  • On the surface my company is a Design Studio. But what we really do is we see our clients as the individuals that they are, with their own specific needs, desires, and goals (and their own color palette *wink, wink*). We help them to UpLevel their business and brand in a way that is as unique as they are, and that brings confidence and clarity to their business as a whole. We work closely with each client in a high-touch environment. We believe that by nurturing these relationships, that we can push our clients out of their comfort zone to create the change they are looking to accomplish for their business, service, or brand. As an Explorer Archetype - I am always exploring unexpected and creative solutions within my daily life and work, and I bring all of these experiences to each of our clients. Sometimes they may need a little confidence booster to try something new...so we always infuse a little fun and personality to help guide the way. Depending on how we meet - some people may think that we are only print and brand designers, while others think of us as web designers...when in fact, we are really a Boutique Design Agency that can help you expand your brand across multiple platforms and with very customized solutions. We can help you attract bigger brands, build out custom digital products, design custom published products, and more. Our team is not only creative, but also strategic, personable, and dedicated. When a client REALLY sees the value that we bring to the table as a whole, the sky is the limit. We are always so grateful for all of the amazing business owners that we get to work with on a daily basis, and I, personally, am so thankful that I get to wake up every day and serve some of the best humans I have ever met. They each make us better at what we do and continue to challenge us to continue to think outside the box.
  • Teamwork (truly does) makes the dream work!⠀ ⠀ After many years of going it alone - I would have to say that starting my team was the best move ever! I am a huge introvert - I love being alone - and I think that is why I was so successful at being a freelancer. I got up every day, just like I was going to "work", I had my morning routines (even back when morning routines were not a big thing), I showered, got dressed, and went to my "office" aka, "the other room" and got to work. ⠀ ⠀ I did that for 12-13 years and I loved it. But something happened..........in 2013 I was diagnosed with MS...and while visions of living my life in a wheelchair flashed before my eyes and I wanted to curl up in a ball, it was around that same time, I decided that I wanted to be more than "just a freelancer". ⠀ ⠀ Now, don't get me wrong, I was making a very comfortable living as a freelancer. I had a steady stream of clients and projects, but I wanted more...and not necessarily more money - I wanted a bigger vision and a bigger purpose...⠀ ⠀ I did not jump right into a full-blown team...I started by branching out...going to events where I met a lot of other female business owners that were leading inspiring lives. I started to watch and learn about small businesses and their needs, and about what they needed most from a designer like myself. ⠀ ⠀ My sister, Sarah, was the one who helped me to get things in order. I like to have my creative freedom, but Sarah was able to reel me in, help me focus, and start to build systems and processes that would help the business grow to what it is today. ⠀ ⠀ Since then, we have added team members, and we continue to work with many talented contractors and freelancers when possible. I actually like being surrounded by a support system...I do not feel so alone since I have started to let more and more people into my little corner of the world...and I look forward to continuing to grow and evolve as a business owner, creative, and leader.

  • "The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." —Socrates I have had many catalyst moments throughout my career that have helped to define my business, but the biggest, and most transformative, was the following months after 9/11. Not only was I affected mentally and emotionally by those events, but they also brought a deep clarity to my life and purpose. There were a lot of changes happening where I was working at the time...and it was starting to affect my health. There came a day that took me to my limit and it was in that moment that I realized that I did not want this stress in my life anymore. I loved what I did for a living, but I did not want to feel the way I was feeling. I decided that if I wanted a change, that I had to be the one to make it. With the support of my husband, we made the decision for me to go out on my own - to find work, and to create something that would not only provide financial support, but also freedom, creativity, and fulfillment. Looking back, what was I thinking!?! I lived in NYC, I did not have a plan and I basically had to start from scratch! While that could have defeated me it only fueled the fire more. I looked for projects that were creative and interesting, and clients that inspired me and that I wanted to work with. Those have continued to be criteria that still drive my business to this day. Great projects and even greater clients! My business has had to be flexible over the last 17 years. There have been many other catalyst moments that brought about further clarity and change, but this was the one that pushed me into the world of self-employment, self-satisfaction, and has provided me with the continued desire to learn and grow. In looking back - the past 17 years in business have really set me, and my team, up to be resilient, resourceful, and forever grateful for the opportunities and relationships that we have cultivated and continue to grow.

  • It is with a very heavy heart that my family, along with the WSD Team, had to say "goodbye" to our ever faithful Chief Barking Officer, Abby Smith. 🐶🌈💔 😭 This was the most unexpected and heartbreaking experience that we have had to endure. We know that she is in a better place now, but her presence will be missed in more ways than one. A few things about our Abby: ⭐️ She has the softest ears and was the perfect Team Mascot ⭐️ She always greeted everyone with enthusiasm ⭐️ She never missed a meeting ⭐️ She always let us know when the mailman was near ⭐️ She never turned down a belly rub ⭐️ She always reminded us that daily naps are a good thing ⭐️ And she always stayed curious Today when Kathleen came into the office, I was startled because Abby would always provide a little warning that someone was coming. It made me realize even more that it will be a real adjustment without her here...but she will definitely always be in our hearts. 💕 Your WSD Teammates love and miss you Abby! 🐶🌈
