Branding & Website Designer for North Carolina Service-Based Businesses

CONFIDENTLY SHOW UP AS THE BRAND YOU’VE GROWN INTO

At some point, what you created at the beginning of your business stops feeling like you. The logo feels a little off. The website works, but you hesitate before sending people to it. You’ve grown, but your brand hasn’t quite caught up. I help women entrepreneurs refine and elevate their brand and website so everything feels aligned, professional, and easy to stand behind.

Based in North Carolina, serving clients in Mount Airy, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and nationwide.

Brand Identity Design

Your brand should feel like a natural extension of your business, not something you pieced together to get by.

I design thoughtful, cohesive brand identities that reflect your work at its current level and give you a clear, consistent foundation moving forward. From logos and color to typography and overall direction, every piece is created to feel intentional and easy to use.

Website Design

A website should feel like something you’re proud to send people to, not something you quietly hope they don’t look at too closely.

I design custom Showit and Squarespace websites that are clear, easy to navigate, and built to support your business. The goal is a site that not only looks elevated, but helps people understand what you do and take the next step.

Graphic Design

Once your brand is established, consistency becomes everything.

I offer ongoing design support for social media, email, and marketing materials so your brand continues to feel cohesive and recognizable wherever it shows up.

Courtney Slate

As a designer, business owner, and mom, I understand how much your business holds.

Time is limited, and when something in your brand feels off, you feel it every time you show up. Whether that’s sending your website, posting online, or sharing your work.

With over a decade of experience, I focus on creating brands that feel aligned and easy to step into. The kind of work that makes you feel confident sharing what you’ve built, because it finally reflects it.

When your brand feels right, everything else gets easier.
