Grow Your Online Presence with Creative Social Strategies

Helping you stay visible online without adding more to your to-do list.

Meet Stephanie

Former Educator • Creative Business Owne

Hi, I'm Stephanie—the owner and creative behind By the Sea Creative.

After spending 15 years in education, including leadership roles, I traded the classroom for the creative world with one goal: helping small businesses grow through authentic, consistent marketing.

I know how overwhelming it can be to keep up with social media while also running a business. That's where I come in.

Instead of hiring a large agency where you're passed from one person to another, you'll work directly with me every step of the way. From planning content and creating graphics to taking professional photos, updating your website, and keeping your business active online, I'm here to make marketing feel simple and personalized.

At By the Sea Creative, I believe every small business deserves marketing that reflects who they are—not generic templates or one-size-fits-all strategies. My approach is built on creativity, communication, and genuine relationships, so you can focus on what you do best while I help you stay visible.

Whether you need ongoing social media management, creative content, website updates, photography, or one-on-one coaching, I'd love to help your business make waves.
