Handcrafted branding + websites for the places where people gather
I design brands and websites for churches, coffee shops, and community-first businesses that are ready for people to finally find them, trust them, and show up.
Handcrafted. Rooted in story. Designed to last.

Your brand should look like what you've built.
→Maybe you cringe every time you see your logo.
→Maybe your website exists but you'd rather not send anyone there.
→Maybe everything just feels a little inconsistent — like different pieces that don't quite belong together.
You're not starting from scratch.
You've already built something worth showing up for.
I just help it finally look that way.
Your brand + website
are your front door.
Before someone visits your business, your church, or your camp, they google you.
They look at your website. They look at your social media.
What they find either builds trust or sends them somewhere else.
You've put too much into this for your brand to be the thing holding you back. I can help you make that clear.
Here's How We Can Work Together
Three ways to get your brand where it needs to be — pick what fits where you are right now.
01. Branding
Your logo looks dated, nothing feels consistent, or you're starting fresh.
A complete visual identity built around your story — logo, colors, typography, and a brand guide you'll actually use.

Real Stories From
real gathering spaces
“She provided a great logo and branding for our church”
Paxton was a delight to work with. She listened to my opinions, took notes, and provided a great logo and branding for our church. She exceeded my expectations and listened to what I wanted. She delivered a great brand, carefully explaining and showing her creative process for the end result. Would definitely use her again in a heart beat!
— David Moore, Lead Pastor at New Village Church
“I went from embarrassed to send people to our website — to excited to tell them to look it up.”
We have a great camp, and I went from embarrassed to send people to our website to excited to tell them to look it up. Thank you so much for making such a great website for us.
— Eli Russo, Former VP of Catskill Christian Assembly
“We wanted to create a community-minded third space that felt both modern and timeless. Even with such contrarian desires, Paxton delivered.”
Paxton and her team were essential to the completion of our interior design and decorating project at Joy Church. Her collaborative spirit, clear presentations, and work ethic made working with her a wonderful experience that sets the bar for designers and their teams. We wanted to create a community minded 3rd space that felt both modern and timeless without falling prey to trends. Even in such contrarian desires, Paxton delivered, working well with our team every step of the way. I hope for our future building design and branding projects to continue to utilize Paxton and her team as they executed confidently and pivoted easily when necessary; all with an upbeat attitude and countenance.
— Taylor Drenzyk, Senior Pastor at Joy Church

You’ve seen what’s possible — now imagine it for your brand. Every one of those projects started with a conversation. Yours can too.
Handcrafted Work. Strategic Process.
Every project starts with your story and ends with a brand you're proud to share. Here's how we get there.
01. Start with Story
We uncover the heart of your brand — your mission, message, and what makes you, you.
02. Clarify the Vision
We shape a clear picture of where your brand is headed — the look, the feel, and the story it tells.
03. Hand-Drawn
I start by hand — doodles, sketches, and raw ideas that capture your story before anything goes digital.
04. Design the Details
Here the sketches become reality — custom logos, graphics, and creative pieces designed to stand out and last.
05. Refine & Reflect
We review everything together and make sure it feels exactly right before anything is finalized.
06. Deliver & Equip
You walk away with everything you need — files, guidelines, and the confidence to use it all.
The Founder Behind
Paxton Creative Co
Hey, I'm Paxton — Brand + Web designer and illustrator!Growing up I was always drawn to places that made people feel like they belonged. When I started helping my local church with design, something clicked. The brand, the website, the graphics weren't just decoration. They were the first impression. The thing that told someone whether they were welcome before they ever walked through the door.
That realization changed everything. But honestly it goes deeper than experience. I've always been able to walk into a space and feel almost immediately whether it has that quality — that sense of welcome, of community, of something worth coming back to. That instinct is what I bring to every project.
After 4 years as a church creative director I built Paxton Creative Co around the clients I love most. Churches, camps, coffee shops, and the spaces where people gather, belong, and build something worth being part of.
You've already done the hard work of building something meaningful. I help it finally look that way.
I'm based in Nashville, Tennessee. I'd love to hear about what you're building.
