I design every site to feel like it could only belong to you. Whether you’re a small business or nonprofit, I start by understanding your voice, audience, and goals. Then I craft a site that blends storytelling with strategy, from color choices to layout decisions, so that every click feels intentional.
A good website isn’t just pretty. It makes people feel something, and take action. Because in a world of copy-paste websites, people remember the ones that feel alive.
Here's how you know it's good.

When we decided to build a website for NaVis Bakery, I knew it had to be something special — something that truly represented who we are as a family-run Mexican bakery with big dreams. Xiushan took that vision and brought it to life better than I ever imagined.
She built our entire website from scratch, and from day one, she was incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with. Every question I had, she answered quickly and clearly. Every change I requested — whether big or small — she handled with patience and precision. She respected every milestone and always delivered on time, which made the whole process stress-free for me, even while running the bakery full-time... See More

Phenomenal. That word epitomizes Xiushan's attention to detail, TLC (tender love and care), and pure grit & talent - all of which she will utilize to the fullest for your organization. When I first created the Therapicasso website myself from scratch, I didn't quite know how to elevate the website. While I had mastered the basics, Xiushan took the website from basic to brilliant.
Ultimately, a website is a vehicle for partners and clients to form their opinion around. Because of Xiushan, the website perfectly showcased the work that our nonprofit poured thousands of hours into.
I am incredibly grateful to have Xiushan as Therapicasso's web designer and I give her my strongest recommendation as a web designer.

Originally from sunny SoCal, I love playing games with friends, watching animated shows, art, design, fashion, and birds! I make killer matcha mochi brownies, and I make websites that slay, hard. My design philosophy? Keep it memorable, make it fit, and never be boring.
