SALT

SAND

Every remarkable business deserves more than a pretty portfolio.. Through intentional brand design, website design, and brand photography, I help businesses build trust, attract the right clients, and create lasting first impressions.

A clear brand becomes the foundation for every decision that follows, from your website and marketing to the way clients remember and recommend your business.

Every brand, website, and photograph you see here was designed from the ground up. No templates, no recycled concepts, and no two projects alike.

A curated collection of brand identities, custom websites, and creative work designed to tell each client's story with clarity, purpose, and lasting impact.

Hi, I'm Audra, the designer behind Salt & Sand. I believe the best brands aren't built from templates. They're built through thoughtful strategy, genuine collaboration, and a deep understanding of the people behind the business. Every project is approached with intention so that what you leave with feels unmistakably yours.

I care deeply about the experience just as much as the outcome. You'll never be handed off to a team or left wondering what's next. From our first conversation to launch day, I believe thoughtful communication, honest guidance, and genuine collaboration are just as important as the design itself.

ANATOMY OF A PROJECT

ANATOMY of a PROJECT

04 / Launch

Launch day isn't the end of our work together. I'll guide you through publishing, deliver everything you need, and make sure you feel confident moving forward. Whether you have a question next week or next year, I'll remain a trusted resource long after your website goes live.

01 / Consultation

Every project begins with conversation. During our 30 minute call, we'll uncover your goals, identify your audience, and define what success looks like as well as determine the financial investment.

03 / Design 

I design in stages to make the process both manageable and enjoyable. Every project begins with a fully designed homepage that establishes the creative direction. Together, we'll refine that vision before expanding it across the rest of your website, ensuring every page feels cohesive and intentional.

02 / Strategy

Using Pinterest, Cosmos, and other resources, we'll create a thoughtful plan that aligns your messaging, positioning, and visual direction before we move into design.

The Years in Review

Whether you have a fully developed vision or are simply exploring what's possible, our first conversation is a chance to learn more about your business, your goals, and where you'd like to go next. I'll ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and help determine whether we're the right fit before recommending any next steps.
