Ash, founder of Granite Ridge Creative

Hi, I'm Ash.

As the founder of Granite Ridge Creative, I design modern, responsive websites for small businesses that want to build a stronger online presence. With a background in technology, problem-solving, and creative design, I help businesses create websites that are not just visually appealing, but built with their customers in mind.

My Story

My path into technology has mostly been driven by curiousity, creativity, and the love of a challenge. Throughout my career, I've found myself drawn to opportunities where I can learn new skills, help others, and find practical solutions to everyday problems.

After several years of graphic design work, I decided to purse software engineering. While on that path, I found a passion for building websites that do more than look good. A website should tell a story, make it easy for your customers to connect, and provide a solid foundation for growth.

When I'm not behind the screen, you can find me in the garden, working on a crafty project, or finding new ways for technology to help businesses thrive.

My Background

My background combines technology, customer support, problem-solving, and creative design. This combination of experience helps me to understand the technical side of website building, as well as the business needs behind it.

With experience in IT support, I have developed skills in troubleshooting, tech solutions, communication, and breaking technical things down into a way the average person understands. I have worked with businesses and users to solve problems efficiently while keeping the experience approachable and understandable.

Along with my professional experience, I'm continuing my education in software engineering and expanding my skills in programming. This will allow me to not only design more functional websites, but be able to transition into pairing a web experience with an app.
