what i love the most about my business is....

Supporting Female Entrepreneurs in Their Businesses

As a female entrepreneur myself, I understand juggling running a business with being a mama and wife.  I love being able to help female entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level and increasing their revenue without having to increase the time spent marketing their business.

It would be an honor to help you with your business, too.

Sophisticated Grace Studio is proud to be an official Showit Design Partner

Showit only accepts a handful of designers each year and the application process can take several months. That means Showit has vetted my work to ensure that it meets best practices for SEO, accessibility, mobile optimization, user experience, and design and acknowledges that I am a designer who actually knows the platform inside and out.

Behind The Screen

Here's a few fun facts and tidbits about the designer behind the screen, Ellie.

A Few More Facts About Me

When I'm not designing strategic ShowIt websites, creating social media content, or writing blog posts, you can find me at home with my husband and sons, reading a good book, or in the kitchen channeling my inner pastry chef.

I've lived all over the Southern United States, but I've been told I don't have a Southern accent. 

As an adult, I have traveled internationally to the Philippines, the Bahamas, and Mexico.  My husband and I learned the hard way that the airport in Amsterdam is a "silent airport" on our way back from the Philippines.

My favorite subscription is Kindle Unlimited.  I have always loved to read. Physical books are still the best though and I love to get good deals on books at thrift stores and garage sales. 

a little love from clients

"I am so touched by your kindness and truly feel you have amazing taste and you understand everything I am asking for."

"I was honestly blinking back tears at how much work you put into the video and looking at ideas to make this perfect for me. No one ever does that for me and I do things like that for all of my clients." 

"You’re awesome! I always talk about how awesome you are 😂"

"Thanks for working so hard on this I really appreciate you!!"
