Why work with me

The advantage of a designer who shows up.

Most web designers hide behind email. I'd rather sit across from you and understand your business.

Local & in person

Meet me at your shop or favorite Bay Area café. We'll plan your site over coffee — not in a 40-email thread.

Or face-to-face on video

Outside the Bay Area? We'll hop on a video call so it still feels personal — and so we move fast together.

Made for small business

No bloated agency fees, no jargon. Just a beautiful site that brings you real customers and is easy to update.

It depends on what you need, but most small-business sites land between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. We'll talk numbers honestly on our first call.

Do you only work in the Bay Area?+

I love meeting clients in person around the Bay, but I work with small businesses anywhere over video calls.

Can I update the website myself?+

Yes — I set you up with a simple way to edit text and photos, and I show you exactly how.

How long does it take?+

Most sites launch within 2–4 weeks once we kick off, depending on how much content you have ready.
