Together, we can make the online world accessible to your business.
Every business owner deserves an online presence that reflects who they are, what they offer, and the difference they make in the lives of their clients.
A website is more than a design. It's how people find you. It's how they decide whether to trust you. It's how your business grows while you're focused on doing the work you love.
From high school educator to freelance web designer
My background is in education. I hold an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Design and a B.A. in English. For years I worked in literacy and communication, helping people find their voices and tell their stories clearly.
When I discovered Squarespace web design and SEO, I realized it was the same work in a different medium. Helping businesses communicate who they are, clearly and beautifully, so the right people find them.
I made it my mission to learn the nuances of crafting beautiful websites, but I didn’t stop there. I studied SEO, worked for top Squarespace SEO company in the world, and now I build gorgeous websites that actually work. And, I’ve never stopped learning, so I stay abreast of what’s rapidly changing in the digital world.
My husband and I live at the base of the Teton mountains in Wyoming, where he runs the family farm. When I'm not designing, I'm gardening, hiking, picking huckleberries, hanging out with friends, or reading by a window with good coffee.

QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER
-
Squarespace is a website builder. It doesn't require plugins that need to be constantly updated in order to function well. Squarespace is better for small businesses and entrepreneurs because it doesn't require the maintenance and vigilance that Wordpress requires.
-
There's so much more to web design than picking colors and adding images. Web design is a blend of art and technology, and a skilled web designer will create an engaging, effective website for your business.
-
The best Squarespace web designer is the one who can create an aesthetically beautiful, functional, and engaging website that helps you streamline your business and connect with potential clients and customers. Additionally, the best web designer for you is the professional that feels like a great fit and can accomplish your goals.
-
A web designer focuses on layout, visuals, user experience, and strategy—how your site looks and feels. A developer builds the technical functionality. I focus on design + SEO using Squarespace, so you won’t need custom code or a developer for most projects.
-
Yes. I can improve your existing Squarespace website’s design, structure, and SEO while keeping what’s already working. Whether it needs a light refresh or a full overhaul, I’ve got you.
-
Absolutely. You can book an SEO Strategy Blueprint or Managed SEO package separately. It’s a great option if your site looks good but isn’t getting found online.
-
I work with small business owners across the US. As a web designer Wyoming-based, I also love supporting local businesses, but thanks to Google Meet, we can collaborate from anywhere.
