hi! i'm ashlee - Designer, dreamer & founder of Oak & Reed studios

I help women-owned businesses bring their vision to life through intentional, heart-led Showit design. 

Oak & Reed Studios is a creative web design and branding studio rooted in connection, creativity, and purpose. I've always loved being creative, but I also have an analytical side that thrives on details and strategy. Web design felt like the perfect harmony of both - the space where creativity meets thoughtful structure to create something truly transformative. 

The heart behind oak & reed

The name Oak & Reed is inspired by my two children - my greatest joys and my ultimate why. "Oak" represents June and "Reed" represents November which are their birth months, and are symbols of strength, growth, and resilience. 

To me, Oak & Reed symbolizes the balance between grounded strength and graceful flexibility - qualities I aim to infuse into business and life every day. 

my approach

My design process is detailed and intentional. Before any pixel is placed, I take the time to truly understand my clients - their story, their business, their goals, and the life they're building. 

Every element on your website should serve a purpose and move you closer to your vision. That's why I research deeply, design thoughtfully, and prioritize collaboration every step of the way. 

I design for women who are striving for more - women who've taken the brave leap into entrepreneurship and are ready to elevate their brand as their business grows. My clients are vision-driven service providers who want a website that reflects who they are becoming, not just where they started. 

When we're done, you'll leave with more than a beautiful website. You'll walk away with confidence, clarity, and a renewed excitement for your next chapter.

a bit more about me

I've lived in Colorado my whole life, surrounded by mountains, sunsets, and nature - all of which inspire my creativity daily. 

When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me with a book in hand (I'm a physical book kind of girl at heart), sipping coffee, or taking pictures of trees, flowers, and sunsets. 

Since becoming a mom, I've grown to love audiobooks just as much as physical ones (out of necessity), and coffee has become my daily fuel. My kids are the reason I chase my dreams, and every part of Oak & Reed is built with them in mind.
