Meet your designer
Mom, wife, lover of coffeE and good red wine
Hi, there beautiful. I’m Lia, an educator-turned-web designer, mom, and passionate advocate for peaceful and balanced living. After spending 10 years in the K-12 and Higher Education world, I found myself facing burnout and longing for a more balanced, fulfilling life. That’s when I decided to take a leap and pursue my true passion: web design.
Combining my background in copywriting and coding, I now specialize in creating calm, inviting websites for women-led businesses that focus on improving the lives of the people and communities around them. My goal is to craft beautiful, functional online spaces that resonate with both heart and purpose.

Creating space for healing, and embracing a more mindful way of living grounds me in every part of life.

This started in graduate school but I love crafting homemade products using local, natural ingredients—from candles that set a cozy vibe to skincare that feels like self-care. Creating from scratch brings me so much joy and I can’t wait until I can share what I know with my daughter.
my values

Simplicity and Ease, Always
Running a business is hard enough. Your website? That should be the easy part. I keep things clear, simple, and stress-free, guiding you every step of the way. No tech overwhelm, no confusing processes—just a smooth, enjoyable experience that gets your
dream website launched fast. -
Inclusivity & Accessibility Matter
Your website should be welcoming to everyone. I prioritize accessible, user-friendly designs so that all visitors—regardless of ability—can experience your brand with ease. Representation is important to me, and I love working with businesses that value inclusivity and making a difference.

Community Over Competition
I believe in lifting as we climb. When women support women, we all win. My work isn’t just about websites—it’s about building relationships, fostering collaboration, and helping businesses grow together. If you’re looking for a design partner who genuinely cares, you’re in the right place.
philosophy
Your website should work for you, not against you, making it easier to share your work, connect with your audience, and grow your business with confidence. In my approach, I focus on clarity over complexity, creating websites that are not only beautiful but also functional, inclusive, and designed with purpose. A well-designed website isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about making sure everyone can access, navigate, and engage with your content effortlessly.
I believe that web design should feel calm, intentional, and empowering—never overwhelming.
