Web Design
I’m a Swarthmore Alum and currently a grad student at Cambridge. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of providing freelance website design for a diverse range of clients, including small businesses, academic professionals, and nonprofits, in an informal capacity. Recently, I decided to launch InSite Design, a small business aimed at sharing my work with the broader local community.
View work: insitedesign.myportfolio.com
At InSite Design, we specialize in:
Web Design + Hosting for WordPress and Squarespace
SEO Optimization
Social Media Integration
Being a boutique agency allows us to bring flexibility and affordability to the table, something larger companies can’t always provide. Too often, people are substantially overpaying for outdated and difficult to maintain websites—I hope to provide a solution for those looking for a fairly-priced, no-hassle alternative.
Whether you’re looking to revamp an existing site or start something entirely new, I’m enthusiastic about discussing how we can support your digital goals and bring your vision to life.
Feel free to reach out to me directly at contact.insitedesign@gmail.com. Looking forward to connecting and exploring the possibilities!
