Hi, I’m Catherine Toews, the designer and artist behind Tulip Tree Creative. As a one-woman design studio, I work closely with clients to craft meaningful, high-quality designs that resonate and deliver results.
Specializing in website development, branding, and communication design, I help small businesses, nonprofits, and creative professionals stand out with thoughtful and scalable solutions.

How I Can Help:
Website Design & Development
Your website should do more than just exist—it should actively work for you. Whether you’re selling products, booking appointments, or engaging your community, I’ll design a custom, mobile-friendly website that reflects your vision and works hard for you 24/7.

Let’s bring your story to life with a cohesive and compelling brand presence. Whether online or in person, your brand should connect and inspire at every touchpoint. Together, we’ll craft a visual identity tailored to your goals and designed to stand out.
Communication Design
Effective communication is vital for connecting with your audience. From email newsletters to annual reports, I design digital and print materials that inform, inspire, and align with your brand. Whether you’re sharing a message, promoting an event, or celebrating milestones, I’ll create designs that make an impact.

“Catherine built two websites for us and working with her was a true joy. She is detail-oriented, creative, problem-solving, attentive. She walked us through everything and when unexpected details cropped up, she always brainstormed a workaround. When we first approached her to make our sites, I didn’t know what I didn’t know but Catherine knew the whole way through. Thanks for ably guiding us through, Catherine! We look forward to working with you again.”
