Hi, I’m Dana
Pleased to meet you!
I’m the artist and designer behind Atelier Reed.
I love working with creative entrepreneurs and small business owners, building them websites that work as hard as they do.
With experience that spans the arts, design, tech, the corporate world, retail, administration, even the marine industry…I’ve got a broad background that brings a wide understanding of business, that I use to help my clients grow theirs.
Whether that’s designing their websites, consultations, branding, documents, setting up software and systems or editing photos to use for your marketing and website, I’m a bit of a jack of all trades.
As a fellow small business owner, I know what it’s like to struggle to manage a business. As someone with Aspergers and ADHD, I really know what it’s like to have that struggle ramped up several notches. That’s why I focus on business owners that are ready to kick procrastination in the arse and get their sites done.
We might be a good fit if:
You’re ready to finally get your website done
You’re looking to work with someone who understands the challenges
You just want to hand it off and have it done for you
You want a website that wows your customers and is a pleasure to use
You want a website that not only looks great but works well and helps grow your business
How did I end up making websites? After working for a large number of companies over many years, where I didn’t really fit well (thank you autism), it was more than time to strike out on my own and work for myself, finally. I get to use my skills to create amazing websites for amazing clients.
When I’m not helping clients, I’m working on my other design business, as a surface designer. You’ll also find me playing some trad music on my Irish wooden flute or working on my photography and print making.
