3 Crown Creative

What 3 Crown Creative does

3 Crown Creative was a Seattle-based boutique creative design studio that operated from 2005 to 2022, providing custom WordPress website development, web design, logo and brand identity design, and print design services (including book design, CD/DVD packaging, posters, brochures, and business cards). The studio served a diverse client base of more than 70 customers over its operating life, primarily small businesses, authors, visual artists, musicians, and non-profit organizations, with a geographic concentration in the Pacific Northwest but national reach (e.g., Barkhouse in Manhattan, Ray Troll Art in Alaska, Canote Brothers in North Carolina). Notable engagements included branding work for the luxury Barkhouse dog hotel, multilingual platforms for international best-selling author Don Winslow, and government projects such as the Lower Duwamish Waterway Group Superfund cleanup partnership (in collaboration with Stephenson & Associates).

The studio was staffed by three core practitioners: Susan Rosenbaum (Print Designer and Studio Manager, MFA in photography from the University of Washington), Tom Collicott (photography, digital photo-illustration, and web design), and Carol Deckelbaum (computer programmer since the 1980s who transitioned into web development). This three-person team combined creative disciplines (photography, illustration, print design) with technical web development capabilities under one roof, which the studio positioned as a differentiator versus single-discipline providers. Its business model was project-based, consultative engagements with quote-based pricing; revenue was generated from one-time project fees rather than recurring contracts or SaaS subscriptions. Marketing was conducted primarily through portfolio presentation on its website and word-of-mouth referrals within regional creative and small-business networks.

3 Crown Creative ceased active operations in 2022 after 17 years. Its website now functions solely as a static archive of completed print and web design work, and the company explicitly states it is no longer accepting clients. There is no indication of a sale, acquisition, or transfer of the business; the firm appears to have wound down independently. No revenue, funding, headcount, or ownership information has been publicly disclosed.
