Websites for meaningful work, built with clarity and care.

I design Squarespace websites for creatives, coaches, and purpose-driven organisations who want a digital home that reflects the heart of what they do. If your work feels important, personal, or quietly visionary, you’re in the right place.

PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

I work with people at the intersection of creativity, transformation, and purpose.

From visual artists to retreat leaders and coaches, from therapists to NGOs working in climate change, education, or faith communities. On the surface, these fields look different. The thread underneath is the same:

✓ You care deeply about your work.
✓ You want it translated clearly.
✓ You need someone you can trust with your vision.

I’m here to bridge creativity and structure so your ideas feel grounded, your message feels clear, and your online presence feels like you.

About Claire

Over the years, I’ve worked with artists, therapists, coaches, NGOs, and small businesses — people united by a desire to do meaningful work in the world. What I actually deliver isn’t just a website:

✓ It’s attunement to your story.
✓Clarity where things feel scattered.
✓ Structure that supports your creativity.
✓ Design rooted in texture, nature, and narrative.
✓ Systems that leave you capable and independent.

My process is collaborative and spacious. You won’t be rushed into decisions or bulldozed into trends. We move thoughtfully, with care for both the vision and the nervous system behind it.
