Designed from the edge of the Pacific.
👋🏻 Hi — I’m Kalie!
Your salty-haired designer, fueled by ocean air, espresso, and high-speed internet.
I help brands tell better stories through intentional design — from websites and logos to full brand systems. After years in the business world, I traded the corporate grind for creative freedom, and now I partner with thoughtful, gutsy brands ready to stand out online.
Whether you need a full website, a new logo, or just someone to jam on big ideas with — I’m all ears.
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll find me out in the mountains or sailing the coast on my old 1985 sailboat. Nature is where I reset, refuel, and reconnect — Catalina Island is a favorite, but I’ll go wherever the wind takes me.
🐾 Meet Colette
Chief Vibe Officer. Foot Warmer. Beef Enthusiast.
Colette is my right-hand pup and the unofficial creative director of this operation. When she’s not taste-testing snacks (mainly beef), she’s sniffing the ocean air like it’s her job, patrolling the coastline one sandy paw at a time.
She takes her role as Desk Buddy very seriously — especially when it comes to keeping my toes warm during long design sprints. Equal parts beach queen and cuddle bug, Colette makes sure this business runs with heart, humor, and the occasional bark of approval.
The Studio
I started this business with one goal in mind: to help brands like yours show up better online — not just with something that looks good, but something that actually works.
Designs by Kalie is a design studio that blends high-touch strategy, brand storytelling, and immersive web design. Whether you’re a filmmaker, outdoor brand, wellness studio, or something in-between — I specialize in building websites that feel as intentional as your work.
The Process
01 / Listen & Learn
We kick things off with a deep dive into your brand, goals, audience, and story. I ask a lot of questions. You get to say all the things you’ve been holding in about what’s not working.
02 / Map & Imagine
This is where strategy meets design. I’ll sketch out the architecture of your site, create moodboards and layout wireframes, and start shaping the visual voice of your brand.
03 / Design & Build
You’ll get mockups, revisions, and a clean custom site that looks and feels like you — every detail crafted with intention. I build sites that are as easy to update as they are to fall in love with.
04 / Launch & Celebrate
We test, we launch, we pop the metaphorical champagne. You walk away with a powerful digital presence — and I’m still in your corner if you need me.
Ready to build something bold?
Whether you’ve got a clear vision or just a hunch, I’d love to help you bring it to life.
