as my 4 year old daughter says,
“you help people [as a brand and web designer] make money so they can work at home with their kids too”
I get you - because I am you.
You’re trying to figure out that sweet blend between big dreams and real life.
Sound about right? You're juggling kids, clients, and the million things that matter most. I know what it’s like to feel pulled in every direction and wonder if your ideas are “enough.” That’s why I’m here: to help you turn your passion into a presence that feels like home, works as hard as you do, and makes your brand impossible to ignore.
it takes a village, right?
Let's be real, you want a brand and a website that does the work for you. You're busy!
Famously, your website should be able to explain everything you do, how you do it, and who you do it for, without you even having to having a conversation, yet! Does yours? Or do you constantly feel like you're reaching out and explaining yourself over and over? Let me do the work to make your website your highest performing employee from now, on!
Branding and website experiences for founders, owners, and creative entrepreneurs who juggle family, ambition, and the realities of messy motherhood.

ongoing creative support
I help women communicate their brand clearly with design that shows up even when they can’t.
i'm your number one hype girl.
One thing about me, if you have an idea - I'm going to run so hard with it you're going to have a marketing plan, logo, target audience, and website for said idea by the conversation about it.
If you're not looking for your ideas, passions or hobbies to be monetized, don't chat with me about them.
If you are looking for a friend like that... Maybe take a second to look into my 90-minute clarity session, Brand Sprint.

"It’s like she reads my mind and fully understands my vision before I even say it out loud."
Rouse Design Studio has helped me with two of my businesses now, from start to finish on logos, color palettes, and full website builds. She’s absolutely incredible. It’s like she reads my mind and fully understands my vision before I even say it out loud. Every single time, she overdelivers. If you’re looking for someone who’s creative, reliable, and truly invested in bringing your brand to life, I can’t recommend her enough. You won’t be disappointed.

"Sydney brought my vision to life with stunning clarity, creativity, and professionalism."
Rouse Design Studio is phenomenal! From start to finish, Sydney brought my vision to life with stunning clarity, creativity, and professionalism. Sydney deeply understood my brand and delivered a website that is both visually breathtaking and strategically smart. The process was incredibly smooth, collaborative, and oh, so fun! I’ve gotten so many compliments — truly couldn’t recommend Rouse more. If you want thoughtful, high-impact design, Rouse is it.

"My biggest comment is that your voice will be heard and dreams will become more visual."
Sydney's service is so intentional. My biggest comment is that your voice will be heard and dreams will become more visual. I vividly remember seeing my brand mock up for the first time and being blown away that she could put my ideas into something so authentically ME and MY VISION.
