About

My Why

I'm Kirsten, a web designer based in Lymington and I design websites for small and micro businesses. I've run my own business for six years, so I know how much a website can make or break you, and how frustrating it is to feel boxed in by a template. Here's how I got here, and why I care so much about helping you build something that's truly yours.
