Squarespace website design for artists & creatives
Thoughtful Squarespace website design for artists, studios, talent agencies, and cultural organizations — crafted with intention, optimized for clarity, and designed to evolve with your creative journey.
A website that reflects your artistic vision
Squarespace websites for artists & cultural projects
Your website is an extension of your artistic identity — a space to present your work with clarity, share your story, and connect with the people it’s meant to reach. When thoughtfully designed, it supports visibility, new opportunities, and meaningful engagement around your work.
For many artists, the process can feel overwhelming — too technical, impersonal, or disconnected from the work itself. My approach offers an alternative: calm, collaborative, and grounded in your creative rhythm. I combine artistic direction, clear structure, and technical clarity to create sites that feel aligned, spacious, and intuitive to manage over time.
From focused portfolio sites to expansive, content‑rich platforms, I design custom Squarespace websites for artists, creatives, and cultural organizations, shaped around their work, their audiences, and what feels most authentic to their practice.
FROM ONE ARTIST TO ANOTHER
Squarespace Web designer for creatives
While many Squarespace web designers work with artists, my background in the arts shapes every project, bringing a shared language and understanding to each collaboration.
With over 20 years immersed in the arts — from photography and acting to cultural production — I bring a multidisciplinary perspective and a deep appreciation for the nuances of creative expression. My approach is global, intuitive, and responsive to the rhythm of your work.
Every artist and project I support is different, which is why each website is shaped with care — always grounded in respect for your vision.

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.
