We Love Challenges And Deadlines

We’re brand building, WordPress wielding, Lego playing nerds dedicated to creating beautiful, flexible, powerful platforms for rapidly growing businesses.

Design Not Decoration

Design without purpose and intention is merely decoration — smart, strategic design solves problems and hits defined targets.

Design matters. When done right, it affects consumer perceptions, establishes relevance, builds credibility, enhances professionalism, and creates trust with your audience — It can’t just be pretty, it must actually work to trigger emotions, drive action, and make sales.

That’s why we keep it simple and focus on what matters most. We listen, dissect the problem, research the landscape and constraints, evaluate the possibilities, and offer solutions that meet the goals of our clients and the needs of their audience.

Digital Strategy and Website Consulting

Creativity Through Collaboration

Great ideas are only as good as their practical application, which in turn is only as good as the team behind it.

We believe that close collaboration between our clients and our team of designers, developers, and strategists, encourages new ideas, shapes creative strategies, creates cohesive solutions, and pushes past traditional boundaries to create extraordinary results.

Before we even talk about design, we first get to know you, your brand, and your business. We approach form and function simultaneously, clarifying objectives and constraints, uncovering challenges, and exploring how to turn your brand story into a visual adventure for your audience.

Creative Collaboration

WordPress Evangelists

We’re passionate about open source and WordPress and have been developing solely on the platform since 2008.

We fell in love with WordPress because it puts our clients in control of their websites and empowers them to quickly and easily edit and publish content anywhere at anytime (even in the middle of the night in their pajamas from their smartphones).

We’re big believers in giving back and supporting the WordPress project and community. That’s why you’ll often find members of our team attending and speaking at WordCamps, WordPress Meetup groups, other WordPress related events, and business conferences.

WordPress Design and Development

Sacramento And Beyond

We grew up in the suburbs of Sacramento, went to Sacramento State, and co-organize the Sacramento WordPress Meetup group.

We’re a full service design studio and Genesis recommended developer located just outside Sacramento, California, that offers a comprehensive suite of services, including brand design, graphic design, web design, WordPress development, and digital strategy.

As a partially distributed company, we occasionally co-work in our Roseville office, and the rest of the time we work remotely with our team, our partners, and our clients by using tools like Basecamp, HipChat, Google Hangouts, Skype, GitHub, and Dropbox.

The Bourn Creative Team

While we value work-life balance and have a lot of fun, we take our role and our work very seriously, approaching every project with a relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.

There are strategists that can plan it, designers that can make it pretty, developers that can make it work, and marketers that can make it sell — at Bourn Creative you get it all in one agile team working collectively to make your business goals a reality.

Brian Bourn

Chief Executive · Lead Developer

Strong with the Force, is he... an excellent CEO he makes. As Bourn Creative's fearless leader, Brian manages the business, team, and day-to-day operations.

From restoring classic cars, to remodeling homes, to imagining solutions for the web, Brian is a designer at heart who strives to create simple, seamless experiences on devices of all types and sizes. He leads the UX design and development on all company projects, building the interactions between websites and visitors, and site managers and the WordPress admin.

I've seen Return Of The Jedi at least 150 times.

With hundreds of thousands of lines of code under his belt, Brian specializes in all things WordPress, the Genesis Framework, and responsive design.

When not working, Brian loves going on family adventures away from the business of city life, consumes content like it's going out of style (and his iPhone only makes it worse), and pretty much exists on breakfast burritos, smoothies, and coffee. He is a huge Star Wars fan who prefers the Machete Order and owns more Star Wars Legos than any grown man should.

Probably a Sith... her passion is infused in her every move. As founder of Bourn Creative, Jennifer is an award-winning designer with a penchant for writing, white space, chocolate, and Legos.

She has been in the design, web, and digital strategy trenches since 1997, working with corporations, casinos, professional sports teams, magazines, creative agencies, political campaigns, small businesses, and entrepreneurs alike. Today she consults on brand, website, and digital strategy, leads all design projects, and specializes in WordPress theme design.

I have won every game of Disney Trivia ... ever.

When not obsessing over pixels, margins, and type, Jennifer manages the Bourn Creative brand, writes for our blog, and manages the creation and iteration of our internal systems and processes.

Jennifer is a mom of two who hired her husband to be her boss (go figure) and do everything she doesn't like doing. She loves tea and is learning to love coffee, swoons at the sight of colorful office supplies, and has never met a whiteboard she didn't like. When not working, she loves to cook, ride bikes, go on vacation, play board games, read trashy novels, and play Legos.

“We believe that the role of design is more than just making something look pretty. Design must get attention, grab interest, and naturally guide someone to take a desired action. It establishes relevance, credibility and professionalism, and creates the trust factor that every business craves.”
