“Good design makes you feel good even if you don’t know why.” I create meaningful, virtual experiences with an approach grounded in a passion for storytelling. As both a designer and a writer, I focus on both the visual presentation and the written narrative. I help my clients to distill what makes them unique and to embrace it.
All of my work is custom, so that a site doesn’t feel templated, matches a company’s branding, and expresses depth, personality and professionalism.")

The new site was built on Squarespace to enable a more nimble in-house process for frequent project additions, press features and new partnerships.")

Their philosophy centers around creating spaces that are as practical as they are beautiful and the website was crafted to be a direct reflection of that ethos. Every element was carefully considered to ensure that the site not only looks stunning but also invites visitors to imagine the possibilities for their own homes.
The Power of Imagery
One of the most powerful aspects of The Kitchen Connection’s new website is the use of rich, professionally shot imagery. These images take center stage, capturing the attention of potential clients from the moment they land on the site. The imagery serves as a visual narrative, guiding visitors through a journey of what’s possible.")

The website design is playful yet dramatic, featuring mouth-watering professional flat-lay photography of each of their custom recipes available for sale on the commerce website.")

The overall result is a site that perfectly balances elegance with accessibility, making high-end, curated travel feel both luxurious and within reach.
Washed-out pastels carry an understated elegance, resembling faded travel memories or the soft hues of a sunrise over a distant city.
Nothing feels corporate or rigid; instead, there’s a softness that invites visitors to feel at ease, almost as if they’re already on their journey. This blend of professionalism with warmth gives the site its unique personality—an aesthetic that feels both luxurious and personal.")

This imagery is carefully curated to symbolize the therapeutic process—a journey into the unknown, where each client’s path is as unique as the collages that grace the site. Each image speaks to the uniqueness of the therapeutic experience, where no two journeys are the same, and where healing is an art form as much as it is a science.
The color palette of the website is deliberately chosen to contrast with the darker, more mysterious setting. Feminine and bright tones are used to create a sense of balance, offering a visual metaphor for the light that can be found even in the darkest of places. This contrast not only makes the website visually striking but also serves as a reminder of the hope and positivity that Amanda brings to her practice.")

Aside from serene peace, her guided walks in Ohio can also offer stress and anxiety reduction, blood pressure reduction and a boost in concentration and memory.
The design aesthetic for her website is rich and immersive with images and video that envelop you in the grandeur of nature, giving visitors a virtual taste of what they will experience on one of her walks.")

The design of the new website goes beyond functionality; it’s an extension of the luxurious experience that the spa is known for. The interface is clean and elegant, with a minimalist design that lets the content and imagery take center stage. The color palette — warm greens and ivory — and nature-based imagery evoke a sense of relaxation and renewal. The branded script font is personal and welcoming yet sophisticated in its use as an accent.
One of the standout features of the new website is its extensive collection of service pages. Recognizing that potential clients seek detailed information before committing to a treatment, each service offered by the spa is given its own dedicated page. This level of detail not only educates potential clients but also instills confidence, reassuring them that they are in expert hands.")

The layout features a harmonious blend of color and white space, creating a sense of sophistication and cleanliness. Images of fresh, vibrant dishes, primarily greens, are set against minimalist white backgrounds to captivate without overwhelming.
Each image is carefully curated, taking inspiration from the brand’s unique logo: four hand-drawn vegetables that serve as a whimsical yet stylish emblem of the Greens and Dreams philosophy. The hand-drawn illustrations reinforce the personal touch that Chef Olivia brings to her work, while the predominantly green palette, punctuated by warm tones, keeps the site visually cohesive.
The typography on the site complements the fresh, elegant aesthetic. A thin, black serif font conveys a timeless and sophisticated tone. The font style, paired with ample white space in each section, enhances readability and gives the pages a refined, airy feel.")

The aesthetic foundation of the CA Sculpt Pilates website is a soft, earthy color palette in muted pastels inspired by the studio's logo. These colors add warmth and serenity to the site, inviting clients to experience Pilates in an environment that feels as supportive as the studio itself.
A consistent “gray wash” overlay gives each photo a soft, subdued look that keeps the visuals cohesive.
A defining visual element of the site design is the use of off-center collages on the homepage and across all page headers. These collages bring a modern and artsy touch to the layout and give the website a distinctive, memorable look that represents the studio’s creative approach to fitness.")

Throughout his medical career, he has encountered numerous patients with chronic illnesses, witnessing firsthand the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges they face. These experiences inspired him to create Foreign Bodies, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of those living with chronic conditions.
The website's branding is a critical component of its overall impact. Warm colors, such as soft white, rich taupe, and light gold, are used throughout the site to create a soothing and inviting atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is clean and modern, with a focus on usability and accessibility.")

The website is minimalist, modern and sleek, designed to create a sense of exclusivity and attract the higher-end home buyer.
A black background creates a premium feel and allows imagery and video to appear more vibrant and detail to stand out. The layout is uncluttered to create a sense of sophistication. The fonts are refined to create an elegant aesthetic.")
