WEB DESIGN & BRAND IDENTITY
Design rooted in cohesive brand identities and marketing creative that bring clarity, confidence, and personality to authors, nonprofits, and growing businesses.
Most brands play it safe. Yours won't.
Over a decade. Brand after brand. One hard truth: forgettable design is the most expensive mistake a business can make. I build brand identities and websites that are impossible to ignore — for authors, nonprofits, and businesses ready to stop blending in.

Our Story
Design that supports real goals.
Black Cat Creative takes its name from my two studio companions, Ruhn and Riddie — who oversee every project from my desk and occasionally crash client calls. Their presence is a reminder that the best work is focused, intentional, and still human.
I'm Chelsea O'Malley — a graphic designer with over a decade of experience, a published author, and a genuine obsession with getting your brand exactly right.

We first connected early in her career, and as I’ve moved through different roles and companies, she’s remained my go-to freelance graphic designer. Chelsea has a strong ability to understand brand identity and consistently delivers well-designed, on-brand creative assets. She’s highly talented, communicates clearly, meets deadlines, and is always receptive to feedback. I’ve really valued our long-standing partnership.”
