I am so grateful to call this studio mine. For years I worked out of a home office in all the places I’ve lived and once we had a child I felt it was time to have a space of my own. Now I am able to grow my business in more ways than I ever could and I can work in peace. It truly is my escape. It took a long time for me to get here but I did it. Never give up on your goals and dreams. NEVER. When you are passionate about something, as I am about art and design, put all of yourself into it and work hard at achieving the success you hope for. Design has and always will be the one thing that keeps me moving. The one thing that makes me feel alive. I am wholeheartedly thankful I found a home through creative expression. It’s an amazing feeling to know you are doing what you were born to do.

This week I wrapped up a website design for @manjari.gopika.yoga and I am really happy with how it turned out. It’s pretty streamlined with a classic layout keeping it easy to read and navigate. I incorporated her color palette into the headers, buttons and footer but keeping them subtle so nothing is too overpowering. Her photos are pretty much the focal point. From her branding and email template to the website, it was such a joy working with Manjari and I look forward to helping her set up her upcoming yoga courses very soon! You can view the site and learn more about her at manjarigopika.com.

Direct communication to your customers and clients is a great way to keep the conversation going beyond social media. Reaching out to your subscribers via email to keep in touch is pretty essential, especially now. If you are ready to upgrade the look of your list or thinking about starting one then my newsletter service is just for you. With the setup option you get a freshly branded template and graphics, as well as a new list and sign up page if needed. If it’s just a rebrand you need then that’s fine too. And if you want help formatting emails and scheduling them, I offer that as well at a very reasonable rate. Visit graystardesign.com to learn more.
