REFINED STUDIOS

Editorial Design for Modern Brands Ready to Be Refined

Modern SHOWIT, SQUARESPACE, & SHOPIFY Websites for Service-Driven Brands &  E-commerce Businesses.

What if you could have a digital presence that felt completely aligned with your values, the quality of your work, and those big dreams you have to take your business to the next level?

That’s how you’d describe your dream website. But getting there by yourself has been nothing short of frustrating. Who has time to perfect lines of code or customize a brand to the letter?!




Editorial. Refined. Strategic. Polished. Engaging.

Right now, you’re moving in a new direction in life & business and what you need is a fellow creative and strategic partner to take your website from blah to bomb. 

As an experienced designer who knows the ins+outs of branding and websites, a project manager by day who’s a pro at managing timelines + processes, and an entrepreneur who, like you, balances all the things that come with working online, I’m the refined designer you’ve been seeking.


Let’s work towards something greater, together.

A one-of-a-kind website specifically designed to grow your business and attract more of your ideal customers

An optimized and compelling online presence that reflects the quality of excellence you provide through your products and services

SEE MY WORK IN ACTION

“I can’t recommend Emily enough! I am very particular in my vision and was not sure she would ‘get’ me. But through her process, she was able to bring to life a website that was everything I dreamed of and MORE! She was available every step of the way and made the process stress free and it all just flowed.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I pursue custom design?

If you’ve been in business for 3+ years, have an ecommerce business, or you know that your website has special technical needs, the Refined Website Experience is exactly what you need. With complete brand strategy exploration, audience targeting, and intensive website strategy, you come away not simply with a website but a refined online presence. Meanwhile, Website in a Week is for newer brands or businesses that need a simple website to get up + running, fast.

Why should I pursue custom design?

I work on Squarespace, Showit, and Shopify, so you can feel confident knowing that wherever you need your website to live online, I can build it! While Showit is best for its drag-and-drop capabilities and powerful customization options, Squarespace is user-friendly and equally straightforward. Shopify is ideal for product businesses and shops who need to sell items online.

Due to the high level of strategy that goes into every project, I only work with 1-2 clients at a time to ensure that we get everything just right.
