Our Story
It all started when Camille needed a website…
In 2018, Camille was studying visual communication design and needed to build her first ever portfolio website. She started exploring DIY website builders and was instantly fascinated by the powerful platforms enabling anyone to turn designs into live experiences in minutes!
Then, small businesses had to sell online…
While working with a startup serving small businesses, Camille took a deep interest in the potential of the same website builder platforms to promote digital equity, communication, and creativity in her community––a small city outside of big, urban tech hubs.

Artist friends wanted their online print shops updated
At the beginning of the pandemic, Camille found herself on a job search. Friends were already running creative businesses in art, design, and photography encouraged her to lean into her interests and skillset for web design and development to help bridge the gap.

More websites with new friends!
Camille continued to meet other artists looking for accessible and sustainable ways to showcase and sell their work online.
Motivated by the unique challenges and unmatched grit of the small businesses and artists she worked with, Camille spent eight months with a startup studio, INVANTI, digging deeper through 50+ interviews and research to better understand the unmet needs of this resilient group.
