Belle Creative

Studio Belle is officially live, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, make sure you 1. see my last post and 2. go and see my (partial) new website !! 👩🏼‍💻

I want to tell you a little more about how this all came about, so here it goes:

I spent a long time trying to be everything to everyone because I thought that’s what a ‘successful’ studio looked like. You pick a name that covers every base, you keep the design ‘safe’, and you stay small enough so you don’t have to make a choice. But the truth is, I was outgrowing Belle Creative before I even realized it.

I’m a web designer who cares deeply about the strategy behind how you sell. And I finally realized that my own brand wasn’t making the case for me anymore, it was just something I was working around.

So, Studio Belle is here. It’s more focused, a lot more considered, and it finally reflects who I am and where I’m headed 😃🤎

Have you ever felt like you’re playing small just because your current branding is stuck in the year you started? I’d love to hear if this resonates with you!

I kept most of these going wayyyyy longer than I should have before I realised I was doing them simply because they felt like the nice thing to do.

Absorbing delays that weren’t my fault so clients didn’t feel bad about it.
Staying quiet instead of flagging something that wasn’t working.
Undercharging for people I liked because I definitely wanted to work with them again.

They all came from the same instinct: just keep things smooth and keep clients happy.

But friction-avoidance isn’t the same as client care.

I finally realised that clients don’t pay me to agree with them, they pay me to know what will actually work for their business.
