Hey darling, take a gander.

Jaime Eliza | see live site→

For photographer Jaime Eliza, we embarked on a complete brand transformation that honored her gifts as a gentle witness to feminine beauty and power. Through deep brand distillation, we uncovered how her Lover/Caregiver archetype translates into visual storytelling that makes women feel seen, celebrated, and sovereignly beautiful.

Our approach wove together her artistic vision with strategic business foundation—creating a brand book that captures her essence as the gentle witness, curating photography that showcases her range from intimate fine art nudes to tender motherhood portraits to compelling brand imagery. The website we designed feels like a sacred gallery where women can envision themselves being held and honored through her lens.

Every element, from identity to user experience, was crafted to attract the women and brands who understand that being photographed by Jaime isn't just getting pictures—it's an act of creative collaboration and self-reclamation.

Coby Leibman Somatic Healing | see live site→

For somatic healer Coby Leibman, we transformed years of multifaceted training into one coherent healing story. Through brand distillation, we wove together his diverse modalities—from ancestral healing to community wellness—into a unified practice that honors the truth he'd discovered: healing happens in relationship to our bodies, communities, ancestors, and the living world.

Our approach honored his multidimensional gifts while creating clarity for clients seeking more than single-modality solutions. The result? A brand strategy and visual identity that positions him as the practitioner who understands that your healing gets to be as multifaceted as you are.

Matt McDavid Audio | see live site→

For audio engineer Matt McDavid, we created a portfolio site that lets his work speak volumes. Our approach centered on an interactive listening experience, showcasing his reel in a dynamic, engaging format that invites visitors to explore. To build trust and craft authenticity, we incorporated vintage textures and photo treatments throughout the design—visual choices that evoke the warmth and reliability of a classic tube amplifier.

“Working with Kate was a dream. I had full trust in her ability and creative vision. Usually design work is stressful, but she took my idea and crafted the perfect site. 10/10”

wovekind

wovekind began with a vision: to transform jewelry from mere object to sacred ceremony. As a jeweler, I witnessed the magic people sought—often unconsciously—in their search for personal adornment. wovekind emerged as a conceptual journey, guiding people toward this profound truth. Every piece we created was designed not simply to be worn, but to be experienced—each one an heirloom carrying meaning, each interaction a ritual connecting past to future.

crown nine

Crown Nine emerged as debut jewelry brand from the alchemical lab—a place where approachability melded with eternal craft. Built on pillars of joyful creation and holistic integrity, each piece invited wearers into a world of warm, earthy embrace.

The visual language of the brand was born through a divine collaboration, with brand identity and art direction conjured by Hollyoak House, while photographers Hannah Thornhill and Madeline Farrin captured the essence. Freestate did web development.

Here, fine jewelry shed its intimidation to become accessible treasure, grounded in both earth, artistry, and story.

Play It Forward | see it live →

I partnered with Play It Forward to transform their digital presence into a platform as impactful as their mission. The nonprofit's previous site suffered from clunky navigation, grainy visuals, and accessibility issues that hindered both client services and donor engagement.

The comprehensive redesign delivered a streamlined user experience with intuitive pathways for the organization's two critical audiences. For clients seeking services, we created clear, accessible navigation. For potential donors, we developed compelling storytelling elements that showcase the organization's impact.

“Kate used her singular gift of capturing the essence of client's organizations, businesses, or creative offering and translating it into a cohesive and captivating website. She knows exactly what to ask and what to intuit to fill in the blanks and create a site that tells a compelling story that draws clients, supporters, and fans in. So easy to work with, and leaves you with an end product that invigorates your mission!

Drawing from years of intimate knowledge serving the modern wedding market as a jeweler, I created this Squarespace template for photographers who capture elevated rustic celebrations.

The design balances sophistication with earthiness, creating a digital gallery where warm, authentic moments shine against clean, modern lines and tells a story of human connection, what niche clientele are actually seeking.

Every element was carefully composed to showcase the photographer's work while evoking the perfect balance of organic luxury.
