The Origin Story
My name is Cindy Barshinger, and I’ve always been drawn to the way thoughtful details can turn an ordinary moment into a lasting memory. That life’s sweetest moments - and the people and causes we stand beside - deserve to be honored with intention.
With degrees in Marketing and Business Management, I bring both creativity and strategy to every project. I know how to tell a clear story, reach the right audience, and keep all the moving parts organized. The result is an event that’s not only beautiful and thoughtful, but also intentional, well‑planned, and aligned with the experience you want your guests to have.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt about what it would look like to turn my passion into something more and with every event I plan, I replay my Uncle Moe telling me that God blessed me with a unique gift. With his words in my heart and the support of my husband, Steven—who successfully runs his own business— I decided to take a leap of faith and turned my love for planning and design into Charlie’s Purrfect Creative LLC.
In today’s fast-paced world, milestones can pass us by in the blink of an eye. We have the best intentions, but there isn’t always enough time to plan the gathering, fundraiser, or client appreciation gesture we imagine. That’s where Charlie’s Purrfect Creative LLC enters the picture—to help you celebrate meaningful moments and support important causes with intention.
I’m also deeply passionate about our local community and the small business owners who work hard to chase their dreams. My mission is not only to help you, but also to support small business owners as they transform their vision into a vibrant and successful reality.
With my foundation in marketing and project management, I handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy every whiskers-width of your event. I am here to ensure that no detail is missed and no celebration is left half-finished. Let’s collaborate to make your vision truly dapper, giving you the peace of mind to simply relish the wonderful moments ahead. Allow me to lend a helping paw so you never have to worry about missing out on celebrating life’s most precious milestones.
The Heart Behind The Name & Style
People often ask about the inspiration behind our name, our sharp black-and-white color palette, and our logo—a heart with a paw print and a tuxedo bow tie. Every part of our brand is a tribute to family.
“Charlie” is the nickname my grandfather gave me when I was a little girl. Building this business under his nickname is my way of honoring his memory and keeping his spirit close to my work.
“Purrfect” is a tribute to our beloved tuxedo cat, Polamalu. I became his fur mom when he was three months old, and he quickly became our constant, loving companion. When we lost him unexpectedly to Iris Melanoma at 15 years and 9 months, we were heartbroken. Steven suggested we weave his memory into the business name and design. Our sleek white-on-black look and tuxedo logo reflect his dapper markings, so his legacy of unconditional love and joy lives on in everything we create.
“Creative” represents the heart of what I do: bringing ideas, events, marketing materials, and meaningful moments to life through thoughtful design, organization, and personal touches—so every client’s vision feels unique, polished, and memorable.
I am dedicated to building a genuine connection through a collaborative process that ensures your unique vision is heard. My goal is to bring your dreams to life by crafting sleek, high-quality custom details tailored to your needs. Whether I am coordinating a milestone event, managing a vital fundraiser, or designing marketing materials like flyers, social graphics, and promo pieces that support your existing brand identity, I strive to create work you are proud to display. Let’s work together to produce a purrfectly intentional result that stays dapper and timeless for a lifetime.
