Brand designer and Squarespace website designer

Branding & website design that captures who you are and where your business is headed.

Because your business deserves (a lot) more than a Canva logo and a “this’ll do for now” design.

If you're launching your website or giving your brand a refresh, one thing remains true:
Your brand sets the tone.

It’s more than just your logo or colors — it’s how people decide to trust you, choose you, and work with you.

And right now, you might be… 

  • Embarrassed to share your website because it doesn’t represent who you are anymore.

  • Realizing your DIY logo isn’t helping you attract the clients or customers you truly want.

  • Overwhelmed as a business owner, unsure of where to even begin or what will provide ROI.

No matter where you are in your journey, partnering with a brand designer can bring needed clarity to your business.

Your brand should capture the heart, effort, and expertise you pour into your business every day.

Custom Branding and Full-Service Website Design

Created to match your current stage and future goals.

  • You’ve poured your heart into launching your dream business, but creating a brand and website on your own can feel overwhelming. Maybe you don’t have the time, tech skills, or creative know-how to make it all come together — and that’s okay.

    That’s where I come in. Let’s create a professional brand that gives your business the credibility it deserves, matches the passion you bring to your work, and sets you up to confidently grow.

  • Your business has grown, but your branding hasn’t kept up. It still feels like the early days and doesn’t reflect the level of expertise and professionalism you’ve achieved.

    That’s where I come in. We’ll create a polished, strategic brand and website that reflects your expertise, connects with the clients you want, and shows the world you’re ready for what’s next.

Hi, I’m Taryn

With over a decade of design experience and a background in marketing, I now specialize in Squarespace website design and custom branding for ambitious, growth-focused business owners.  

My designs are rooted in timeless details and thoughtful touches, inspired by a belief that your brand should feel just as relevant years from now as it does today. 

I’ve worked with entrepreneurs and businesses at all stages to create designs that grow with them. From helping new businesses establish a timeless, professional identity to working with established companies to stay competitive — I’ve seen how the right design and strategy can make all the difference at every stage.

No matter where you’re starting, my goal is simple: to create a brand and website that grows with your business and feels authentically you.

Who I’ve Worked With

  • “Not only did Taryn guide us through the rebrand process, she really “got” what we were trying to achieve and incorporated the sensitivity of our company mission and values into the design. We couldn’t be happier with our outcome of a bolder and more distinctive brand image.”

    RACHEL VANDENBERG
    Founder and President | Rheia Consulting, LLC

  • We were ready for a brand refresh after three years of serving clients and Taryn took my vision, listened, and created the most beautiful, on-brand logo, color palette and website for Millie. I can't wait to work with Taryn again and will continue referring her to my clients and connections.

  • “Taryn transformed my unorganized sketches into the perfect logo that captured our brand essence perfectly. She was great to partner with and her professionalism impressed the entire team.”

    JACOB HINTON
    Vice President | Carolina Veterans Alumni Network

  • “Taryn took the time to understand our business and helped shape our branding to better align with our long-term goals. Her creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none. I can't thank her enough for taking our business to new heights.”

    IAIN IRWIN
    Owner | Oak City Therapy

  • “Taryn created two websites and a full branding package for me, turning a recurring headache into something simple, stress-free, and amazing.”

Featured Projects

Branding

Rheia Consulting, LLC

  • Rachel came to me knowing her current branding didn’t reflect the professionalism or expertise her company had achieved in the infrastructure and transportation industry. Her logo had elements she liked but ultimately felt lackluster, and her branding didn’t match the high-level services Rheia Consulting provides.

    We worked together to create a polished, cohesive brand that aligns with her company’s mission and values. From a refreshed logo to a detailed brand guide, every element was thoughtfully designed to advance Rheia Consulting’s identity. The final design communicates credibility and professionalism while remaining competitive in their industry.

    Now, Rachel confidently represents Rheia Consulting at industry events, knowing her branding is polished and perfectly aligned with her company’s expertise and reputation.

Website Design

The Wander Collective


  • Jeminah’s original website for The Wander Collective struggled to showcase the luxurious and inviting experience of her vacation rental properties. The outdated design made it challenging to organize her offerings and attract potential guests.

    The new design transforms her online presence with a modern, user-friendly structure that highlights her properties with large, captivating imagery and thoughtful copy. Now, the overall design reflects the warmth and elegance her brand is known for.

    Now, Jeminah has a site that not only resonates with her target audience but also boosts bookings by creating a seamless and engaging experience for future guests.

Branding + Website Design

Millie: A Marketing & Social Agency

  • After three years in business, Millie’s branding no longer aligned with its goals. The previous light and feminine look felt misaligned with the agency’s growing audience and professional direction.

    Together, we created a refreshed brand that’s professional, modern, and perfectly aligned with where Millie is headed. A sleek new logo, updated color palette, and polished website design brought clarity and confidence to the agency’s visual identity.

    Jenn, Millie’s founder, shared her excitement:

    "I'm more confident and excited than ever for prospects to land on our website and see our logo in my signature. It truly encapsulates the feeling I want Millie to evoke whenever someone interacts with us—welcoming and warm yet professional, clean, and fresh."

    The result? A cohesive, forward-looking brand that helps Millie connect with a broader audience and support its ongoing growth.
