Good branding and clear messaging don’t just make sense; they help people feel oriented, seen, and compelled to take action. We create websites and offer marketing services that are thoughtful, strategic, and resonate deeply.
[ PRojects ]Featured Sites
Website Strategy + Build
Goal: Create a clear, compelling website that communicates the mission, improves discoverability of resources, and supports ongoing audience growth.
The Nones Project
I led the strategy, design, and build for The Nones Project website, a part of the Spiritual Yearning Initiative by the John Templeton Foundation, led by Ryan Burge and Tony Jones. The goal of the site is to make high-quality insights about non-religious Americans accessible to a wide audience—including scholars, journalists, clergy, elected officials, and the Nones themselves—especially in a moment when headlines about religious change are often click-driven or based on limited data.
Website Strategy + Build
Goal: Develop a mission-forward, story-driven website that clearly communicates impact, strengthens usability for homeowners, volunteers, and donors, and drives meaningful action through intuitive navigation and strategic calls-to-action.
Good Neighbors Home Repair
I led the strategy, information architecture, design, and build for the Good Neighbors Home Repair website, a Chester County–based nonprofit serving low-income homeowners. The project focused on transforming an information-heavy but underutilized site into a clear, mission-forward digital experience that tells a compelling story and guides distinct audiences (homeowners, volunteers, and donors) toward meaningful action.

[ TESTIMONIALS ]"I’ve seen a lot of marketing firms try and serve academic marketplaces, but Tidy Studios stands head and shoulders above the crowd. They used their vast knowledge of content-driven storytelling to help me understand not just what I wanted to achieve, but WHY.
