I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of creativity and technology, and over the years I’ve built a career helping businesses grow through thoughtful design, authentic content, and organized digital systems. Starting my own studio has been a long-time goal, and I’m proud to bring my skills home to support the community that raised me.
The name Pixel Pixie comes from two parts of my world: “Pixel,” the tiny digital building blocks I work with every day, and “Pixie,” a nod to me — the person behind the strategy, the design, and the spark of magic that ties it all together.
Before launching Pixel Pixie Studio, I led operations and marketing at Scotts Valley Gym, where I managed everything from website design and branding to social media, email campaigns, and digital ads. I’ve also worked in fast-paced customer-facing roles that strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills. Whether I’m building a website, creating content, or organizing back-end systems, I bring the same intention: clarity, creativity, and genuine care for the people I’m helping.
What I Bring to Every Project
- Clean, modern, easy-to-update website design
- Social media content and strategy that feels natural and engaging
- Photo and video editing that elevates your brand’s story
- Email and SMS campaigns that connect with your audience
- Organized back-end support that keeps your business running smoothly
- A friendly, reliable partner who communicates clearly and works collaboratively
My Why
I believe every local business deserves a digital presence that feels true to who they are. Helping people feel confident online — and watching their business grow because of it — is the heart of my work.
Let’s Build Something You’re Proud Of
If you’re ready to refresh your online presence or start something new, I’d love to collaborate and bring your vision to life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
