✨ Time for another Client Website Showcase! ✨

I’m so excited to share one of my newest launches, The Crow and Cat Bookshoppe 🐦‍⬛🐈📚

The Crow and Cat Bookshoppe is an indie pop-up bookshop traveling through the hollers and hills of central and southeastern Kentucky. Rooted in the Appalachian foothills and inspired by the legacy of the pack mule librarians, the shop brings stories, knowledge, and community directly to the places that need them most.

I had the pleasure of designing and launching the shop’s very first website in collaboration with owner Samantha (and her feline assistant!). The site balances simplicity with whimsy, featuring playful colors and patterns, a charming clip-art cameo of Crow and Cat (I also had the honor of designing their logo 🖤), and a streamlined online shop that allows customers to purchase books for delivery or free local pickup.

The final result is a simple, engaging website that supports both online sales and local connection, giving The Crow and Cat Bookshoppe a digital home that can grow alongside the business!

Getting to support passionate small businesses is the best part of what I do. I’m so proud of the heart behind The Crow and Cat and grateful to play a small role in its journey.

✨ It’s time (and we’re actually overdue) for another client website showcase! ✨

This time, I’m so excited to feature Kira Wilson Art. 🦋🌲

Based in the hills of Irvine, Kentucky, Kira Wilson brings local folklore to life through her whimsical, handcrafted creations, especially her signature Mothmen. And they are the COOLEST pieces ever!

When it came time for a website revamp, Kira reached out looking for a space that could truly capture the charm, magic, and individuality of her art. The result is a woodsy, nature-inspired website that pays homage to the Appalachian forests her cryptids call home.

Visitors can now easily explore her creations, learn more about her artistic journey, and shop directly from the site, bringing a little Mothman mischief into their own homes. I absolutely loved bringing this vision to life, and can’t wait to work with Kira on more projects in the future! 🖤✨

🌟 Hi friends, me again! I’ve been busy these past few months collaborating with some amazing local businesses, and now I’m opening up space for new projects in October (can't believe spooky season is already here!).

Here’s what I offer through LightBloom Designs:
✨ Custom website + brand design
✨ Graphic design for businesses, creatives, and events
✨ Copywriting + social media support (waitlist only right now!)

My process is collaborative from start to finish. I’ll work closely with you from concept to launch, making sure every detail reflects your vision. Revisions are included; I want your project to look exactly how you imagined, and then some.

Time for another client website showcase! ✨ This time, I'm featuring Ohh, Chai. ☕

Ohh, Chai! started as a heartfelt tradition between a mother and son—brewing a cozy, homemade recipe on chilly days to share warmth and joy. Crafted with real tea, hand-selected spices, and carefully balanced flavors, each cup offers a rich, aromatic experience designed to help you slow down and savor life’s little moments.

As demand for their delicious blends began to grow, Ohh, Chai! turned to me to bring their vision online. The result is a clean, user-friendly e-commerce site that makes it easy for customers to order their favorite flavors from the comfort of home.

Simple, sweet, and full of warmth—just like the chai itself. I LOVE how this one turned out! So cute.

It's time for another client website showcase! 🌟 This time, I'm featuring one of the projects I'm most proud of to date.

This is Millstone Social. ✨🍴

Located on historic Main Street in Richmond, Kentucky, Millstone Social opened its doors in July 2024 with a simple mission: to offer a little something for everyone. Part elevated sports bar, part cocktail lounge, and part event space, Millstone Social brings a fresh vibe to Richmond, blending local flavor, relaxed sophistication, and genuine hospitality.

I was so happy to have the opportunity to give Millstone Social the elegant, upscale and modern website that they needed to showcase their delicious menu, unique entertainment options and more! With plenty of mouthwatering photos, eyecatching videos, and contact details, this website makes it easier than ever to check out everything this local restaurant has to offer, all in one place.
