On Earth Day in 2021, I planted a magnolia tree to celebrate the launch of Artisan Kind. I was in so much pain from a second endometriosis surgery that I couldn't even lift the tree out of its pot, so my husband helped me plant it. A bittersweet milestone, and one of the many reminders that life can be hard, which is exactly why I make kindness a priority in everything I do.
As the daughter of an accountant and an art teacher, I'm an analytical artist at heart. I love the creativity of design, but I bring a logical, strategic eye to every decision behind it, and that's exactly how I help clients build websites that aren't just beautiful, but intentional. With every person I work with, I dig into my introverted, empathic side, listening closely to get to the core of what you envision, even when you can't quite find the words for it yet.
These days, I'm living my dream: running a business that lets me balance working from home with my cats and designing for clients I adore, all from my solar-powered studio, creating from a place of joy, authenticity, and deep care for you and the success of your business.
Sometimes the universe gives you a painful nudge, and if you let it, it can lead you exactly where you're meant to be.
I'm Aubre. Before 2020, I had everything: my dream job as a corporate designer, a marriage to my high school sweetheart, regular trips to Jamaica and Mexico, and two adorable cats, Eddy and Grover. I was all set... then record scratch.
During an emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Just as I was starting to heal, I lost my job to the pandemic. Suddenly I was facing a whole new reality, plus a nagging question: could I build a business around the life I wanted so badly to get back to?
