Creative doesn’t have to be complex.

Founder, Trenton Laffoon

I started a company in 2023 with the idea that we could simplify the creative process for any and every nonprofit organization.

After spending nearly 15 years working with various nonprofit organizations, I began to notice leaders being overwhelmed with the ever-changing landscape of creativity and communications.

My conclusion? The creative process is way too complex.

Over the years, I developed from a part-time freelance designer into a strategy coach and branding expert. I’ve worked with realtors, restaurants, churches, media companies, and nonprofits to provide thoughtful, mission-centric creative and branding services. I’ve coached leaders from concept to brand launch, redesigned logos, built websites, and managed entire nonprofit communications departments. And the common thread has always been the same:

Simplify the creative process.

This is what we do at the Creative Arts Department.

  • They don’t have the time or team to handle creative in-house

  • They need creative training and direction
