Hants County, Nova Scotia

About
A practical studio for businesses building their first real online presence — or replacing one that's no longer working.
I bring over a decade of professional digital experience, including 11 years managing digital engagement platforms for pharmaceutical and biotech clients. Before that, I built client websites at a startup using WordPress and other CMS platforms.
Hants Design Co. focuses on serving Nova Scotia tourism businesses — particularly those underserved by existing digital resources or building an online presence for the first time. I'm committed to patient, accessible service that helps owners feel confident about their digital tools.
