hello!
so glad you're here
-Andrea
I help small business owners build clear, confident, and sustainable businesses by simplifying the often overwhelming parts of planning, branding, websites, and SEO into calm, manageable steps. My work is rooted in clarity over hustle, helping you build in a way that feels organized, purposeful, and easier to manage by understanding what actually matters and what to focus on next, step by step.
I’m an artist at heart, and I’ve learned that creativity and structure work best together, which is why I teach simple systems and thoughtful design that make business feel lighter, not louder.
How I Support Small Business Owners
At Rustic & Simple Design, everything I create is designed to help you build a small business with more clarity and less overwhelm. There’s no pressure here to do everything at once, just steady guidance, thoughtful tools, and support that meets you where you are.
Here’s how that support takes shape:
clear guidance & structure
I help you understand what matters most at each stage of building your business and how to move forward with confidence. This guidance lives primarily inside Designed Simply, my membership for small business owners who want a clear plan and simple systems that actually make sense.
design assets & creative work
I create patterns and graphic designs that can be used on websites and products. Some designs are included inside the membership for members to use, while others can be licensed or purchased separately, depending on your needs.
practical tools & resources
I also offer a growing collection of business tools and workbooks designed to help you stay focused, organized, and grounded as you build, without adding more complexity.
business concepts & insights
I share ongoing business concepts and insights around clarity, systems, and sustainable growth, for those who like to explore ideas and build trust over time.
Everything here is built to support calm, intentional business growth, at a pace that fits your life.

let’s build your business with clarity and intention...
DESIGNED SIMPLY IS OUR MEMBERSHIP WHERE EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER.
It’s designed for small business owners who want clear direction, thoughtful guidance, and simple systems, without pressure to move faster than real life allows.
Inside, you’ll find step-by-step lessons that help you understand what to focus on next and why it matters, so you’re not constantly guessing or starting over. You can move through the content at your own pace, revisit lessons as needed, and build in a way that feels steady, sustainable, and simply intentional.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just want someone to show me what to do and in what order,” this membership was created for you.
want to use our designs...
I create original creative design assets that help small business owners build brands and websites that feel cohesive, intentional, and easy to manage.
These assets include seamless surface pattern designs and hand-drawn graphics that can be used across websites, digital products, physical products, and licensed applications. Rather than designing only for a single use, each piece is created to work flexibly across different platforms and business needs.
Some are included inside the Designed Simply membership for members to use in their own businesses, while others are available to license or purchase separately, depending on how you’d like to apply them.
Whether you’re designing a website, creating branded materials, or adding visual consistency to your products, these assets are meant to support your business visually, without requiring you to be a designer or overthink every creative decision.
need help with a specific topic...
Alongside guidance and creative design assets, I create business support resources to help you stay focused, organized, and grounded as you build.
These resources are designed to simplify decision-making, reduce overwhelm, and help you move from ideas into action, without adding unnecessary complexity.
I include all of these inside the Designed Simply membership, but they are also available individually for small business owners who only want focused support in a specific area.
want to hear what's working now...
Building a business isn’t just about checking boxes, it’s about understanding why things work, when they matter, and how to make decisions that actually support your life.
I regularly share thoughts, lessons, and practical insights around small business foundations, clarity, marketing, systems, and sustainable growth, especially the things that often get overlooked or oversimplified online.
This is a place to slow down, think things through, and learn from real experience, not recycled advice. If you’re someone who likes to understand the reasoning behind the strategy, you’ll feel right at home here.
New insights are shared regularly as the business landscape evolves.
