Squarespace, Wix & Shopify Websites

I design custom Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify websites for small businesses in the Cowichan Valley and across Vancouver Island. Each website is thoughtfully built to reflect your business, present your work clearly, and make it easy for clients to get in touch.

Web Design

Over the course of 4-6 weeks, you'll receive a fully customized website that seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality. This includes a user-friendly interface, responsive design for optimal viewing on all devices, intuitive navigation, and strategic placement of engaging content. Options to add online bookings and payments.

Graphics & Branding

Whether you’re after a custom logo, full branding, wedding invitations, brochures, flyers or social media graphics, I will ensure a consistent and captivating presence that leaves a lasting impression on your audience. Custom printing can be arranged for an additional cost. Digital files delivered in 1-2 weeks.

My Background

I hold a Bachelor of Education from the University of Victoria, along with a post-degree certificate in Special Education from Queen’s University. My background in education has shaped the way I approach my work, with a strong focus on clear communication, thoughtful structure, and guiding clients through each step of the process.

Based on Vancouver Island, I feel fortunate to live and work in the Cowichan Valley, on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Hul’q’umi’num speaking communities. The natural landscape and pace of life here continue to influence my design style, which leans clean, intentional, and grounded.

I’m often drawn to simple, well-made details and spend time finding inspiration in everyday places, from local shops to thoughtfully designed spaces. That perspective carries into my work, where I focus on creating websites that feel considered, cohesive, and aligned with each client’s brand.

Outside of work, life is centred around my family. With two young children and our rescue dog, Charlie, most days are spent outdoors or on the go, which keeps things balanced and brings a sense of energy into everything I do.

A Website that Feels like Your Business

Your website is often the first impression people have of your business.

If it feels outdated, unclear, or hard to navigate, it can create hesitation before someone even reaches out.

I design custom Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify websites that are clear, professional, and easy to use. Every detail is considered so your website reflects the level of your work and builds trust right away.

The goal is simple. When someone lands on your site, they should quickly understand what you do, feel confident in your business, and know exactly how to take the next step.
