Art school taught me very little and so much.
Very little because I graduated nearly 12 years ago. The tech has long since moved on.
So much because it’s the foundation of everything I know. Thinking in systems and structure and creativity and pushing the boundaries- those lessons are so deeply ingrained that they don’t even feel like lessons.
I’m a photographer turned graphic designer turned web designer, with a sprinkling of custom framer, upholsterer, art gallery attendant, and sign maker in between.
My rule when I needed a job was that it just had to be creative, and sometimes I had to think REALLY creatively about what made it creative.
This foundation brought me here. Websites click for me. They combine so many things that I love doing- puzzle solving, creating paths, being creative, being analytical.
Business owners are creative, even if you’re not in a typical ‘creative’ industry. As a business owner, you’re literally creating something from nothing - taking your skills, your foundation, your gumption, and turning it into a business, then generating income to keep it a business.
Your business won’t look like anyone else’s, because you’re the only one with your background. Even if you’re using a business model that’s already out there and proven, you’re still building something unique and that makes me endlessly excited.
Websites are the only piece of your marketing where you write all the rules. It’s the part where your foundation fully shows up, building trust with people who want to work with you.
That’s why, when we work together, I want to know everything about your business, so I can make sure your website is supporting your current reality and your future plans.
My books are open for Q2. There’s a couple of ways to work with me:
- Strategy Sessions - Sometimes you just need someone to tell you what’s actually wrong with your website. In 60 minutes, we’ll dig into your site, find the structural gaps, and map out what to fix first. Book a strategy session here
- Website Design - A new site to support your business now and where you’re going. If your offers have shifted and your site hasn’t kept up, it’s time for a website refresh. Book a chat about your website here
