If you’re continually attracting the wrong-fit clients or competing on price, your potential clients might not understand why they need you. An intuitive, user-friendly website that instills trust is your ticket to creating authentic connections and running your business with ease.

Where Creativity Takes Root

The birch & bud Difference

Tailored, not Templated

Your brand isn’t boring, so you’ll benefit from intentional custom code for creative design elements that engage your website visitors & keep you memorable.

As a certified Standout Squarespace designer and a proud member of Squarespace Circle, functionality, accessibility and aesthetics are a priority.

A One Client Experience

Think high touch, approachable and one-on-one when we collaborate.

As a small studio, I work with only one client at a time ensuring you get efficient, undivided attention and a truly personalized experience. It’s like having a dedicated creative partner, without a stuffy agency feel.

Personalized Pricing Plans

Whether you’re just starting on a new business budget or reimagining your future growth, choose from tiered offers and custom solutions that fit where you are in your journey.

You get everything you need and nothing you don’t.

‘her process was nothing but seamless’

I stumbled upon [Lara] on a Google deep dive and fell head over heels. Our process together was nothing but seamless and divine, she delivered an absolute masterpiece! I’m so thankful and impressed with how fun, talented, warm, and how much of an absolute rockstar Lara is. She made my web design dreams come true and I could not be more thrilled with the results.

She was very thorough in the design process, especially in picking up details, and great response time and explanations to the many questions I had!!

I am absolutely thrilled with the final product, it has driven a considerable amount of new clients in and loved the tutorial videos for after!

the faq

You might be wondering…

btw, it’s actually about connection, aka the vibe

I adore working with modern travel, wellness and hospitality brands but a great fit is more about who you are than what you do. Think we’re a match?

 

I’ve collaborated with passionate solopreneurs and small businesses across various industries to solidify their industry expertise, enhance brand awareness, and stand out in the noise with a professional website they're proud to share.
