About E.Hopkins Creative

Hi, I’m Ellen.

I’m a Squarespace and Canva designer partnering with entrepreneurs, ministries, and small businesses to create clean, strategic, and high-converting visual foundations. My work is designed to bring clarity to your message, confidence to your brand, and structure to your online presence—so your marketing actually supports your growth.

With a background in communications and over a decade of hands-on creative experience, I blend thoughtful design with practical strategy to help clients move forward with confidence, not confusion.

Ellen Hopkins | Squarespace & Canva Designer

My Approach

Good design should do more than look nice—it should remove friction, simplify communication, and support real business goals.

My work is rooted in: Strategy before aesthetics, clarity before creativity, simplicity over overwhelm

Whether I’m building a full Squarespace website or designing scalable Canva templates, my goal is always the same: to create visuals that are not only beautiful, but functional, intentional, and easy to use long after launch.

Clients often describe me as a creative partner, not just a designer—someone who thinks through the “why” as much as the “how.”

My Story

My foundation in design began with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications, followed by a Master’s degree in Counseling Ministries. About 10 years ago, I launched an online ministry, which is where I first immersed myself in Squarespace, Canva, digital marketing, and content strategy.

That blend of ministry, communication, and design naturally led to my role as a Media Director at a church, where I spent years building visual systems for the church website, social media, video, and marketing materials. Alongside that work, I began offering design services on Fiverr as a way to supplement my income and grow my skillset - one that I now utilize not only for our new church plant but also for many other small businesses, coaches, and ministries.

What started as a side venture quickly grew into a thriving design business with dozens of five-star projects, a 4.9-star client rating, and recognition as a Squarespace Circle Gold Member. Today, I am intentionally growing E. Hopkins Creative beyond marketplace platforms to serve clients directly - offering deeper collaboration, long-term support, and greater flexibility for both businesses and agencies.

Experience & Credibility

Clients often compliment my speed, communication, and visual consistency, as well as my ability to bring structure to complex ideas.

  • 10+ years in creative communications & digital design

  • Media Director experience with full brand and content systems

  • 4.9-star Fiverr rating with hundreds of completed projects

  • Squarespace Circle Gold Member

  • Dozens of full website builds & scalable Canva systems

  • Long-term repeat clients across multiple industries

E. Hopkins Creative is a great fit if you:

  • Value clean, strategic design over trends alone

  • Want visuals that support real business goals

  • Appreciate fast communication and clear processes

  • Are ready to invest in quality, not shortcuts

  • See design as a long-term foundation, not a one-off task

Working Together

Whether you’re a business owner or a small agency outsourcing design work, my goal is to make the process smooth, strategic, and reliable.

My process is simple, structured, and collaborative:

  1. You inquire with your goals and scope

  2. We clarify your vision, audience, and needs

  3. I design and build with clear communication throughout

  4. You launch with confidence and continued support options

I may not be the right fit if you:

  • Are only looking for the lowest possible price

  • Need instant turnaround without a structured process

  • Want design with no strategic direction behind it

This clarity helps ensure every project starts from a place of alignment and mutual respect

If you’re ready for a website or visual system that feels intentional, aligned, and built for real growth, I’d love to learn more about your project.
