About

Hi, I’m Davis

I have always been fascinated by brands, their identities, and the strategy behind what makes them memorable. Through work across hospitality, real estate, beauty, events and small business, I have helped brands bring their stories to life through thoughtful content, authentic messaging and intentional imagery.

DS Creative takes on a small number of clients at a time. You work directly with me, on every piece, from the first conversation to the last post.

Say hello

How it works

Five steps, in order.

  1. One

    Say hello

    Email a few lines about your business and what you need.

  2. Two

    A conversation

    One call to understand where you are, where you want to be, and what is in the way.

  3. Three

    A written proposal

    Scope, timeline and deliverables, agreed before anything begins.

  4. Four

    The work

    Direction shared early. Nothing is published without your sign-off.

  5. Five

    Ongoing

    Monthly content, reporting and refinement. For brand projects, final files delivered and yours to keep.

Questions

Before you ask.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Founder-led, service-based businesses where the personality behind the work is part of the brand. Realtors, interior designers, builders and architects, coffee shops and restaurants, wineries, jewelry brands, equestrian businesses, wedding professionals, florists, boutiques, wellness studios and spas, artists and creative entrepreneurs.

Do you work outside Central Virginia?

Yes. Social media management, strategy and branding are handled remotely for clients anywhere. Photography is shot on location, most often in Central Virginia and the surrounding region.

Do you publish pricing?

No. Every engagement is scoped to the business and quoted in a written proposal, so you see exactly what is included before anything begins.
