“Maggie is a delight with whom to work and collaborate. She really listened to me, and to my experience. She was validating and receptive, while also providing valuable feedback and guidance. The end result is a website I am proud of, that reflects who I am.”

Hi, I’m Maggie
I craft delightful and user-friendly websites that empower small businesses and self-employed individuals to thrive in the digital landscape.
I’ve designed all kinds of websites — from therapists to interior designers, consultants to dance studios. As a former social worker and User-Experience (UX) designer, I find joy in supporting my clients through the journey of bringing their business, and selves, online.
If you’re looking for a designer who will take the time to understand you and your business, and has the skills and expertise to bring it to life with a website that truly reflects you, let’s get in touch!
Why choose handmade?
and what’s a “handmade” website, anyway…
(not to brag, but…) I’m a web design expert.
With a degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Stanford University and 7 years working in the tech industry as a User-Experience (UX) designer, I have both the academic and firsthand knowledge of what really makes websites “user-friendly”. And when it comes to creating beautiful, eye-catching designs, I think my portfolio speaks for itself!
That said, I know the secret ingredient to a standout website is human connection.
I’ve been told my superpower is that I really listen to my clients. Having worked as a counselor, I have a knack for this. The result is a website that authentically reflects you and showcases what makes your business unique.
A handmade website is unique, thoughtfully designed, and pixel-perfect.
I may be a perfectionist, but when it comes to web design, that’s not a bad thing! I don’t settle for “good enough”; I want your website to be a standout. I sweat the small stuff – everything from creating a color palette to perfectly match your photography, to subtle animations and color gradients to make your site more dynamic.
As one client put it, “she consistently went above and beyond to deliver a product we’re incredibly proud of”.
“Maggie took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life... Not only is the site visually stunning, but it’s also user-friendly, functional, and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of both our team and our clients.”
- Monica Santana, Owner, Rhythm n’ Flo Dance Studio
Unsure if it’s worth the investment? You’re not alone!
Many of my clients were initially unsure if hiring a professional website designer would be worth it.
I could tell you that a professionally designed, user-friendly website with scalable components, accessible design, and search engine optimization will offer returns on your investment for years to come, but I’d rather you hear it from the business owners and self-employed individuals I’ve worked with.
What my clients have to say…

Her attention to detail is unmatched—every element of the website reflects our studio’s personality and mission perfectly. Maggie took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Not only is the site visually stunning, but it’s also user-friendly, functional, and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of both our team and our clients. Maggie’s diligence and work ethic really stood out. She was always available to answer questions, make adjustments, and offer insightful suggestions that elevated the project. Her creativity and problem-solving skills ensured a seamless process, and she consistently went above and beyond to deliver a product we’re incredibly proud of. On top of her technical expertise, Maggie is incredibly easy to work with—kind, approachable, and truly invested in her clients’ success. I felt confident and supported throughout the entire process, and the final result speaks for itself.
