"Samara birthed this beautiful piece of art for me."
"As I was trying to describe my vision to the best of my abilities, Samara was able to interpret that for the public, into language that made sense for my students and my dream clients. It felt really good to be seen and heard and understood in that way."
– Shae Savage | Priestess, Ceremonialist, & Yoga Teacher
The Face Behind The Screen
When I'm not supporting clients, designing, or outlining intentional marketing plans, I can usually be found at a choir rehearsal or curled up on the couch with a cozy cup of coffee dreaming about helping more creatives build thriving businesses.
While I grew up in White Rock, BC, I’ve been living here in Edmonton for almost two years and working with local businesses lights up my heart.
As a small business, I’ve been where you are now. When I first started my design studio, I listed my prices incredibly low (think: $500 for a custom website) in hopes that my ideal clients would hire me.
I believed my passion for design & creativity would bring abundance, but instead, the only thing in abundance was burnout. My work (and income) wasn’t sustainable and certainly wasn’t contributing to the life I was dreaming about when I started my business.
Once I started to learn and implement strategic marketing, my design studio grew from scraping by to consistently hitting five-figure months without diminishing my creative spark.
Once I learned to trust myself fully, value my work, and step into alignment, I started to call in the exact clients I wanted to work with - in abundance. And I can help you do the same. Let’s tap into some creative magic with your Edmonton business through web design & business coaching.

What Would Intuitive Business Coaching & Design Mean For Your Edmonton Business?
Filling your calendar with soulmate clients that truly love and appreciate the work that you’ve poured your soul into.
Effortlessly creating a content calendar full of posts that speak directly to your dream client.
Feeling an unshakeable confidence when promoting your products and services because you feel truly aligned and in your power.
Increased monthly revenue because your business, design, and marketing are rooted in a professional and aligned strategy.
Less dead-end inquiries from people shopping around for the lowest price rather than best-fit.
But don't just take my word for it (take theirs!)
"I’ve already received bookings from people I would have never booked prior."
Before working with Samara, I had a Facebook page and Instagram, but as everyone knows, every good photographer has a website. I was constantly asked if I had one, and was always embarrassed to say "no". I think it really limited the amount of business I was receiving. I had always thought I would design my own website, but I had NO idea where to start, so I put it off for years. I worried about cost, and whether they would be easy to work with/understand my design goals, wants and needs. Samara got EVERYTHING.
– Saphren Lise Photography
"Working with Samara was a life changing experience!"
She has helped me evolve as a biz owner but also as a person. I'm booked out at least 2 months in advance! I'm finally hitting $5K + months consistently and soon to be $10K months. The leads I receive are aligned with the clients I want to work with. Discovery Calls are more a confirmation that we are a good fit than actually selling and praying they sign.
– Martine Cousineau Pouliot, Streamlined By Martine
"It feels exciting now to put my brand out there."
When I scroll through the website and all the brand documents that I got throughout the Strategic Brand Makeover, it just puts into perspective how much value there is in that investment. If you get a $100 template off of Squarespace, you're not getting multiple logos and things that you can use for social media and things that help you have a consistent voice in the online world. You're not getting any of that additional support like I had from Samara. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s needing a new brand—especially brands in the soul-led creative sector.
– Chelsea Dawn, The Flower Alchemist
"Now I would say about 90% to 95% of the people who end up booking a call with me are ideal clients.”
I loved that working with Samara was so much more than building a nice website for my business. It’s really streamlined my process and made it easy for clients to decide if my studio is for them or not.
– Arianna Ervin, Arianna Mae Studios
"I loved how easy it was to connect and communicate with Samara. "
She made it very simple to give notes and receive feedback. It was like working with my friend on a fun new project together. Samara not only improved my online presence drastically, she taught me a lot about my business, my mission, my palette, my style and my ideal client. Grateful to have made a new friend with a kindred heart.
