Hi! I'm Emily, I run Sweetfolk Studio, a brand and web studio dedicated to lifting up creative businesses through great design.

Sweetfolk Studio celebrates business owners and solopreneurs who care deeply about their craft - from artists to florists, caterers to stylists. You put your time and energy into serving others beautifully. Your brand should do the same for you.

Through thoughtful, strategic design, and a deep respect for building your vision, Sweetfolk Studio shapes visual identities that feel lived-in, a little off-beat, and built to last.

I've been building websites on Squarespace since 2016, and a Circle member since launch (I think!). Happy to help with any questions or roadblocks, whether you're building a website for yourself or a client.
