classic wix website design
This was the first Wix website I built. My client went from a very basic site that had not been updated since it was created 5 years prior. It was part of a Business Development and Branding project, which included logo design, writing a business plan, streamlining systems, and more.
I used the original site's idea of rippling water as the new site theme and expanded the site so it included pages for the business philosophy, staff bios, treatment descriptions (including the benefits of each), subscription payment plans, online booking, a page with bios on their community partners, a blog, and more.
The logo design uses a visual representation of a song's sound wave - metaphorically mirroring the idea of rippling water while also giving a nod to the massage therapist's business philosophy and second job as a DJ.

The deer has economic and spiritual significance in both Choctaw and Scottish cultures. It is the deer that provides sustenance, clothing, and a means of trade. For the Choctaw, the deer also signifies compassion. And both cultures see the deer as a reminder of cyclical patterns, regeneration, resilience, restoration, healing, growth, and guidance.
​
And though both cultures hold these ideas of the deer, I chose the name Deer Heart specifically because the Choctaw people embody these ideas. They walked the Trail of Tears knowing they would face hardship and death but they had a vision of health, balance, and rejuvenation for the Choctaw people. They show us what is possible when you are resilient through dark times and develop an ability to quickly adapt to change. A mere 4,000 people survived the walk. But the Trail of Tears did not destroy them. It made them more compassionate and giving. And now they are the third largest tribe in the United States, with over 200,000 enrollees located around the world. Their resilience and adaptability, combined with compassion and love of fellow man, allowed the Choctaw Nation to thrive despite the great adversity they faced.
​
I try to follow in my ancestors' footsteps by having my work begin from a place of compassion. My intent is to help small business owners find resiliency and develop strategy that allows them to adapt to change. I want to help members of my community overcome the struggles they face, restore their passion for their work, and develop the tools they need to not just survive dark times, but come out of it stronger.
