Stories and ideas that spark imagination and connection.
At Gifford Creative, storytelling is a way of helping people and organizations discover who they are and share it with the world.
From books and creative writing to narrative development and community storytelling, the work centers on ideas that inspire curiosity, clarity, and connection.
What We Do
VOICE
Every meaningful story begins with clarity about who you are and what you stand for.
Gifford Creative helps individuals and organizations articulate their voice—defining the ideas and perspectives that shape their message.
STORY
Once the voice is clear, the story can take shape. Through writing, editorial storytelling, and narrative strategy, Gifford Creative turns ideas into compelling narratives that connect with audiences.
PLACE
Communities and organizations all have stories worth telling. Gifford Creative helps mission-driven organizations and creative entrepreneurs tell authentic stories about place, identity, and impact.
BOOKS
Stories for young readers can spark confidence, curiosity, and imagination. Gifford Creative develops and publishes children’s books that encourage young readers to discover their voice and explore the world with wonder.
OUR MISSION
We take the mystery out of achieving your editorial goals.
The Bird Who Couldn’t Tweet, written by Darcy Gifford and illustrated by Drake Gifford, is the debut project from Gifford Creative.
A story about courage, persistence, and finding your voice, it blends playful storytelling with art that’s fun and quietly expressive.
Perfect for families, educators, and anyone who believes that when you have something worth saying, you have to keep trying.
