Hey there, I'm Galen!
Founder of Local Creative. I'm a web designer, business strategist, and latte-loving mom in my backyard farm era (I dream of chickens and my own garden, but for now, the farmers market will have to do).
I got my start as a self-taught designer and photographer and found myself hooked on simplifying the technical side of business and marketing. I create holistic brands, combining visual strategy, intentional design, and marketing that works behind the scenes.
When I’m not designing websites, you’ll find me hanging out with my rescue dog, two cats, horse, and toddler, or enjoying a pint of Ben & Jerry’s (because ice cream is non-negotiable).
Over the last five years, I’ve built a small but mighty team to support this community. Together, we’re on a mission to make the internet feel a little more human – one personality-packed website at a time.
What we do best...
We’re all about delivering the full package—design, strategy, and everything in between—so you can build a brand that not only looks professional, but elevates your entire online presence.
