Brand Identity Design

Branding that just feels right. A visual identity that not only tells your story now, but gives you a leg up for the future.

Shopify Websites

An ecommerce website that you're proud to show off (and feel confident making changes on your own). Blending aesthetics and analytics to turn lookie-loos into loyal customers.

Email Marketing

Gorgeous, on-brand email templates + strategic setup = you being actually excited to market your business...and your customers excited to engage.

Support + Strategy

No question is too small, too basic, or too "I should probably know this already." I'm here for all of it; from the quick gut checks to the big strategic decisions.

Because having someone in your corner who gets both the creative and the business side? That's the kind of support that changes everything.

♥︎ A heart-led, human centered design studio.

You didn't get into business so you could memorize acronyms like SEO, CTR, and DTC. You are a creative human who just wants to do creative work, and you deserve a partner who can handle the rest.

Here's how I can help:

Let's team up to tell your story

Chances are, you've been doing this by yourself for far too long. It's time to team up with someone who knows what it's like to sigh upon yet another shipping rate increase, or fret about selling ALL your goods at your next market (because then you'd be feverishly making more to restock), or wondering if you're the only one who has had "build your website" on your todo list...for two years running...👀

I'm Holly, and I'm helpfun

One of my favorite things anyone has ever said about me came from a typo (despite being a proud member of the Red Pen Brigade):

A client meant to write "helpful" in their note while we were working together, but "helpfun" came out instead. They told me the reason why they kept the typo as-is was because working together was actually helpful AND fun, which is how I like to proceed with every project.

When you work with me, you actually work WITH me. Every step of the way.

Angie Diersman

"I was so intimidated by email marketing and having to write copy for everything. Holly is so down to earth and really understands how small businesses work. She made me feel comfortable and guided me step by step to get things done. I feel way more confident with my business now."

Tara Faughnan

"Working with Holly was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. She was so easy to work with, knowledgeable, and able to work with me to create some specific requests I had about setting up my shop and website. She was always timely about answering questions, and gave me tutorials and step by step instructions so I could carry on updating my website after our work together was over. Highly recommend her!!"

Melissa Bracken

"Holly was great to work with. She was always very responsive whenever I had a question. Holly’s creativity was a blessing in my project. She really understands how to bring a vision to an actual working website that is both functional and beautiful! I would 100% recommend Holly she is a great teacher and collaborator!"

Margaret Edwards

"On launch day, I made back the investment in the first 2 hours of sales. It was a huge success. Thank you Holly, without you I'd still be stuck in the 90's."

Gunnar Allen

"The amount of patience and flexibility  for working with non tech savvy people like me. Good Teacher! I recommend Holly to friends and anybody who is starting a business and or upgrading their business!"

Core Values

Helpfun

Working on a project should be helpful fun, and infused with creativity, humor, and thoughtfulness throughout. Even if it's working on something super technical or some tricky troubleshooting.

Education

I’m not just gonna jump in here, bang out some work, and bounce. I’m going to guide and educate you every step of the way so you know what’s happening, why, and how you can work with what I build afterwards.

Inclusivity

I really do consider it a privilege to be able to do the work I do, and I’m committed to making it inclusive and accessible by creating a friendly, encouraging, and safe environment in the culture and in all I do. 

Accountability

I hold myself and clients accountable to guide one another on this adventure with collaboration and education. To do the work in a deep way, but also recognizing that we are human and are more than our businesses.
