Who Howle Creative is for

Howle Creative is built for people who care deeply about what they’re building and want a website that actually reflects it.

We work best with:

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by tech decisions, frustrated by designers who didn’t listen, or stuck with a website that looks fine but doesn’t perform, you’re in the right place.

This is not a high volume studio. It’s a hands on partnership designed for people who want their website to mean something and do something.

Curious if we’re a good fit?

Founder & Lead Website Designer

Hi, I’m M, founder of Howle Creative. My story starts in 1999, when my parents promised me a computer if I got straight A’s. At the time, they were working multiple jobs and counting every dollar, so it felt impossible. But I went from a solid C student to winning awards, and that Christmas, after first handing me a mouse as a joke, my mom came back pushing a giant computer box across the floor. That computer changed everything. It taught me to code, to stay curious, and to understand that every choice matters.

By eighteen, I was obsessed with design, not just as something visual, but as empathy made visible. That passion took me to Apple, where I learned that care lives in the smallest details: the weight of a font, the shape of a button, the rhythm of an experience. In 2016, I started Howle Creative with one belief: design should feel human. Since then, I’ve worked with businesses, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and small teams across the U.S. to build websites that feel intentional, strategic, and unmistakably true to who they are.

A website isn’t just a collection of pages. It’s a reflection of someone’s identity, effort, and belief in what they’re building. My job is to make that feel seamless, thoughtful, and built to last. I care deeply about the people I work with, the quality of the work, and the trust behind it. Because design isn’t really about pixels or plugins. It’s about people, and the stories we choose to tell.

“Our website traffic has doubled, we’ve had a significant increase in visibility, and our page now has a first page ranking.

Our values

Our values aren’t just words on a page. They are the heartbeat of how we work, how we treat people, and how we show up every day. They guide every project, every conversation, and every decision we make.

You won’t get templates or shortcuts. Every project is approached with care, curiosity, and a genuine desire to create something that fits your business, not just the brief.
You’ll be listened to. Your goals, concerns, and constraints matter. We collaborate closely so the final result feels aligned, not imposed.
You’ll get honest recommendations, clear expectations, and transparency throughout the process. If something isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so. Your trust matters more than upsells.

What it's like to work with us

“As a first time business owner, I was pretty nervous going in, but seeing the final results gave me the confidence I needed to present my business to the public. I receive many comments on how beautiful my website is.”

“M quickly grasped our nonprofit’s mission and helped us build a beautiful website that encapsulated who we are. She addressed accessibility immediately and understood the back end engineering needed to ensure we ranked well in searches. I’m really looking forward to our continued partnership.”

“The decision to select Howle Creative was easy. M recognized that a platform migration didn’t make sense for us, even though it would have been more lucrative. Her honesty and professionalism were demonstrated throughout the project.”
