Hey, there!

I’m Courtney Slate.

I’m a small-town North Carolina graphic designer and co-owner of a local group for women entrepreneurs (Women-Owned NC). I help ambitious women build custom brands and websites that feel aligned, look elevated, and empower them to grow their business with confidence.

I’ve always been the creative type: the kid doodling during class and dreaming up business ideas before I even knew what an invoice was. These days, I pour that same creative energy into helping women-led businesses feel proud of their online presence. Whether you’re rebranding after major growth or launching something new, I’ll help you create a brand and website that reflect your brilliance, attract the right clients, and support long-term success.

I genuinely love helping people build something they’re proud of. As a designer and fellow entrepreneur, I know the kind of confidence that comes from having a brand that finally feels like you: polished, powerful, and aligned with your goals. I believe that when your visuals match the magic of what you do, people notice… and they book.

What I Do

I create custom brand identities and Squarespace or Showit websites for service-based women entrepreneurs who are ready to uplevel their business, raise their rates, and feel confident showing up online.

Let’s Get Personal

Beyond the pixels and projects, I’m a big fan of:

✶ Dogs with wrinkles (the squishier the better)

✶ Cold brew coffee and back porch weather

✶ Laughing until I cry

✶ The rush of post-cardio endorphins

✶ Riding with the windows down, music up

And here’s a fun fact:

I don’t like cheese. Except on pizza or pasta - I’ll destroy a good Alfredo - but mac n’ cheese or anything cheddar? Hard pass.

Ready to Elevate Your Brand?

You’ve already done the hard work of building your business. When your brand reflects that growth, everything clicks. The right clients find you. Your messaging feels clearer. Showing up feels easier.

Let’s create a brand and website that works as hard as you do.
