Website design for artists & creatives
Thoughtful Squarespace websites for artists, studios, talent agencies, and cultural organizations — crafted to captivate, optimized to connect, and designed to evolve with your creative journey.
A website that reflects your artistic vision
Your website is an extension of your artistic identity — a space to express your work with clarity, share your story, and connect with the people it’s meant to reach. Whether you're an independent artist, a creative studio, or a cultural organization, your online presence can amplify your impact and open doors to new opportunities.
For many artists, the website process can feel overwhelming — too technical, too impersonal, or disconnected from the work itself. My approach offers an alternative: a process that is calm, collaborative, and guided by your creative rhythm — designed to bring ease, clarity, and lasting resonance.
As a Squarespace expert specializing in websites for artists and cultural professionals, I translate your vision into a site that reflects your voice and builds connection — with thoughtful structure, creative care, and visibility that supports your growth.
FROM ONE ARTIST TO ANOTHER
Squarespace Web designer for creatives
With over 20 years immersed in the arts — from photography and acting to storytelling, design, and cultural production — I bring a unique perspective and a deep appreciation for the nuances of creative expression. My approach is global, intuitive, and shaped by the rhythm of your work. Every artist and project I support is different, which is why my process is collaborative, nuanced, and grounded in respect for your vision.
As a Squarespace web designer for creatives I design custom Squarespace websites for artists, creatives, and cultural professionals — from independent makers and academics to talent agencies, studios, and organizations working at the intersection of art, culture, and communication. Each site blends visual clarity with emotional depth, and is crafted to reflect your artistry, purpose, and voice.

Yes, and I think more than ever. Social media is fantastic for visibility, but it doesn’t replace the professionalism or control a website provides. A website serves as your permanent home online, free from algorithm changes or distractions. Whether you’re an artist looking to showcase your work or a gallery needing a sleek platform to attract clients, a website is key to building long-term connections.
