About Next Chapter Creatives | Our Story & Mission

Four Brands. One Vision.

Next Chapter Creatives was formed with intention and heart. The name itself comes from my own next chapter in life, a reminder that even through challenges, new beginnings are possible. After facing obstacles and seasons of change, I wanted to create something that reflected resilience, creativity, and hope for what comes next. 

The vision was not for just one brand, but for four distinct brands to live together under one creative home. Blonde Logic™, Kind + Clever™, The Forever Home Project™, and Memory Lane Paper Co.™ were imagined to share creativity, spark joy, and give back in meaningful ways. Each brand supports a nonprofit that reflects its mission, helping to create positive change for women, children, families, and animals.

Our Brands

The Next Chapter

Right now, our story begins with t-shirts, but that's only the first page. More products are coming soon, so be sure to check back often. And while four brands tell our story today, a fifth chapter may be waiting to be written, one designed especially for men and, like every brand here, linked to a nonprofit mission that matters.    

Founder’s Note

I’m Katie Dalton, founder of Next Chapter Creatives. Beyond creating these brands, my most important role is being a mom. I work full-time in the legal field, I've just been accepted into a Master of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence program, and I launched this business, all while raising my child as a single mom.  

I’m also proud to share life with my two rescue pups, a brother and sister Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boxer mix. The five animals in The Forever Home Project™ logo represent the rescues I’ve adopted over the past couple of decades, including my very first, who lived a full and happy 16 years. Family and creativity are at the heart of my life, and you'll see them woven into every design and collection.

I've learned that resilience and creativity often grow strongest in the busiest seasons of life. It hasn't been easy, but it's proof that when something matters to you, you find the drive to make it happen.

With gratitude,
Katie Dalton
Founder, Next Chapter Creatives
