About Us
A Boutique Web Design Agency for Creatives
I never set out to build Velvet Fern Creative
I built my career designing websites for high-stakes industries—where trust, authority, and strategy ruled everything. I thrived in that world, mastering UX, project efficiency, and client collaboration.
But something was missing. Creativity. Storytelling. Soul.
Then, one Saturday, I wandered into a local plant shop and whispered to my friend, “I’d love to build the website for this place.”
Turns out, I don’t whisper quietly.
The owner overheard me, and before I knew it, we started the process that day. That was the spark. What started as a side project turned into Velvet Fern Creative—a boutique web design agency where creatives come to bring their digital storytelling to life.
Meet the tEAM
Our small team is built on a deep, cross-disciplinary foundation. I bring expertise in UX design, copywriting, and SEO strategy, while Dan masters the coding realm.
We each strive to learn about the other’s job so that we understand the why behind all decisions. This shared knowledge allows us to make choices that uphold the integrity of each project.

Why A Boutique Design Agency Is Different
Big, full-service agencies? There are a set of layers and handoffs where clients can get lost in the shuffle. Our boutique design agency? We keep it small, we keep it intentional, and we work to get it right so you feel seen.
