  • our begining

    In 2017 we launched as a sister-duo team, offering just virtual assistant services. We started out small, building our VA business from the couch–which turned out to be exactly what we needed as we both started experiencing more severe and frequent chronic illness symptoms. As that began to change our lives outside of work, changes in our professional world began taking shape.

  • the in betweens

    Throughout everything we’ve done–social media, workbook creation, website help, blogging projects, newsletter series, course management and more–we’ve worked with Squarespace along the way, learning the basic building blocks and the strategy of the platform to help small business owners make the most of their digital home base.

  • hare brained design studio

    Building on that foundation, hare brained design studio was born out of a desire to help small business owners make the most of their Squarespace websites with strategic and creative use of custom CSS. Unique & functional websites don’t have to be out of reach!

“A seamless and genuinely thoughtful experience from beginning to end. The process felt clear, steady, and collaborative, with careful attention to both the vision and the finer details. It was especially meaningful to see—and truly feel—a visual expression of a business we care about so deeply. Ideas were met with insight and intention, resulting in a website that feels cohesive, intuitive, and aligned with the heart of the work. Grateful for the creativity, care, and support woven throughout every step of this process”

The Learning Loop

“I knew as an independent consultant that I should improve my web presence, but I never had the time, energy, or honestly desire to take on the project myself. I needed someone with the expertise and the enthusiasm to take my basic information surrounding my businesses and services and make it into an interactive, eye catching internet presence. You all made it so easy! You were willing to work with me and my schedule which was very useful as a busy sole proprietor. You had the vision I was lacking, and made a website better than I could have ever imagined!”
