A photo of Katelyn with long wavy auburn hair wearing a tan coat, plaid scarf, and maroon sweater, smiling outdoors in an autumn setting with fallen leaves and trees with yellow, orange, and red leaves.

Hi, I’m Katelyn!

I love coffee, cursing & carefully made plans (J/K –mostly 😂). I'm a Squarespace Web Designer & Educator thriving on teaching others how to finally 'launch the damn thing' –and have fun in the process!

Why? I’ve been a designer by trade since 2006, started a side-hustle in 2015, left corporate in 2020 & never looked back! I’ve learned a lot over all these years, so this blog is my brain-dumping ground. Enjoy!
