Helping Small Businesses Win— Because I Am One

I get the late nights, tight budgets, and big dreams. Let’s build something that works.

Design by Splash started in a bright home office right here in Carroll County, MD. While raising my kids, I began designing websites for local businesses who just needed a little help getting online. But this quickly became a calling. I saw how the right mix of design, copy, and strategy online could completely change a business’s future.

I grew up watching my parents run a flower shop, they were full of creativity but without real marketing tools. Years later, I helped them reach page one of for “wedding florists” on Google, and that’s when I knew: helping small businesses grow is my passion.

With experience in Baltimore ad agencies and in‑house marketing teams, I bring both artistry and strategy to every project—helping small businesses show up with confidence.

The absolutely beautiful and informative website began to attract brides for destination weddings. All the wedding guests visited the Dreamers Travel website which boosted our web traffic.
