Hi! I’m Kristen.
Leigh is my middle name.
I’m a wife and mama of two, and we live in the high desert of Reno, NV near the Sierra Nevada mountains. Lake Tahoe is a short drive away and I love basking in the beauty of these mountains any chance I get!
I’m a born-creative. Sound familiar?
I’ve been making things with my hands and dreaming up fun projects as long as I can remember. In my 20’s, I found myself launching my own Etsy shop selling my hand-knit items and then several years later, I started writing and selling my knitting patterns online.
As that business grew, I learned a lot about how challenging burnout can be as a solopreneur and how easy it is to want to quit altogether when your passion becomes your work.
My goal as Director of Marketing is to help you streamline your marketing strategy so that you can avoid the overwhelm I experienced!
While I was starting my design business, I was also working in marketing for a large online retailer of craft products. I learned a ton in that role and went on to manage the marketing for many different projects over the next 10 years.
But, my creative brain was ready for a new challenge.
Last year, I decided to start break out on my own and offer my skills to other creatives so that I could help their businesses grow. I launched my freelance business, Kristen Leigh Creative in July of 2020 and never looked back!
Now I help creative solopreneurs like you create a marketing plan that is both fun, easy, AND attainable all while getting results for your business.
I still design knitwear and create knitting patterns and hand-dye yarn for knitters and crocheters at www.kristeninstitches.com.
I’ll likely always have a creative business of my own going…I just can’t help myself!
Want to see how I can help you take your marketing strategy to the next level and avoid the overwhelm? Book a call with me below and let’s chat!
