Squarespace website design for artists & creatives
Thoughtful Squarespace website design 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 process can feel overwhelming — too technical, too impersonal, or disconnected from the work itself. My approach offers an alternative: 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, set 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.

Our work together begins with an initial inquiry form. We’ll schedule a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your project, review the Core Package, and explore any relevant add-ons.

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.
