MEET YOUR SQUARESPACE DESIGNER AND PROFESSIONAL FIGURE-OUTER

Hi, I’m Tina.
I figure things out.

Squarespace designer who loves the research part way more than is probably normal. Hot pink loyalist. Mom of four. Former medical practice manager.

THE LONG WAY AROUND

I didn’t start in design.
That’s my secret weapon.

I’m good at making sense of complicated things.

Before I designed websites, I managed people, processes, billing, and about a hundred moving parts at once. I’ve spent years as a medical practice manager, where “just figure it out” might as well have been in my job description.

That experience shapes how I work now. When you come to me with three offers, twelve ideas, and a website you’re tired of explaining, I don’t expect you to have it all neatly packaged. We’ll sort out what matters, find the thread, and build from there.

And yes, I care how it looks. I also care whether people can find it, understand it, and know what to do next.

I believe in starting before everything feels perfectly figured out.

In 2024, I had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection—a type of heart attack I never saw coming. It changed how I think about time and what deserves my energy.

I’m still a planner. I still ask a lot of questions. But I’m less interested in waiting for the mythical perfect moment.

Close to my heart

Good work goes beyond a good website.

CASA, Friendship Home Lincoln, and the Honesty Project are three organizations whose work means a lot to me. Each, in its own way, helps people feel safer, supported, and seen.

I’m grateful for the people doing that work in our community—and glad to use my skills where I can help.

Beyond the browser tabs

I have four adult kids, a polydactyl cat named Tootsie who considers herself management, and a bike that helps me think. Give me a good book, live music, red wine, or a conversation that skips the small talk, and I’m happy.

Fun Facts

→ I like my coffee strong (think jet fuel), my wine red and my peace protected.

→ I have four adult kids, which means I’ve already survived chaos, negotiation, and explaining things that should be obvious. Business ownership felt, well…..familiar.

→ I’m a cyclist—not the Lycra-at-all-costs kind, but the “this clears my head and solves 90% of my problems” kind. Therapy, but with wheels.

→ I read a lot. If a book makes me think differently about my life or the world, I’m in.

→ I like conversations that go a layer deeper than small talk and people who are honest enough to say “this isn’t working anymore.”

the real stuff

I’ve been through some hard things. So I get it.

I raised four kids mostly on my own, and life hasn't always been easy. So when you tell me your business feels like too much, I believe you. And I know we’ll figure it out anyway.

CLOSE TO MY HEART

I believe in giving back.

Just a few of the nonprofits I whole-heartedly support.

KIND WORDS

"From start to finish, Tina brought organization to my spinning thoughts and ideas regarding my website. She was patient, thorough and efficient throughout the whole process, addressed and added many things that I never even would have thought of and helped me bring my website vision to life. She takes direction extremely well and you can tell that she genuinely cares about the finished product. I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Tina!"

over to you

Enough about me.
Tell me where you’re stuck & what' lights you up.

You don’t need to arrive with a polished plan—that’s part of what we can work through together.
