About Theresa!
Squarespace Web Designer
Welcome to my studio and now a little about me…
Hey There!
I specialize in creating beautiful websites for entrepreneurs who need to concentrate on their own work and leave the tech and design side of their businesses to me.
I’ll treat your website as my own and help you through every step so you come away from the experience with more confidence and clarity on your brand. Working from my home studio in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I offer Squarespace Web Design to small business owners ready for a new website and eager to break free from technology overwhelm.
What Makes Me Different From Other Web Designers?
Tech Nerd.
In my early days, I stayed up all hours of the night learning how to code websites on Wordpress. Believe me, I know what it’s like to struggle to design your own website-- and that’s coming from someone with an IT background! My ah-ha moment came when I realized there are other business owners struggling to figure out all the tech surrounding their website design.
Flexible.
I’m here to offer exceptional follow-up care. So if you need a quick change, I can add it to your site for no additional charge. For more complex updates, I have an accessible hourly rate that makes it easy to keep your site current without the tech headaches.
Persistent.
I'm incredibly persistent - if you need your Squarespace or Showit website to function in a particular way, I will keep going until I find a way to make that happen.
Understanding.
No tech question is too small or too silly for me. I’ll hold your hand through every step of the decision making process and make sure your website works exactly the way you need it to. Together, we’ll address challenges in a way that makes you feel that you’re always in safe hands. I’m happy to listen to every last one of your challenges and help you craft a digital presence that truly demonstrates who you are as a professional.
I created this business for you!
Because you shouldn’t have to struggle to create a beautiful, intentional website for your business.

Can’t start my day without my coffee!
Fun Facts
My parents brought me to the US from Africa for a higher education when I was 16 years old. After three short days together, they left to return home and I was completely on my own, in a new country, on a different continent and in a very different culture. The familiar world as I knew it for the last 16 years of my life had completely changed! How was I going to make it?
I spent the first year having to figure absolutely everything out for myself. What I learned was that I'm a fighter - you can put me in any situation and I'll be able to pull myself out of it. I learned that it's always possible to find a way to survive, even if the odds are stacked against you.
What I've carried over from this life-changing experience is how I run my business. I know that understanding and relationships are key to a successful partnership.
In my corporate life, I have over 10 years of professional experience in consulting and training in the Pharmaceutical industry. I enjoy helping people take projects from start to finish and love helping you grow your business through intentional web design.

What You Can Expect
When we work together, you can expect a personal, one-on-one approach that allows me to understand your needs. I’ll stick to a specific timeframe that helps us both stay right on track.
You can have faith that I will be your one point of contact during our whole design process. I won't hand you off to an assistant and promise to take care of every last detail personally.
