Designs That Inspire Confidence and Connection

Editable templates and custom digital designs by Kristen Hale, blending creativity, professionalism, and purpose for schools, families, and small businesses.

Hi, I’m Kristen Hale — Designer, Educator, and Creative Problem Solver

I’m Kristen Hale, the founder and designer behind Simple Desert Designs — a creative studio built on the belief that great design should be both beautiful and attainable. With over 30 years of hands-on experience in business, education, and charitable design work, I’ve spent my career helping organizations and individuals communicate their message with clarity and purpose.

My background as a business major, combined with years in retail management, teaching, and educational leadership, has given me a deep understanding of how visuals influence connection, learning, and engagement. From developing branded materials for schools and small businesses to volunteering design expertise for community and charity projects, I’ve seen how thoughtful design can make a lasting impact.

At Simple Desert Designs, I bring together creativity, strategy, and heart — crafting editable templates and custom digital designs that empower others to share their stories beautifully and confidently.

Where Purpose Meets Design

Every design at Simple Desert Designs starts with intention — blending modern fonts, cohesive color palettes, and versatile layouts to help you communicate with confidence. I focus on making templates that are:

• Editable and easy for anyone to customize.

• Affordable, so every school, small business, or family can look professional.

• Elegant, balancing simplicity with style.

From fundraiser posters to custom logos, my process always begins with listening — to your goals, your story, and your audience. The result: clean, modern designs that inspire connection and make an impact.

Designs You Can Rely On — Backed by Experience and Heart

Trust is the foundation of everything I create. My years in education and business taught me that details matter — not just in design, but in how people feel when they use your work. That’s why I prioritize:

• Accurate file formats for print and digital use.

• Consistent customer support — I personally respond to every question.

• Verified customer reviews from schools, small businesses, and families who use my templates with success.

Join thousands of satisfied customers who’ve used Simple Desert Designs to elevate their projects — from classroom fundraisers to professional branding.

Every design begins with a story — and I’m endlessly grateful for the customers who’ve trusted Simple Desert Designs to help bring theirs to life.

Giving Back Through Creativity

Simple Desert Designs grew from a love of creativity and community. I’m proud to design templates that make fundraising easier for schools, empower small businesses to shine, and help families celebrate life’s special moments. Every purchase supports my mission to make design tools simple, accessible, and joyfully creative.

Each project supports art, education, and community — turning thoughtful design into something that inspires kindness and growth.
