nice to meet you

Let’s Talk

I help solopreneurs build
beautiful brands, honor their energy, & grow with intention.

You have the vision, the talent, and the heart—but feel stuck when it comes to design and systems. Whether you’re crafting a brand, designing templates, or building your creative business, you don’t have to figure it out alone. With gentle guidance and done-for-you resources, you can skip the overwhelm and create something truly yours.

Hi, I’m Katja

YOUR DESIGN FAIRY

After 15 years as a photographer juggling babies and deadlines, I discovered what nobody tells you: consistent marketing is a myth when your focus comes in 20-minute windows. Whether you’re designing between school pickups, creating during quiet moments, or building your business in the margins of life, you deserve an approach that honors your reality. My templates and systems are built for scattered focus and interrupted days—because that’s how I built mine.

Think of me as the friend who happens to know Photoshop inside out, speaks fluent Canva, and believes your business should work around your life—not consume it.

VALUES

sustainable pace

I believe in business that honors your natural rhythms. No 5am wake-ups required. Success happens when you work WITH your energy, not against it. Every resource I create considers your real life—because your business should support your life, not consume it.

quiet excellence

Beautiful work doesn’t need to shout. I believe in sophisticated simplicity, strategic restraint, and the power of “just enough.” Your brand can whisper and still be heard by exactly the right people. Quality over quantity, always.

gentle growth

Expansion without exhaustion is possible. I believe in building slowly, choosing clients carefully, and saying no gracefully. Your business should grow like a garden, not explode like fireworks. Sustainable success is the only kind worth having.

Meet the Voices in My Head

The Strategist

The MBA who reads business books for fun and turns complex theories into simple templates. Creates systems that run themselves and frameworks that actually make sense.

The Designer

15+ years of making women and things beautiful for worldwide clients. Believes every entrepreneur deserves magazine-worthy visuals without the magazine budget.

The Tech Whisperer

Turns scary AI into friendly helpers and makes Canva sing. Specializes in “how is this so easy?” moments and finding elegant solutions to content tantrums. Knows that human + AI = magic.

The Energy Guardian

Protector of boundaries, champion of naps, defender of “good enough.” Creates resources for sustainable success. Firmly believes your best work happens when you’re rested, not when you’re running on fumes.

Let’s Clear a Few Things Up

These are the questions I hear most often—usually asked with a mix of hope and hesitation. Spoiler: the answer is almost always “yes, you can do this.”

Absolutely. In fact, some of the most authentic brands come from non-designers who understand their business deeply. I’ve structured everything here to work with your beginner status, not against it. You’ll learn the principles that matter (like why certain colors make people trust you) and skip the stuff that doesn’t (like memorizing Pantone codes). Plus, every tutorial assumes you’re starting from scratch—no secret designer handshakes required.

Here’s the secret: Good branding actually SAVES you time. When your visuals are systemized, you stop spending 45 minutes choosing fonts for every Instagram post. When your brand voice is clear, writing becomes faster. I’m allergic to hustle culture, so everything here is designed for sustainable implementation. Think “one coffee break at a time,” not “redesign everything this weekend.”

This entire site was built by an introverted, ADHD entrepreneur who believes rest is productive. You’ll find energy ratings on projects, batch-work strategies, and plenty of “good enough is perfect” permission slips. No livestreaming, no daily posting mandates, no “wake up at 5am to build your empire” nonsense. Just sustainable strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful

You have the vision, the ambition, and the taste. What you need are the right tools to bring it all to life—without the overwhelm, the burnout, or the second mortgage. My templates and resources turn your ideas into polished reality, one coffee break at a time.
