About Theresa!
Squarespace
Web Designer
Welcome to my studio and now a little about me…
Hey There!
I specialize in creating beautiful, functional websites for entrepreneurs, allowing them to focus on their core work while I handle the tech and design aspects. From my home studio in Ypsilanti, Michigan, I offer Squarespace web design services tailored to small business owners who are ready for a new website and eager to break free from technology overwhelm.
When you work with me, I’ll treat your website as if it were my own. I'll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you leave with increased confidence and a clearer understanding of your brand. Let’s build something amazing together!
What Makes Me Different From Other Web Designers?
Tech Nerd
In my early days, I spent countless nights learning to code websites on WordPress. Believe me, I understand the struggle of designing your own website—even with an IT background! My "ah-ha" moment came when I realized many business owners face similar challenges, grappling with the tech involved in website design. That's when I knew I could help others navigate this digital landscape.
Flexible
I’m committed to offering exceptional follow-up care. Need a quick change? I'll add it to your site at no additional charge. For more complex updates, I offer an accessible hourly rate, making it easy to keep your site current without the tech headaches.
Persistent
I'm incredibly persistent. If you need your Squarespace website to function in a particular way, I won't stop until I find a solution that works for you.
Understanding
No tech question is too small or too silly for me. I’ll guide you through every step of the decision-making process, ensuring your website works exactly the way you need it to. Together, we'll tackle challenges, so you always feel supported and understood. I'm here to listen to all your concerns and help you craft a digital presence that truly reflects who you are as a professional.

You shouldn't have to struggle to create a beautiful, intentional website for your business
Out Of Africa
When I was 16, my parents brought me to the US from Africa for a higher education. After just three short days together, they returned home, leaving me on my own in a new country, on a different continent, and in a vastly different culture. Everything I knew had changed. How was I going to make it?
During that first year, I had to figure out everything by myself. I discovered that I'm a fighter—you can put me in any situation, and I'll find a way to pull through. I learned that survival is always possible, even when the odds are stacked against you.
This life-changing experience shaped how I run my business today. I understand that relationships and understanding are key to successful partnerships.
In my corporate career, I have over 10 years of professional experience in consulting and training within the pharmaceutical industry. I enjoy guiding projects from start to finish and am passionate about helping you grow your business through intentional web design.
I love listening to Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday podcasts.
My top favorite books to read are Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, Becoming by Michelle Obama, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
