CURATE
STUDIO
BESPOKE CREATIVE
CONSULTANCY
BASED IN CHARLESTON, SC
Founded in 2021 by Lauren Steffes, a young professional with over 10 years of experience in marketing, PR and publishing industries working with fine artists, entrepreneurs, hospitality professionals and more.
Seeking to captivate and delight through tailored services.
So, where did the name "curate" come from?
Curate (verb):
select, organize, look after and/or present, typically using professional or expert knowledge
Curator (noun):
the keeper of a museum or other collection
From Latin: "cura" means "to take care."
When we work with a client or company, we feel a sense of ownership and responsibility to their purpose, passion, vision and dreams.
Especially with our background working primarily with fine artists and other creative business owners, we saw a need for providing nuanced, heart-level support that went deeper than the typical, cold consultant relationship.
We decided to coin the term "bespoke creative consultancy" because that's precisely what we are: committed to crafting services to your specific needs.
And to do so with great care.
If you're looking for:
BRAND/BUSINESS direction and clarity
Through strategic consulting and 1:1 coaching, we will devise a detailed step-by-step plan to get you exactly where you desire to go.
WEB, COPY, SOCIAL & DESIGN THAT SELL
In addition to providing well-worded, beautiful websites and design, we make sure everything we do will ultimately grow your business...and your bottom line.
someone who just *gets* you
Since we work with only a select few clients at a time, we are able to invest deeply in each client and project we take on. We get to know the real you, so we can make sure all the work we do on your behalf feels true-to-you.
GREAT NEWS.
We can help with that.
As a full-service creative consultancy, we offer (practically) every service under the sun that you could ever need to achieve your unique business goals, no matter where you're at in your professional journey.
All we've got to do is get started.
Birthing a new brand?
Seeking fresh vision for a seasoned business gone stale?
What Makes Us Different
We're not just your average commercial consultancy.
And you'll never be just a number.
We believe in creating work that looks and feels and reads like art, rather than cranking out carbon copies and worrying about what everyone else is doing.
We don't believe in rushing but prefer to take our time, paying great attention to detail and ensuring your final product is built to outlast ever-changing trends.
Whether we work together on a small or large project, we are here for the long haul.
We are here to help you leave legacies.
We are here to take great care in all that we do for you.
seriously, this is pretty special
"Working with Lauren was a magical experience!"
Lauren is a powerful coach, as she fights for you and with you, doesn't let you cut any corners, and does all things with elegance and excellence with constant grace and love.
She has really taught me to own who I am and be confident in my work. She has helped me grow as a a writer, artist, and as a young female entrepreneur.
Working with her wasn't work but was such a fun and exciting experience of growth and constant breakthrough.
I couldn't imagine starting a business with anyone else, as Lauren truly goes above and beyond to help launch you into your calling with vision, passion, and support.
