Hiya, I’m Renee

I get my kicks out of designing beautiful websites with intentional strategy and a little bit of flair. *wink wink*

I’m here to listen with curiosity, guide with compassion, design with creativity, and (most of all) EMPOWER you within your business.

 
 

A designer who gets it.

Remember that one time you committed to something you thought was going to be quick n’ simple (and take 10-20 minutes, tops), but then it was actually surprisingly complex and took WAY longer than you wanted it to?

YEP, THAT’S THE WORST.

Having been-there-done-that, I wanted to help creative business owners avoid this not-so-fun experience when it came to their websites.

My design packages are made for *that* moment: when those delightfully busy entrepreneurs realize they’d much rather be running their businesses . . . not wading through Google searches full of branding advice & web wizardry, trying to figure out how to craft a beautiful, functional site that authentically represents who they truly are.

And since I believe that all entrepreneurs are bold, brave and wildly impressive, my goal is not only to make their lives easier, but also to empower them along the way.

My process is built to help my clients to feel solidly grounded in themselves, authentically represented in their brand, and truly confident making changes to their website in the future.

After we’ve worked together, you will…

Know what it’s like to feel seen and heard during the design process.

 
 
 

Be able to check a big ol’ project off your to-do list (!!!).

 

Feel clearer on what you do & how to represent it online and in the world.

 

Have a beautiful, über professional, totally custom website (& the skills to successfully update it)!

 
 
 

Feel empowered by your brand & confident when using your Squarespace site.

 

Receive more inquiries from clients who are truly aligned with you.

 

Have the ability to up your prices & feel solid in who you are and what you offer.

 
 
 

Be so truly proud of your online home!

 

My Philosophy

When I’m asked why I do what I do, I always answer: “Because it makes both sides of my brain happy!

The Right, more visual & intuitive part of my brain loves design in all of its elements; how colors, shapes, texture, photos, movement and more create an undeniable feel. And the Left, more orderly, analytic side of my brain digs the data that makes for a successful (profitable!) visitor experience and enjoys honing tried-and-true strategies that help the design process to flow effortlessly.

I believe websites can be aesthetic works of art AND business-generating tools, and I believe that with a supportive guide, the right resources, and a few weeks of focus, design can create actual magic within your business.

That’s why I love taking on one client at a time, whether for two weeks, one day, or an hour or two (because I can immerse myself in everything that makes you uniquely you).

It’s why I prioritize guaranteed timelines (because you’ve been waiting long enough to make this project come alive).

And, it’s why I provide you with oodles of resources, from pre-design content guides to post-design video tutorials…because as your business inevitably grows and evolves, so should your digital space — and you deserve to feel confident making that happen.

You ARE a badass, after all.


What It’s Like to Work With Me

I am so very proud to say that my clients often become friends and we stay connected far into the future! It’s *the* best part of this whole shindig, in my opinion.

Cozy is my overall life aesthetic, and it’s also how clients have described working with me; like chatting with an old friend you haven’t seen in ages, who is endlessly curious to see what you’ve been up to, and leaves you feeling excited, rejuvenated & grounded. I love making people feel “at home” even when we’re working virtually!

All this to say: you’re in the right place if you align with me because you’re seeking a delightful experience with a designer who views websites as atmospheres and experiences…not simply a digital means-to-an-end.

    I used to be a therapist! I have my masters degree in counseling & from those days, I have retained the good listening skills, an excellent pair of tortoise-shell glasses, and the ability to ask endless questions.

    My favorite quote on earth is from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the movie):

    “To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.”

    If you’re into fun personality inventories (which I am)…I’m an INFJ, an Enneagram 7, a Human Design Projector, and a Gemini (with a Sagittarius Moon & Scorpio Rising).

    I’m an East coast girl with a West coast heart. I grew up in Asheville, NC and I still currently reside there, but most of my daydreams and travels take me out West – usually to Oregon, Utah, California or literally anywhere in the PNW.

    I spend most of my money on houseplants, and the interior of my home resembles a small jungle. It’s always well stocked with blankets, tea, and dogs.

    If tattoos were a love language, I would speak it fluently. Most of mine relate to nature or natural elements, and either represent ways of being, places I’ve been, or journeys I’ve traveled…literal, metaphorical and otherwise.

 
 

Introducing ease to the process & joy in the design!

Let’s make some magic, shall we?
