From Disney Magic To Digital Strategy

How being furloughed, a lot of faith, and a little pixie dust turned into KW Media Design.

Hi, I’m Kristin—Founder of KW Media Design.

For nearly two decades, I worked at Disney—where I learned that the smallest details can make the biggest difference. I was a Quality Assurance Manager, deeply immersed in guest experience, precision, and the kind of magic that happens when people feel seen, understood, and inspired.

And then, in 2020, everything changed.

Like so many others, I was furloughed during the pandemic. But instead of seeing it as the end of a chapter, I saw it as an invitation:
What if I could use what I’d learned at Disney to help business owners tell their stories just as powerfully?

So I said yes.
Yes to reinvention.
Yes to helping others show up with confidence online.
Yes to building something that blended creativity, strategy, and service.
That’s how KW Media Design was born.

What We Believe

KW Media Design isn’t a big agency—and we don’t want to be.

We’re a close-knit team of designers, developers, and creative thinkers (some of whom are Disney alumni too) who believe that behind every great business is a great story—and that your website should tell it beautifully.

We believe in:

🌱 Growth without overwhelm
You don’t need to learn tech. You just need the right partner.

💬 Real human communication
You’ll never wonder where things stand. We walk with you every step.

🎯 Strategy-first design
It has to look good—but it also has to work. We blend form and function so your site connects and converts.

🪄 A little magic goes a long way
We infuse every project with creativity, care, and a sprinkle of the unexpected.

What We Do (and Why It Works)

We help business owners—especially the busy, the burnt out, and the brand new—build websites and brands that feel like home. Sites that:

✔ Look professional
✔ Function seamlessly
✔ Reflect your values
✔ Grow with you

Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, a service-based team, or a small-but-mighty brand, our process is grounded in clarity, communication, and collaboration.

You bring the vision—we bring it to life online.

In 2018, I hiked to Pulpit Rock in Norway—a nearly 2,000-foot cliff that’s as breathtaking as it is intense. The trail was steep, the rain was relentless, and the climb took almost three hours. Coming down wasn’t much easier. But standing at the top? Totally worth it. That hike sums up how I try to tackle life and business: with grit, heart, and a belief that the hard stuff is what leads to the most rewarding views.
