About

Creative Atmosphere. Where creativity meets strategy.

Creative Atmosphere is a one-person web design and branding studio serving small businesses across Oxford, Brant, and Norfolk County. Founded in 2016 by Kristen Jerry.

I’m Kristen

Your small business partner

Hi, I’m Kristen Jerry. I’ve been designing websites and brands for small businesses in this part of southwestern Ontario since 2016 — from Woodstock and Ingersoll through Brantford and out to Port Dover and Simcoe.

I started Creative Atmosphere because I kept meeting business owners who were excellent at what they do and frustrated by everything around it. The website that never got finished. The logo that only exists as a JPG. The Facebook page nobody’s touched since 2022. None of it is the reason they got into business, and all of it quietly costs them work.

That’s the part I handle. Websites, branding, print and signage, social media, SEO, and ongoing hosting and care for more than 180 small businesses.

Running a business is hard enough on its own. When we work together, you get one person who knows your business.

the way I work

What makes working with me different

One person, start to finish

You’ll deal with me from the first call through launch and after. I know your business, I remember the context from two years ago, and I’m the person who answers when something breaks the day before a launch.

Strategy before decoration

Every design choice has a reason behind it. Structure, messaging, and layout come before colours and fonts — because a site that looks good but doesn’t bring in work hasn’t done its job.

Local, and staying that way

I live and work here. I’ve built sites for businesses in Woodstock, Brantford, Port Dover, and Scotland, designed for Rural Oxford Economic Development Corporation and the Woodstock Accessibility Committee, and sponsored the Brant Battalion and the Woodstock Curling Club. This isn’t a market I’m targeting — it’s where I am.

At the heart of what I believe

Strategic creativity. Design isn’t decoration. Every website, brand, and campaign is built with a specific outcome in mind — usually more of the right enquiries and fewer of the wrong ones.

Collaboration & support. I work with clients, not just for them. You’ll see progress at milestones rather than disappearing until launch day, and you’ll never get an invoice for a conversation.

Honest advice. If I think you don’t need what you’re asking for, I’ll say so. Sometimes the answer is a Google Business Profile rather than a new website. I’d rather give you the real answer than the expensive one.

Let’s go beyond business

Community support

I’m proud to sponsor the Brant Battalion and the Woodstock NavyVets. Supporting the teams and people who make this area home matters to me.

Foodie fix

From trying new dishes to savouring classics, I’m always up for a good meal.

Coffee order

A Tim Hortons Ice Capp — because some addictions are worth it.

Live shows

A theatre lover at heart — especially anything from the Stratford Festival. The music lover in me finds me gravitating towards live music venues too!

Water life

If there’s a boat and open water, you’ll probably find me there.

Travel style

Land, air, or sea — I’m always up for the next adventure.

Forever learning

Whether it’s new tech or a fresh skill, I’m always eager to grow and adapt.

Supporting small

Championing small businesses and non-profits because local matters.

It’s been amazing to see my vision come to life every time!

I have worked with Creative Atmosphere on several branding, website and marketing projects over several years. Each one was unique and the development process was a true joy!

Kristen was such a treat to work with!

She created a Brand Development package for my new business, and it was everything I hoped for. She is very responsive, and the work she created was fun, vibrant, and fresh. I will absolutely be coming back for more designing!

Here’s how I can help

Not sure where to start?

Website Design

I need a website that brings in calls.

A site built around how your business actually runs, not a template with your logo dropped on top.

Social Media Management

I don’t have time for social media.

I handle the planning, captions, and branded graphics, so your presence stays steady.
