[ABOUT SAINTE NOIRE & FOUNDER, CELESTE]
Celeste is the founder and creative director at Sainte Noire® and Mother of two, Wife and Artist. Established in 2020, Sainte Noire® is a design studio for ambitious, bold women who are eager to share their creative vision and personal values with the world. We challenge our clients to think bigger than "online brand-building" with creative solutions that bleed into everyday life.
Celeste knows artists because she is one; from singing, dancing, poetry and songwriting, designing, creative direction and more her whole life has been a series of self expression and finding ways to be profitable off of her creativity. As an artist and creative you get told that you will be lucky to make a living off of your creativity, a lot. Now, Celeste spends her time helping other artists, creatives and women business owners be more than profitable off of their creativity - she helps them become thriving artists.
[THE APPROACH]
Celeste’s approach to design is high-fashion, editorial and focuses on turning artistry-driven humans with businesses into thriving brands that are leading and respected in their industry using her signature framework (THE SHIFT, THE NOVELTY BRAND, THE IMPACT). As a designer that puts an emphasis on user experience and user interactions, she infuses these into all of her work so that you don’t have to choose between visuals and strategy.
Instead of just relying on your portfolio, skillset or product to convert for you, Celeste focuses on creating a brand image that’s profitable and reflects your messaging and purpose. Celeste doesn’t believe that you have to sacrifice aesthetics for conversions, in fact it’s the opposite. The aesthetics is what will get you the conversions at a much larger scale.
Our work is rooted in knowing, conceptualizing, and resonating with your brand’s core. Every project we produce is unique in its own right — no two client projects are the same.
OUR MISSION
We are reshaping the landscape of society, inspiring those around us to stand up for their beliefs and take control of their narrative through their brand experiences. Hand in hand, we are paving the way for future generations to embrace radical self-expression through their art.
THE VISION
Though our work feels editorial and glossy, it is brimming with usability and personality. We truly believe that great brands transcend global and cultural boundaries, making space for true human connection.
OUR VALUES
At Sainte Noire, we emphasize design that dives deeper than aesthetics. Design is an art–one that must intricately balance craft with psychology, and always carry a deeper meaning.
[THROUGH THE LENS OF HUMANITY]
We believe in humanity first, always. We honor the rich humanity in our community: Agreement is not necessary, but respect and dignity are. Everyone deserves decency, and we are committed to creating safe spaces that build one another up.
[BE UNCONVENTIONAL]
We are proud to say that we are not for everyone. We are out-of-the-box-thinkers, risk-takers, and difference-makers. We believe crazy ideas are tangible and feasible.
