I recently had a honor of working with an amazing painter, @erin_lato. Erin paints large scale abstract pieces that she sells online and through a gallery. Referred by a friend, Erin approached me and gave me complete creative control of designing a website for her business. Check out her new custom designed SquareSpace website and online store at ErinLato.com. It was a pleasure Erin!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #webdesigner #websitedesign #webdesign #websitedesigner #websitesforcreatives #smallbusinessbranding ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #creativewebdesign

I think many of us have been evaluating what is important to us, what is working, what is not, in these crazy times we are living. I've gone through the last months with my only thoughts about my business being that I kept my promises to my clients and filled projects that I had committed to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To say it's been a rough few months would be an understatement. I've been trying to take it breath by breath... trying to remember all those hours in hot power yoga class and what it taught me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Personally, I still just can't wrap my head around things, but business wise, I'm finally at a point where I can evaluate and start to look forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thought that keeps coming back is, how does one market when the world is in crisis? I think just by being authentic, and saying I'm here accepting new projects, if and when you are ready. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Any other business owners have thoughts on this? Are you marketing? How does your business look different going forward?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womenownedbusiness #creativewomen #creativewomenrock #femininewebdesign #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #webdesigner

I've been quiet with all the events of the last few months, but I've been working on projects. I wanted to take a moment and share one of our latest website launches. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #websitedesign #webdesign #websitedesigner #websitesforphotographers #brandingforphotographers #smallbusinessbranding ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #creativewebdesign

It’s funny how things have come around full circle to these little Instax camera being cool with the tweens! (I remember the Polaroid being the neatest thing ever when I was a kid.) We celebrated Mac’s birthday today and had fun playing with her new camera. #personal #photography #slowliving #retro

One of my favorite quotes...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this season of busy, I'm trying to remember to take things slow, to focus on my clients, and my family, and to take time for self-care, especially practicing yoga. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #letsdothis #chasingslow #creativeatheart #dowhatyoulove

We just launched a new website! Check out @jessiehearnphotography. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jessie runs a photography studio outside of Chicago, and came to me wanting to rebrand her web presence. She had already purchased a template but it needed tweaks and pages added. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We worked together to create a meet the team page with detailed bios for each member of her studio, and a Services page that breaks down all the little information pieces while still looking pretty (and easy to read!). Plus we polished the template to match her business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you Jessie for choosing me to work with on this project! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womenownedbusiness #webdesigner #femininewebdesign #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #webdesignforcreatives #photographers

Do you have a personal manifesto? I created this 4 years ago as part of a group challenge, and I find it fun to revisit every so often. I just tweaked it to reflect today, but the core feel still stays the same.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I wake up in the morning, the very first thought in my mind is my family, including our furry children. And after that, coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love to savor my first cup of coffee, but I admit many mornings are more of a race than a slow journey. That's okay. It's where we are in life right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strolling on the beach, even on a drizzly overcast day, is always a good idea. One day I will own a small cottage on a quiet rugged coast somewhere, so I can do this more often.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my world, Basecamp and my Simplified Planner are absolute necessities. It's the perfect merge of digital and paper to keep me on task, for my business and personal life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My clients are awesome, intelligent, women who want to live a creative life. Beyond designing and developing their websites, what I care about most is helping them to sort through all this tech geek stuff, so that they can run incredible businesses and live the lifestyle they want.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Makeup and fashion are over-rated. Yoga and protein shakes (chocolate of course!) are much more rewarding.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Striving for always being yourself, living in the moment, and laughing each day, is a must. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #familylife #chasingslow #simplicity #livethelittlethings #creativehappylife #dowhatyoulove
