Empowering artistic visions that forge connections
Your website is more than a digital space — it’s a platform for your vision, a reflection of your work, and a way to connect with those it’s meant to reach. Whether you're an independent artist, a creative studio, or a cultural organization, a strong online presence amplifies your impact — bridging your work with the communities that engage with it.
Still, for many artists and creative teams, building a website can feel overwhelming — too technical, too impersonal, or lacking the foundation needed for long-term success. My approach offers an alternative: calm, collaborative, and shaped to support your creative rhythm.
As a Squarespace expert specializing in website design for artists and cultural professionals, I translate your unique vision into a site that resonates with your audience, builds trust, and fosters meaningful connection — all while remaining easy to manage and built to evolve.

“I definitely recommend the services of Audrey, she is very knowledgeable and fun to work with. We had a short session together to discuss certain functionality of my site and introduce me to SEO. She is a great ally of artist and creative people.”

“One of the most unique things about Audrey as a web designer is the way that she blends both her artistic and aesthetic talents (which are considerable) along with her intuitive ability to truly listen to a client's vision, and bring it to life in a carefully structured process of research and dialogue.”

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.
