Overview
Hey there! I'm Jaz, a digital designer, photographer, and code nerd with a penchant for all things creative. With over a decade of industry experience and more than 200 Squarespace websites under my belt, I’ve honed my craft to deliver unique, functional, and visually stunning websites. My journey began with a graphic design diploma and led me through various roles in branding agencies and in-house teams, ultimately finding my niche in Squarespace. I'm passionate about crafting digital experiences that tell your brand’s story, captivate users, and drive engagement.
As an author, your website should be as compelling and dynamic as your writing. I specialize in translating your unique voice and vision into a digital presence that not only looks beautiful but also functions seamlessly. Whether you're launching your first book or looking to revamp your existing site, I'll work closely with you to ensure your website is a true reflection of your brand. My process includes a thorough consultation to capture your vision, custom design tailored to your needs, and a user-friendly interface that you can easily update. Let’s create a digital space that brings your literary world to life and connects you with your readers.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WORKING WITH ME
From the initial consultation to the final handover, my goal is to make the process smooth and enjoyable. I start by understanding your needs and vision, then move into a custom design phase where we lay the groundwork for your site. My expertise in custom code injection and plugin integration ensures your website will have unique enhancements that make it stand out. Each project includes essential elements like SEO setup, lead capture forms, social media integration, and mobile optimization to boost your online presence and reach more readers.
Your satisfaction is my priority, which is why I offer two rounds of revisions to perfect every detail. Once the site is ready, I provide a one-hour training session to empower you to manage and update your website with confidence, saving you time and money in the long run. I'm all about creating a collaborative and enjoyable experience, so if you have any wild ideas or additional needs, I’m ready to roll with it. Let’s chat about your project and build a website that showcases your work and helps you connect with your audience.

Design Division
In 2014, armed with my graphic design diploma, I set out to explore every corner of the industry, eager to soak up knowledge from the talented creatives around me. Over the past decade, I've worked with branding agencies and in-house teams, but along the way, I discovered my niche – Squarespace!
Building Squarespace websites has allowed me to develop my skillset far beyond what I ever imagined, while giving me the freedom to work for myself and partner with like-minded brands, no matter where they are in their business journey – or the world.
Projects
Alexandra King - Women's Nutritionist
Alexandra King is a clinical nutritionist based in Sydney, Australia, specialising in all aspects of women's health, digestive health, skin conditions and more.
Alex was looking for a fresh take on her existing website. With an amazing vision and a keen eye for minimalistic design, she needed our expertise to bring it all together. We undertook a complete visual overhaul to align the site with her brand guidelines, installed a filtering system to enhance blog functionality, set up an eCommerce subscription service, and streamlined the overall flow and usability of the website.
Chapter Two - Property Developer
Chapter Two, a dynamic property developer in partnership with a creative agency, needed a website that encapsulated their brand's focus on building timeless residences in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. With deep roots in these communities, their team brings a unique perspective to planning developments, creating spaces that truly feel like home.
Our challenge was to translate the creative agency's stunning preliminary design and Chapter Two's brand guidelines into a functional, smooth, and visually captivating website. Featuring a clean, minimal design supported by high-end imagery, the site includes a property development portfolio with advanced filtering functionality. This project was a testament to our ability to deliver a seamless digital experience that matched the client’s high standards and vision.
Joy Therapy - Holistic Therapist
Joy Therapy
Phillipa Joy is a licensed therapist based in Brisbane, offering holistic mental health care across Australia. With decades of experience and a nurturing approach, she provides therapy for adults, adolescents, and children, as well as professional consultations.
Phillipa came to us with an existing site that lacked flow and clarity, and she wasn’t sure how to best implement her brand guidelines. We took her existing branding and visual identity and performed a complete design overhaul and re-structure. By streamlining the copy and ensuring the site exuded a nurturing feel, we created a space that truly reflects Phillipa’s approach. The redesigned site features services, an about page, and a consultation booking form, all seamlessly integrated for a more coherent user experience.
VMD Interiors - Interior Designer
For VMD Interiors, a full-service residential interior design studio, we were tasked with bringing their stunning brand guidelines and printed collateral to life online. This white-label project, completed in collaboration with a renowned agency specializing in business coaching and branding for interior designers, aimed to showcase the beautiful interiors crafted by Victoria Montalban and her team.
The website we developed features an engaging about page, a detailed services listing, and a stunning project showcase. From their Melbourne studio, VMD Interiors draws on both traditional and modern elements to create fresh, authentic, and livable homes. Our goal was to ensure the digital experience truly reflected the warm, inviting, and meticulously designed spaces they are known for, making their vision accessible to clients near and far.
