There’s something really special about being trusted with someone else’s big idea. 🥹

Read With Your Dog™ was one of those projects.

Jennifer came to me with the books, illustrations, brand + a really freaking cool concept: stories written specifically for dogs, meant to be read aloud by the people who love them.

What she needed was someone to bring it all to life online.

So in 1.5 Design + Strategy Days, we built + launched an entirely new Shopify storefront—complete with custom code, interactive features, responsive layouts, custom product displays, e-commerce setup + mobile-specific design.

Not an out-of-the-box Shopify site. An experience that actually feels like Read With Your Dog. 🐾

And then Jennifer hit me with:

“Your website is the best, paws down!” 🥹

THIS is why I love Design Days.

When you already have the vision + pieces, sometimes you just need someone to step in, see the whole picture, and bring the damn thing to life.

1.5 days. One new Shopify storefront. One very cool idea officially out in the world. 💛

Read With Your Dog™ is LIVE!

My 7-year business anniversary special is officially coming to an end on 9/30 so if you’ve been thinking about working together, this is your last call to save $250 off my day rate.

Book Me for a Day is really for the business owner who’s ready.

You know your business.
You know what you need.
You have the pieces ready to go.

You just need someone to take it from “this has been sitting on my list forever” to DONE.

Bring me what you have, tell me where you’re trying to go + let me do my thing. ✨

My $250 off anniversary special ends September 30. You can book for September or secure an October project by paying your retainer before 9/30 and I’ll honor the anniversary rate.

And right now, I’m taking just TWO new clients for October.

Send me a message with what you’ve been putting off + let’s get it off your plate. 🤎

back-to-school season always feels like a little reset, doesn’t it? 🍂

The routines are changing, fall is around the corner, and suddenly the end of the year doesn’t feel that far away. 👀

If you’ve got projects you want off your plate before the holiday/end-of-year rush, I’ve got a few ways I can help—whether you need ongoing creative support or just want to book me for a day and get. it. done.

✨ September Strategy + Design Days are still $250 OFF
✨ 2 September spots available
✨ 1 retainer opening for September–November

Websites, branding, marketing, social, email + all those little things that keep getting pushed to “later.”

Let’s make this season feel a little lighter. 🤍

I’m opening up a few spots on my calendar for fall 👀

For September–November, I have room for 2 retainer clients who need ongoing creative + marketing support — without necessarily needing (or wanting!) another person on payroll.

Think of me as your go-to creative person for all of those things that keep landing on your to-do list:

→ Website updates + maintenance
→ Social media content creation or management
→ Branding updates
→ Marketing materials + graphics
→ Email marketing
→ And all those miscellaneous design + marketing needs that inevitably pop up when you’re running a business

Retainers are available for 5–10 hours/week (20–40 hours/month) at hourly rate, with a 3-month commitment from September–November.

And if ongoing support isn’t what you need? I’ve got you there, too.

✨ BOOK ME FOR A DAY

Bring me the website updates you’ve been putting off. The marketing pieces you need designed. The brand that needs a little love. The list of 17 things you’ve been saying “I’ll get to that eventually” about.

You bring me the list. I dedicate the day to getting 👏 it 👏 done.

I currently have 1 August spot + 4 September spots available for Book Me For a Day - my day-rate strategy & design experience.

If you’ve been thinking, “I really need someone who can just handle this stuff,” this is your sign.

Send me a DM and tell me what you need help with.

There’s something special about helping a business tell its story in a way that finally feels like them.

When Westminster Weddings & Events came to me, the goal wasn’t simply to refresh their website—it was to create an experience that reflected everything they already offer.

A historic chapel. Beautiful reception spaces. In-house catering. On-site accommodations. Celebrations big and small—all thoughtfully brought together under one brand and one website.

Together we:
• Refreshed their website
• Refined their brand identity
• Updated their logo
• Rewrote website copy
• Clarified their brand messaging

The result is a brand that feels more cohesive, easier to navigate, and better reflects the experience couples and families have the moment they walk through Westminster’s doors.

Huge congratulations to the Westminster Weddings & Events team on your launch, and thank you for trusting me with such an exciting project. 🤍

How many business projects have been sitting on your "I'll get to it eventually" list? 👀

The website refresh.

The branding you've outgrown.

The brochure you've been meaning to update.

The email marketing you know you should be sending.

The copy that doesn't quite sound like you anymore.

The truth is... most small business owners don't need another thing to learn—they need someone to help them make the decisions and finally get it done.

That's exactly what my Strategy + Design Days are for.

In one focused day, we'll tackle the projects that have been weighing on you, whether that's:
✔️ Website design or refreshes
✔️ Brand strategy & brand refreshes
✔️ Logo suites
✔️ Marketing materials
✔️ Email marketing
✔️ Copywriting
✔️ SEO
✔️ Workflows & systems that save you time

✨ For August only, my Book Me for a Day rate is $250 off.

If you've been waiting for the "right time" to tackle those projects, this is your sign.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ below or send me a message, and let's talk about what's been sitting on your to-do list.

Sometimes the hardest part of running a business isn’t the work itself—it’s feeling like you have to make every decision on your own.

The website that’s been sitting unfinished.

The branding you’ve been second-guessing.

The marketing materials you keep meaning to update.

The ideas that never make it past your notes app.

You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

That’s why I offer Strategy + Design Days—one focused day to bring clarity, make decisions, and finally move those projects from your to-do list to done.

✨ Book a Strategy + Design Day for August and save $250.

Send me a DM with DESIGN DAY and let’s take one more thing off your plate. 🤍
