I’ve worked with brands like RJ Reynolds, Sennheiser, Backstage, and Sundance Institute, but my focus is on helping small and mid-sized businesses establish a powerful online presence.

Your business deserves a high-end website that reflects your brand’s quality and ambition. Working with my team helps you achieve a tailored, strategic web experience designed to help you stand out and grow.

WEB DESIGN, SEO AND CONTENT

let'scollaborate

custom web design WEB DESIGN: Our custom web design projects are hand-coded completely from scratch or starting with a coded theme and tailored to your brand. Depending on your package, full-stack development is an option for those needing more robust functionality. Get a high-performing custom website that comes SEO optimized and mobile-friendly, giving you a professional online presence that pays dividends.

Once your site is launched, you'll transition into a monthly Care & Maintenance phase that covers hosting, monthly upkeep, and security checks. We also offer optional, enhanced maintenance packages that include ongoing edits and updates (for text and images), Google Analytics reporting, and content strategy consultations to boost engagement and SEO.
business concept development CONSULTING: Whether you’re refining an early-stage business idea or preparing for launch, this consulting service helps transform concepts into actionable strategies. Through structured guidance, we’ll clarify your core offerings, refine your market positioning, and map out a step-by-step approach to build, launch, and grow your brand.

Depending on your package, this service may include business model strategy, competitive positioning, customer journey mapping, pricing structures, and go-to-market planning. Additional add-ons, such as brand identity development and website strategy, are available for those looking for a more hands-on approach to execution.

This is an ideal starting point for entrepreneurs and small teams looking to turn a strong concept into a fully realized business with clarity and direction.; Using either Squarespace or Shopify, a "DIY Jumpstart" starts you on your online journey with a solid foundation laid by us. We design a visually appealing website framework, setting the stage for you to inject your own text and image content when you're ready.

This offering is ideal if you're looking to build your online presence on your own time, and would like to manage it yourself, blending an affordable and professional design with personal input. Single or multi-page options are availabe for DIY Jumpstart projects.

Once your site is launched, signing up for one of our optional maintenance packages gives you the best of both worlds: maintining editing access to your website (that's the DIY part), and receiving the guidance of a professional designer as your brand grows and your website needs evolve. Package options include ongoing edits and updates for text and images, analytics reporting to see how visitors are interacting with your website, and content strategy consultations to boost engagement and SEO.
seo & paid media DIGITAL MARKETING: Basic on-page SEO setup is included in every web design project we create to establish your website's visibility. However, a thorough SEO audit and strategy is significantly more effective for your brand's visibility. Ask us about SEO and Paid Media services to learn more about how to improve your website's Google ranking and attract new website visitors that convert to customers and clients.
content writing CONTENT: Offered for web design clients, website content writing ensures your brand's message is conveyed with clarity and precision. Let's elevate your site with content that resonates.

Looking for standalone writing assistance? Tell me about the project and I'll see how I can help.
photo & video MEDIA: Engaging and high-impact photography and videos help you tell your brand's story. Capture the essence of your brand with our photography and videography. From corporate headshots to branding videos, we've got the lens that brings your vision to life. (For the time being, shoots must be local to New York City.)
