adjective
enthusiastic or passionate
ar·dent
/ˈärd(ə)nt/
I work with founders, creatives, and visionaries who value creativity, intentionality, and growth, translating their ideas into digital experiences that feel both strategic and deeply personal. My approach goes beyond aesthetics, blending thoughtful design, compelling storytelling, and user-focused strategy to ensure every website reflects the unique essence of the brand behind it. For entrepreneurs building something lasting, I create websites that not only look beautiful, but communicate purpose, build trust, and support the next chapter of their business.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY & I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE
As a web designer, I partner with entrepreneurs who understand that their website is more than a business necessity—it's an opportunity to create a meaningful connection with their audience.
After spending several years "behind the chair", I took a risk and spent some time away from the Salon and traveled to Vancouver Canada, Chicago, NYC and then to California where I have found HOME. Along the way I needed to figure out how to document my adventures...
Thankfully instagram was on the rise and it fueled a new passion -
iPhone videography!
I didn't leave the artistry behind in the salon, I just found a new digital canvas.
I've always been drawn to the intersection of creativity, connection, and storytelling. Long before I began designing websites, I spent a decade as a hairstylist, helping people express their individuality and confidence through personalized artistry. Day after day, I learned how to listen beyond words, uncover what made each person unique, and translate their vision into something tangible. More than anything, that experience taught me that meaningful design begins with understanding people—a philosophy that continues to guide my work today.
My ardent journey
@ardentjourney
These days, you'll often find me outdoors exploring California, Oregon, and Washington documenting my adventures along the way.
Whether it's a quiet trail, a mountain view, or an unexpected discovery, these experiences feed my curiosity and reminds me to see the world with fresh perspective.
My adventures inspire me to try new things, notice the details others might overlook, and appreciate that every story deserves to be told in its own unique way.
As a creative person, I find inspiration through painting, drawing, and collage, exploring the relationship between composition, color, balance, and emotion.
These creative practices have sharpened my eye for detail and strengthened my ability to create visuals that not only capture attention but communicate a story.
To me, great design isn't simply about aesthetics; it's about creating an experience that feels intentional, memorable, and aligned with the heart.
HELLO WEB DESIGN!
It's time to take my experience and build something timeless,
something that will help support my community.
Today, I bring these experiences together to serve modern entrepreneurs who are building brands with purpose. My background has given me a unique blend of artistic intuition, client-centered communication, and strategic thinking that extends far beyond web design alone.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I partner with visionaries, creators, and business owners to craft thoughtful digital experiences that reflect who they are, connect with the people they serve, and support the future they're building. Because the most impactful brands aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel genuine, intentional, and impossible to mistake for anyone else.
xox,
