MODERN DESIGN FOR EMPOWERED BRANDS

Most of all, you need a trusted partner to take what’s in your head and transform it into a website that pulls its weight, a bomb place to live online that communicates everything you’re capable of.

At Refined Studios, we create sophisticated, editorial-inspired websites for new and established business owners. Through our Refined Website Experience, you’ll come away with a unique, experiential digital presence.

In other words, you’re in the right place if you’re ready to show up as you and crush it online.

And guess what? You deserve a hands-on experience that empowers you, gives you clarity, and offers a unique digital presence you can use to grow your brand. 

You’re seeking a designer with a modern, editorial, elevated vibe, someone who gets your vision and knows how to make it happen. 

I build websites aligned with what you stand for because we all deserve the freedom of entrepreneurship, the empowerment in building something that's yours, and the ease that comes with knowing you are capable of all those incredible dreams you have. 

hi, i'm emily

Twelve years ago, I designed my first website. (Anyone else remember all those hours spent scrolling through Tumblr for inspo? Same.) But it wasn’t until 2017 that I made the jump to freelancing, and, later, to owning a business. 

Early mornings, late nights, thousands of cups of coffee in a calendar year (me in 2020), more than three hundred hours on Zoom calls, and all day long designing. Entrepreneurship is no easy walk, but it’s 100% worth it for the empowerment, freedom, and confidence that comes with running your own business, your way. It’s fun. It’s scary. It’s exciting. You wouldn’t have it any other way, am I right? 

If that’s you too, then we’re design soulmates. 

As a designer, I’m typography OBSESSED

(SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SPEND ALL DAY TELLING YOU WHY SANS SERIF FONTS ARE HAVING A MOMENT RIGHT NOW?!)

I have HUNDREDS OF fonts installed on my computer – it's an addiction i'm proud of.

I draw typography inspiration from magazines first because around here, we love editorial vibes.

Selecting typefaces is  one of my first steps in the creative process, esp. for branding clients!



entrepreneurship equals empowerment and clarity equals confidence. 

i believe that

At Refined Studios, I’m here to help service providers, creatives, e-commerce brands, and business owners experience freedom, stability, and joy through a modern and refined online presence.

WHY REFINED?

I believe websites should be sophisticated but with personality, expert but totally fun, confident and awesome in every way. Refined Studios embodies that with typography inspired, editorial at heart design.
