About Me
I started my career in Cape Town where I studied Journalism and Multimedia. It was the perfect mix of creativity, communication and problem solving, and it shaped the way I work today.
After working as an assistant editor & freelancing on the side in South Africa, I moved to Ireland for two years, then eventually settled in the UK. East Devon is now home. I live here with my husband, our two daughters and our slightly chaotic cat. I love family time, coffee and slow weekends.
I have been a web designer for more than fifteen years and I still enjoy it as much as I did when I started. What I love most is helping people who feel unsure or overwhelmed by their website. I listen, explain things simply and make the whole process feel manageable.
If you want a web designer who is friendly, down to earth and genuinely cares about your project, you will feel comfortable working with me.
“I am beyond over the moon happy with my new website. Chiara took the brief and delivered bang on and more. Her systems are organised and efficient, and working with her felt calm and easy. I honestly want to scream to the world how happy I am.”
Why I Love Working With Small Businesses
I've worked in roles centred around communication and customer support. It taught me how important it is to listen properly and understand what people need.
Small businesses are my favourite to work with because they care deeply about what they do. I enjoy sitting down, hearing their story and creating a website that reflects who they are.
Over the years I have worked with a wide mix of people, including:
• trades
• therapists
• coaches
• charities
• family run businesses
• community organisations
Many clients stay with me for years through my Care Plans, which means a lot to me.
How I approach each project
I like projects to feel relaxed and well guided. I keep things simple, communicate clearly and make sure you always know what is happening next.
My goal is always the same. Create a website that feels right, supports your business and makes you feel confident about showing it to others.
