Entrepreneurs juggle a lot—often building the plane while flying it. I’m Kat Hope Jones, founder of Kat Hope Jones Creative Solutions. After more than two decades supporting independent businesses, I’ve come to deeply understand the challenges, decisions, and grit behind every dream that gets off the ground.

The idea for my business came to life in March 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. While I was on furlough, I started volunteering my skills to help small businesses and nonprofits navigate the chaos. What started as a way to contribute quickly became a calling.

As 2021 brought more layoffs and closures, I also saw something remarkable: new businesses being built from scratch—bold, scrappy, and full of heart. When the offer came to return to full-time work, I chose instead to keep showing up for those founders who were betting on themselves.

Kat Hope Jones Creative Solutions was built on that same belief: that dreams are worth chasing, collaboration creates momentum, and small businesses deserve big thinking. I’m not just a consultant—I’m a partner who’s here to help you move from ideas to impact. Let’s build something great together.

THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Kat—a creative strategist and problem-solver who thrives on turning challenges into meaningful progress. My career began in the 90s at my family’s photography studio, where I learned to blend artistry with smart business thinking.

After college, I led a regional marketing team representing major national brands, then pivoted in 2009 to support more than 100 independent business owners as a salon consultant. In 2017, I joined a pioneering medtech startup, leading a team that earned global recognition for innovation. Since 2020, I’ve focused on helping small businesses in my community grow with clarity, creativity, and purpose.

Outside of work, I’m deeply invested in my family and community. I love spending time with my two kids and cooking alongside my fiancé, Conor. I also direct a nonprofit children’s gymnastics program and founded SisterShip Small Groups—an adventure club for women—back in 2022.

My path has shaped me into the leader I am today. Whether I’m building a brand, guiding a business, or organizing a community initiative, I bring a balance of strategic insight and creative energy to the table. I’m always up for a challenge—and I’m excited for what’s next.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me.
