What I wanted to achieveI approached my own website the same way I support my clients - with clarity first. I wanted a space that felt vibrant, warm, and intentionally designed for women creatives; a digital home that reflected my values, my brand pillars, and the kind of work I love creating. The goal was to build something bold and strategic, not just pretty: a site that felt aligned, purposeful, and ready to grow with my business.
Who it was built for
My audience is ambitious, heart-led women entrepreneurs who want a website that reflects who they are now. I kept this at the centre of every decision, making sure the design communicated confidence, creativity, and ease from the first click.
The foundations
Before touching design, I mapped out:
my brand voice and tone
refreshed colours, typography, and signature phrases
the customer journey and how visitors naturally move through the site
what actions I wanted people to take on each page
This phase ensured every visual choice had intention behind it - a reflection of my “clarity before design” approach.

Creating the visual directionI built a mood board, refined my colour palette, and selected typefaces that felt vibrant and grounded — exactly the balance I bring to my client projects. The aim was to blend warmth with polish, offering a look that feels both creative and strategic.
Homepage first
Just like in my design-week process , I started with the homepage to set the tone. I focused on:clear messaging
bold but spacious layout
intuitive hierarchy
strong calls-to-action that match how clients naturally enquire
The homepage became the anchor for the rest of the build.
Bringing the site to life
After finalising the homepage, I moved through each core page, weaving in:
storytelling-led copy
personalised imagery
thoughtful animations and transitions
curated white space for a calm, confident feel
Everything was shaped to feel welcoming and easy to navigate - true to the supportive, collaborative brand experience I offer.

Squarespace structure
The site is built entirely on Squarespace, using custom layouts, strategic section blocks, and a seamless mobile-first structure. Every page was designed with clarity, conversion, and ease of use in mind - both for visitors and for long-term management.Key features included:
tailored page layouts built to guide visitors through a natural narrative
coding used to bring unique styles and features to the design
integrated contact and enquiry flows
SEO foundations applied across all pages
refined settings, metadata, and accessibility improvements
a streamlined navigation and footer that support the user journey
Ongoing growth & refinement
Just as I offer post-launch support , I treat my own site as a living project. The design evolves as my business grows, my services expand, and my brand continues to bloom.
