I’m Ann, and I love taking these digital tasks off your plate so you can focus on what you do best - writing, teaching, advising, consulting, and speaking. Because I always need more books to read and podcasts to binge!
I’ve never written a novel, edited a manuscript, or produced a podcast. Instead, I have built websites and digital strategies.Besides being a writer, designer, and entrepreneur, I’m a lawyer and a former management consultant (focused on tech strategy).
Over a decade of corporate experience has taught me that the best results happen when design is married to an effective and evolving data-backed strategy. There is no one-and-done website here; only websites that are updated monthly and tied to evolving digital strategies to connect with your audience.
Work with me if you want a data and process-oriented approach to growing your digital business.
Let's get to know each other! Tell me about your favorite book or podcast, a thought-provoking article, or a system or process that has made your life happier or more efficient. Design Intensives may be right for you if:
-
You’ve done almost everything yourself, but there are a few things you need an expert to help with — outsourcing this work is a better use of your time and skills. For example, maybe you need assistance installing a newsletter sign-up or a particular plugin on your website.
-
You understand the importance of SEO and would like someone to review your SEO and implement updates and changes (such as renaming files for better SEO).
-
You’ve designed and written all your marketing materials. You could use a fresh pair of skilled eyes to touch up your materials
A Design Intensive is not right for you if:
-
You’re done with DIY - you hate tech and don’t even like what you’ve put together. Now is an excellent time to contact us for our custom services.
-
You’ve got this. Your digital strategy and software run smoothly.
-
Not only do you have a great strategy in place, but you also have plenty of technical know-how to execute.
-
You figured out SEO long ago, and it’s working well for you.
-
Professionals have already given you feedback on your digital strategy - websites, newsletters, and social media.
