About

ABOUT MY WORK

I’m an intuitive designer with over two decades of experience designing and coding for the web. I’m focused on guiding small businesses and personality brands in creating beautiful and effective online spaces.

I’m not an MBA, a social media guru, or a buzzword-anything. But I do know a thing or two about running an online business. And I believe that a strategic web needs a little — no, a lot more heart.

I’m not that into business as usual. I want more than that for myself — and for you, too. I genuinely believe that we can have it all – flourishing businesses, work-life balance, and a life that makes us excited to get up in the morning.

I founded my first WordPress design business on July 16th, 2009, and that business has evolved over the past decade and a half into this one.

In the past fifteen years, I’ve helped nearly 300 small businesses up-level their online spaces.

I’ve worked with clients like Harvard, NBC Sports, and Mariska Hargitay’s Joyful Heart Foundation — but my true love is designing websites that evoke instant connections.

These days I work almost exclusively with femme-owned small businesses - namely creative folks, personality brands, and wellness professionals. If you are an author, therapist, bodyworker, healer, artist or similar, you are in the right place. I can't wait to meet you.

ABOUT ME

I like to say I have a scientist’s mind and an artist’s heart.

I am a solo mama to a little boy called Day, who was born in March of 2020. We live in a tiny, Stars Hollow-esque town in Maine, sharing our home with a bunch of pets: a french bulldog, a big poodle, the world's chillest cat + and her wild bengal kitten sidekick, a foster-failed bunny, and an ancient chinchilla who is almost old enough to go to college.

My passions (outside of making the internet gorgeous and effective) include mixed media + textile art, writing, reading, powerlifting, and photography.

I’m an outgoing but highly-sensitive INFJ, an Aquarian with a Cancer rising, and a Reflector in human design.

I like my home to be filled with people, plants, and animals, and I’ll do anything I possibly can to brighten your day, even if I barely know you.

In Memoriam

For nine years, R.T. was my partner-in-all-things. He helped run both of my former businesses, SixteenJuly and Website Refinery. Many of you worked with him directly, so know how helpful, kind, and conscientious he was.

R.T. passed away unexpectedly the morning of July 16th, 2020, due to a previously undiagnosed heart condition.

He was a dedicated friend, a talented musician, a remarkable life partner, and the sweetest papa to our little one in the first months of his life. He was loyal, loving, charmingly ornery, and hilarious. He was my best friend, my greatest love, my most steadfast companion. I am endlessly grateful for the time we had together, though it could never have been enough.

We'll miss you forever.
