We’re here to help you tell a better brand story.
Hi! We’re Carey + Christina.
We met in art school, where we spent years immersed in craft and the creative process.
We learned how to build an atmosphere that elicits emotion from an audience. We learned how to draft and redraft. We learned that more is not always more; sometimes it's just noise. We learned how to workshop and collaborate—how to listen to critiques and use feedback to shape and rebuild. We learned how to tell powerful stories.
Creativity is more of a superpower now than it has ever been. Marketing is narrative. It's imperative for brands to build worlds that people want to step into and inhabit.
We're here to help you tell your story.
Working with Cowbird Creative is one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Carey and Christina are tonal alchemists and creative geniuses, with decades of experience as writers, artists, and designers. They combine so much expertise under one roof.

Working with Cowbird Creative was not only wildly helpful, but also a whole lot of fun (which isn’t something most people can say about revamping their website and brand!) As a coach and consultant offering a whole bunch of services, I needed help bringing clarity and cohesion to how I present what I do. Carey and Christina had such cool ideas, and guided me through every step: messaging, visuals and overall brand identity with incredible skill and lots and lots of care.
