Story driven branding + web design
— we design flawless client experiences through easy-to-use websit

08/06/2026

One of my favourite parts of client work is what happens after the deliverables are delivered.

The best brands are always evolving, and I love getting to evolve alongside them.

Nicole Mann has never just been about jewellery. It’s vintage market mornings where followers are claiming pieces before they even reach the website. Travel woven naturally into the story. A newly launched Substack. The reality of running a business while raising three kids (including twins). The occasional tech support call from my hotel room while I was away at a cheer competition.

I’ve even had the chance to meet Nicole in person at Hosted by Kelly Gaudreau, where we somehow ended up talking about summer camp, blogging, and what it’s like to be thoroughly outnumbered by children (Nicole also has twins + one more)

Some clients hire me for a website. Others become the people I get to keep creating with as their business grows.

Those are the relationships I’ll never stop being grateful for.

Nicole and I met through Kelly of HOSTED by Kelly Gaudreau

I was immediately drawn to her writing - it reminded me of the blogging days in the very best way. Honest, funny, and unmistakably her.

What started with a few newsletters quickly grew into so much more.

Since then, I’ve had the chance to redesign Nicole Mann ‘s Shopify website, write emails, design print assets, and help shape an online experience that finally felt as thoughtful and distinctive as the jewellery itself.

The thing I love most about Garland Collection isn’t just the pieces (although they’re stunning). It’s the personality behind them. Nicole shares vintage market mornings where followers are claiming finds before they even hit the website, travels that naturally become part of the brand story, and the beautifully messy reality of building a business while raising three kids.

Those are the brands I love creating for.

One of my favourite projects from the year so far - and we’re not quite finished sharing it yet.

The interior design website is up next.

If you’re looking for timeless pieces for your home, take a peek at www.lcdesigncoshoppe.com (or stop by the shoppe in person if you’re in Sudbury).

One of my favourite parts of this work is how many different worlds I get to step into.

One day it’s a film and television company. The next it’s an MBA admissions strategist. Then an app designed to help people support a friend through life’s hardest moments.
I love the variety.

But every now and then an interior brand lands in my inbox, and it feels different.

Before Ash Izsak Studio, before websites and brand strategy, there was a girl spending far too much time reading design blogs and rearranging furniture in her head. More than sixteen years ago, I quietly hoped I’d find a way to build a career around beautiful homes.

I did. Just not in the way I expected.

Somewhere along the way, I realized what I loved wasn’t designing the rooms themselves… it was designing the brands behind them.
So every time an interior designer or home brand reaches out, it feels a little indulgent. Like getting to revisit where all of this started.

Welcome to the new ecommerce shop for LC Design Co. Shoppe

From the visual identity to the website copy, every detail was designed to reflect the way Lisa and Carissa approach their work: thoughtful, timeless, and deeply personal.

Together, we created an online shop that supports the next chapter of the business while staying true to the brand they’ve built over the years.

I know I’m not supposed to have favourites… but working with Karen Hamou was up there. Karen works with high-potential MBA and graduate applicants around the world to help them secure admission to the most selective programs - and the level she operates at is exactly what her brand needed to reflect.

Direct. Meticulous. Strategic in the way that actually moves outcomes.

Her story is what makes it:
Growing up in Miami, she was told applying early decision to Columbia “wasn’t realistic.”
So she did it anyway. And got in.

That perspective now shapes how she works with every client - no templates, no one-size-fits-all, just sharp strategy, real reflection, and ex*****on that opens doors.

Bringing that into her brand and building a digital presence that matches the caliber of her work was such a good challenge.

You can find her at karenhamou.com and a big thank you to for connecting us!
