It’s a gift. It makes me special. It makes me weird.

I see the parts of people they often keep hidden—the sparkle they’re too shy to share, the magic they don’t yet believe in.

But here’s the thing: I’m more than a web or graphic designer. As a former CEO, I see websites from an entirely different paradigm. Your website isn’t just a pretty face—it’s the hub of your strategy, the control center of your digital universe.

And that, my dear, takes more than design.

It takes a whole lotta experience in the alchemical lab.

spreading beauty and impact like reverberating ripples.

Website Audit & Zjoush —

Think of this as your website’s Queer Eye moment—the ‘before’ shot before the glow-up. We’ll dig deep to uncover the gold within you (yes, it’s there, even if it’s buried under a pile of digital clutter) and transform it into a website that doesn’t just radiate—it magnetizes.

Imagine a digital presence that pulls in the clients (and life) you’ve been dreaming of. Cue the make-over montage!

Custom Website Design —

For those ready to step into their brilliance like Beyoncé stepping onto a stage, I’ll guide you through a transformative journey. Think of me as your creative director—the one who helps you orchestrate the vision, while bringing in the right team to make it happen.

Every detail—from the visuals to the functionality—will be infused with intention, helping you see your own light in a way you may never have before. And your website? It’s the stage where your magic happens.

Operations Coaching —

Here’s the thing: website design time is the perfect moment to step back and look at your business systems holistically. It’s like hitting pause on the chaos to ask, ‘Are these systems serving me and my mission—or just stressing me out?’

A beautiful new website is aces, but one backed by systems that slay? That’s paradigm-shifting. Operations coaching helps you create workflows that not only support your growth but make your business and life more joyful, more pleasure-soaked, and way less stressful.

For the Visionaries, Dreamers & Ruckus Makers

You’re a creative with a mission that matters—part visionary, part wizard, all heart. You’re here to share your gifts, serve your community, and create ripples of positive change that turn into tidal waves.

But your website? Oh, sweet summer child, it’s not just a digital business card.

It’s the golden bridge between your vision and the world—a neon sign in the fog, a love letter to your dream clients, a unapologetic mic drop after a bold declaration.

Let’s make sure it’s sharp, beautiful, and unmistakable. Because the world doesn’t need another cookie-cutter site—

the world needs your light.

I feel like a whole different person.

Not only was she knowledgeable in running a business and working with finances, but she was patient and cared not only about my business, but for me as a person. Her services also allowed me to have less stress at home, and felt more security in my financial situation.

Real confidence in our direction.

Kate is an absolute joy to work with. She’s been instrumental in helping me elevate my company to new heights—something I never could have done alone. Her positive, can-do attitude, paired with her incredible skill set, makes collaboration effortless and gives me real confidence in our direction.

Meet Kate

A woman with glasses and a high bun hairstyle standing against a light green wooden wall. She is wearing a long brown coat, a white shirt, rolled-up blue jeans, white socks, and beige wedge shoes. She is smiling and looking downward, with her hands in her coat pockets. There is a flower bed with white flowers and greenery at her feet, and the ground is covered with small rocks.

I’m founder of Azure Vault Studios—a space where digital storytelling meets transformation, like if The Labyrinth had a baby with Queer Eye.

Drawing on 15 years as the CEO of my jewelry brands Wovekind and Crown Nine, I’ve learned one thing: every person has a unique light waiting to shine. (Yes, even you. Especially you.)

My superpower? Seeing that light, even when it’s buried under a pile of self-doubt or bad stock photos, and turning it into a digital presence that feels as authentic and powerful as a Prince guitar solo.

Just as alchemists transform lead into gold, I help you step into your brilliance and create a website that’s not just a site—it’s a vibe. Because the world doesn’t need more boring beige brands. It needs you, in all your weird, wonderful glory.
