How We Started In 2015
Up Creative Media's journey began with humble roots as ET Media and Studios. Like every business owner, I have a story of triumphs and falls. It all started with a problem: I couldn't afford professional graphics and web design for my ministry. As prices continued to rise beyond my budget, I realized I had to find a solution. Determined to overcome this obstacle, I embarked on a journey of self-learning, diving headfirst into the world of web design. I knew I wasn't alone in facing this challenge, so I began offering my services to others at little to no cost, eager to gain experience and refine my skills. With each project, I honed my craft, taking classes and seeking out opportunities to grow. Before I knew it, my skills had flourished, and clients were willing to pay for the quality of my work.
expanding beyond our core web and graphic design services
In 2019, our family at Up Creative Media expanded beyond web design and graphic design, venturing into the realm of branding. It became clear to us that our clientele needed more than just a website; they required comprehensive brand strategy, identity, visuals, web design, and logo designs to truly stand out in a crowded market. This realization prompted us to diversify our services, catering to small business owners and individuals with personal brands alike. Additionally, we established a dedicated ministry division within our company to continue serving the needs of ministries. Our shift towards primarily serving women business owners was deeply rooted in my personal journey. Growing up in a single-mother household, I witnessed firsthand the remarkable strength and resilience of women. My mother, my superwoman, not only excelled as a mother but also thrived as a dynamic businesswoman in corporate and state government. From her, I learned the importance of understanding and meeting women's unique needs and desires in business. It's about more than just completing a project; it's about being intentional about design, offering extraordinary compassion to business owners, and developing strategies that truly serve their businesses. This sustained expansion has empowered our team to grow, ensuring we possess ample resources to meet our clients' diverse needs. Moreover, we are honored to have achieved official Wix partner status, underscoring our extensive repertoire of exceptional web design services. At Up Creative Media, we are perpetually committed to delivering exceptional outcomes, fostering enduring partnerships, and delivering unmatched value to our clients. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to serve you and contribute to your triumph
