Hi, I’m Vera
The creative heart behind Vera Design Studio.
I founded Vera Design Studio with one goal: to help small businesses like yours present themselves confidently online. With over 15 years of experience in design, UX, and branding, I’ve worked on everything from complex digital platforms to personal passion projects — but what lights me up the most is working one-on-one with passionate business owners who are ready to grow.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to build a website, define your brand, or figure out what works online. That’s why I bring not just design skills, but strategy, empathy, and a big-picture perspective to every project. I’ll walk you through each step, listen carefully, and create designs that reflect your values, personality, and goals.
Based in Ottawa, I work with local entrepreneurs, service providers, makers, and creatives — and nothing makes me happier than helping you bring your vision to life.
Whether you need a website, brand identity, SEO support, or beautiful photography, I’m here to make the process feel transparent, collaborative, and (yes!) even fun.
Let’s create something amazing — together.
SOME FACTS
- I’m a huge animal lover — I share my life with a sweet dog named Honey and a curious cat named Puma.
- When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring nature trails, paddleboarding, or enjoying a forest hike.
- I also run a fine art pet and branding photography studio — because I believe every story deserves to be seen and remembered.
- I love using design to empower women and small business owners to feel proud of what they’ve built.
- My perfect morning? A warm cup of coffee, good music, and a blank sketchbook.
