LIFE IS A CREATIVE ACT.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?
In a world of homogeny and blah – never mind 1.5 billion other websites – you need to stand out! It’s time to strut your stuff with a brand and website you love, one that aligns with YOU.

SERVICES
Think about is as an investment in your business and life; one that will pay for itself by increasing your online presence, connectivity and customers, as well as pave the way to your ultimate financial goals!
CONSULTING
Freelance firepower from a seasoned creative director, without the long-term commitment.
ART & ALCHEMY
I believe there is an art and an alchemy to expressing yourself, especially online. How your profile and business looks and is perceived matters A LOT! Often, it’s your first, and sometimes only, impression.
My aesthetic leans minimalist, but also warm and approachable.
My designs are modern and uncluttered, with room to breathe.
I like words that are sparing yet potent.
I design for a visual experience that’s clean, and cuts through the noise, helping you focus on what’s important!
A few of my favorite quotes on creativity…
“Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.” ~ Dorothy Parker
“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.” ~ Pablo Picasso
“A creative life is an amplified life.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
“Creativity takes courage.” ~ Henri Mattise

You want it done in quickly so you can get on with your business and your life, but you know that great design is not your thing. You’ve landed in the right place! I can build your website in 2 weeks and then teach you how to update it yourself :)

Maybe you know what keywords are but after that, you’re lost. I’ve been creating websites since 2012 and I’ve seen the evolution of SEO; it’s a science these days! Fortunately, Squarespace has the basics covered.
