About Me / My Brand
I’m a professional writer and creative who runs a business hosting writers’ retreats in my eclectic Airbnb in a beautiful, remote area in the Endless Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. These retreats are focused on helping writers embrace and articulate their personal narrative. My work blends artistry, depth, and warmth — and my website needs to reflect that voice.

I already have a site and basic layout in place, but it feels flat and unfinished. I need someone who understands creative brands, storytelling, and clean, elegant design — not corporate or templated.

What I Need Help With

This is not a full rebuild, but a creative cleanup and polish:
• Clean up and refine the existing layout
• Improve visual flow, spacing, typography, and hierarchy
• “Jazz up” the site so it reflects a writerly, artistic, soulful aesthetic
• Insert and organize existing information (about retreats, offerings, etc.)
• Help clarify navigation and page structure
• Ensure mobile responsiveness looks polished
• Light brand guidance (fonts/colors/visual consistency — not a full rebrand)

I want the site to feel:
• Thoughtful
• Inviting
• Creative
• Professional but not corporate
• Rooted in story and personal voice

Deliverables
• Polished homepage
• Cleaned-up core pages (About / Retreats / Work With Me / Contact — exact pages TBD)
• Visual and structural consistency across the site
• Site ready to go live. I have a domain, just need to launch asap

What I’m Looking For in a Designer
• Strong Squarespace experience
• Experience with writers, creatives, coaches, or retreat brands

• Fast, responsive communication
