I take a down-to-earth approach to strategic design so that your brand and website resonates with your people - and feels like YOU.
Joyful design for genuine brands.
showit website design and branding
I believe in starting where you are, using what you have.
But also know that it’s okay to acknowledge that something’s not working and it’s time for a change.
Let’s work together to design a genuine, memorable brand and website that aligns with your goals.
Let's thank your current brand and website for helping you get here.
Preparing well is the foundation of a successful project. You’ll answer some questions, write website content, and gather images. I’ll be available to support you and answer questions!
Pre-Homework
I’ll translate your completed homework into a brand and Showit website that resonates with your people and feels like you. Along the way, I’ll be sending updates and requesting your feedback!
Design Process
I’ll walk you through taking your site live, and show you how to use Showit. For your future success, I’ll also share resources for marketing your business!
Launch & Celebrate
And I’ve found that the simpler I make things for you, the better! You’ve already got enough on your plate, boss lady. Here’s how we’ll go from idea to launch in 3 clear phases:
Working with a website designer should be fun, not stressful.
the Process
You’ll know the plan + timeline from day 1, and I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way so that you don’t have to guess what’s next.
Our communication will be streamlined with the help of my trusty project management tools.
In addition to messaging regularly, we’ll meet over Zoom a few times throughout the process so we can chat face-to-face.
We’ll take a proactive, grace-filled approach to handling any issues that might pop up (because hey, life happens).
I’ll give you pep talks when you’re struggling with a decision, and send extra resources if you’re feeling stuck.
That’s why I’ve worked hard to cultivate a client experience that’s rooted in organization, clear communication, and empathy.
I’m here for your business,
but I’m also here for you.

I could tell through her website and the work she has done for others was everything she could do for me. I am so very excited and pleased at all the hard-work and efforts she as put into my website."
Maya's calm and attentive personality and reviewing her work, spoke volumes to me.
One of the best qualities she has is how punctual she is with her work. When you're juggling multiple projects at once it can be difficult when one of your collaborators isn't on time. Maya is not one of those people. She is wicked talented and very nice.
I think the new website will impact Salood because how easy it is to navigate now. Maya did a great job conveying our programs offered which will help with new visitors."
Working with Maya was easy. She approaches each project with curiosity and wants to do whatever she can to achieve next level branding.
- Josh C, Nonprofit Leader
- Elyse V, Food Blogger
Additionally, the initial homework forced me to think about my brand and its needs more concretely, which allowed me to map more specific goals.
Maya has created a beautiful and functional site that will truly propel my business forward. Her care and expertise has made the process easier than I could have ever imagined. The website as well as the branding have both exceeded my expectations, and I feel so lucky to have found her!"
From start to finish, Maya made the process incredibly straightforward, so I felt comfortable throughout.
At this time, I don’t offer copywriting services. However, I’ll provide you with copywriting resources to help you write copy that connects and converts! Since I want your website to be the best it can be, I recommend investing in the services of a professional copywriter and photographer, if you can. I am also happy to recommend resources for finding high quality stock photos.
Will you write my website text & find images for me?
A few key things I will need are: your completed homework assignments (including website content), Showit login and domain information, and for you to show up with a willing, positive attitude! After signing the contract and paying your first invoice, you will receive welcome emails with more in-depth information about what you’ll need to provide and how to submit it.
What will I need to provide for you to create my brand + site?
Yes, you will need to pay for a monthly or yearly Showit plan that is separate from my designer fee. I recommend the Showit + Basic Blog Plan for websites with a small or new blog. Check out the Showit + Advanced Blog Plan if you have a large website and blog. You can view Showit's pricing here.
Do I pay for a Showit plan?
Showit is a website platform that is perfect for showcasing creative brands like photographers, therapists, life coaches, nonprofits, and bloggers. It features an easy drag + drop editor. The Showit + Blog plans integrate with WordPress for powerful blogging without the hard to edit site.
