
• Value-based protein boxes for families who want quality without guesswork
• A Meet the Team page designed to both celebrate their people and attract aligned new hires
• A Community Resource Hub that reflects their commitment beyond the counter
We were part of the creative direction for the photoshoot to ensure every image captured what matters most: quality, integrity, craftsmanship, and connection.
Because when a brand is built on values, the website should feel like an extension of that heartbeat.
This isn’t just a meat shop.
It’s a local staple. A gathering place. A business that cares about where your food comes from, and who it serves.
Strategy-led. Community-rooted. Beautifully built.
It’s more than a website & brand - it’s true kinship.

1 year ago today was my official “crash out” 🫠
The past year has been a quiet transformation. One you can’t really see through a screen or via Instagram or Facebook posts.
What others see is that I “quit” my magazine and business and went back to a full-time job. Most people want to stop working for others and work for themselves, and that’s usually the success story we celebrate. For me, it was the opposite.
February 5th, 2025 was my breaking point.
It was the day I realized I needed help and real change. My anxiety was so intense that I was in physical pain and crying constantly. That day, I also came to the hard realization that I needed to do what was best for ME. To maybe find a full-time job and focus on my mental health for a while.
I kept journaling the same line over and over:
“I am looking for an opportunity where I can be creative and help others.”
A week later, I found a job listing that said: “The dream job for the right person!” After leaving the interview, I just knew in my gut that this was exactly what I needed.
This opportunity has not only helped me mentally, but it has also unlocked what I’m most passionate about: supporting others through art and creativity.
I love that my creative energy is used to support others, not for self-promotion.
When people ask about Soul & Savor, I’m not always sure what to say. Because if I’m really being honest with myself, I’m truly at peace with life right now. It’s been a very long time since I’ve allowed myself to just be.
I’m in a space where I’m excited to learn, grow, and explore with nonprofits, arts management, and supporting others through art and creativity.
✨ NEW SHOPIFY WEBSITE LAUNCH ✨
When Danielle, founder and hands-on maker behind Honey Shine Calendula, came to Kinship Creative, her goal was clear:
✨ a homepage that matched her growth & values
✨ a website that captured more leads
✨ and a shopping experience that felt as intentional as her products
After being picked up by Erewhon, traffic was booming… but the homepage wasn’t doing the heavy lifting yet.
So before colors, fonts, or layouts, we started with strategy.
Who is her buyer?
Why choose Honey Shine over big-box skincare?
What makes someone go out of their way to purchase this product?
From there, we built a homepage that leads with clarity, not clutter.
💛 A three-slide hero section focused on:
1️⃣ Education around skin + ingredients
2️⃣ The mama-owned values and the hands behind the brand
3️⃣ Local Ventura & So Cal markets + in-person shopping
Then we layered in the details shoppers care about:
✔️ Ingredient transparency
✔️ Top sellers + collections
✔️ A cleaner Shopify backend
✔️ In-person stockist banner
✔️ Wholesale integration
✔️ A redesigned header + footer for easier shopping
All wrapped in natural textures of her product and design elements that honor a brand people already love, just reimagined.
It's been a joy working with Danielle and if you are looking for organic skincare that only contains ingredients you can pronounce, check out her store!
