Some background
I started my design career in the corporate office of Circuit City Stores in the 90’s. Since then I have worked for several in-house corporate marketing teams as a graphic and web designer – with my last role in a small creative agency in downtown Richmond.
In 2009, I founded my own design business and began working on a few freelance projects a year outside of my full-time design roles. In September 2019, I began the adventure of working for myself full time.
My passion is to help business owners use visual communication to make their companies or their marketing work better. Our team’s focus is in graphic and web design…but we have a network of creative partners who specialize in photography, videography, brand messaging, copywriting and social media. So if what you need is more than what we do, we happily play with friends!
We love to see people excited about who they are and what they’re here to do in the world. If you’d like to learn more how to work with us, get in touch!

Our Team
As the lead graphic and web designer on most of our projects, I still love being directly involved with our clients’ work. Solving a WordPress problem or designing a logo to reflect the expertise of an established business still gets me excited to show up to work every day.
As our client list has grown, I have brought on support over the years based on our project needs.
In January 2023, Cierra Fountain came on board as Junior Designer. Our team is small but mighty.
We aim to deliver a boutique level of service with a smile. Our clients appreciate the systems and processes we’ve developed to keep their projects on track. We are flattered to be able to work with some of the nicest people and truly celebrate when our clients win.
treat people how you want to be treated
Growing up in rural southern Virginia on a farm, I learned the power of community and the power of keeping your word.
I strive to bring the highest level of service and communication to my clients.

My composition, drawing ability and color theory are all thanks to VCUarts.
My on-the-job experience designing for corporate retail, the financial industry, educational institutions, freelance projects and small agency clients has given me a depth of technical and production skills as well as creative and relationship building skills.
design, strategy, and smart execution can transform your business
It's a great honor to help someone create an expression of who they are or what their business stands for.
I take that honor very seriously and strive to work in a collaborative and positive way with each of my clients. In life and in business, things don’t always go as we would like. Even in times of complication or struggle, I try to work toward a solution, remaining respectful, patient and helpful throughout the process.
Brands We Love & Leverage
We work with and trust the brands listed below and leverage them all the time in my work – or to run my business. In full transparency, some of these companies offer affiliate perks to us if you decide to work with them (by clicking on the links provided), but we confidently recommend them all.
As a true partner to our clients, we discover what platform works best for them and we never force my clients to choose a platform or tactic that is just not a fit. We have built this website on WordPress and host it on WP Engine. However, we have clients on many platforms including WordPress, Weebly, Wix, Squarespace and Odoo.
Notable Creative Partners
We love giving credit where it’s due!
These are some of the local creative folks we trust. We have partnered with them personally and can confidently recommend their work.
I adore our partnership.
