Hi there! Welcome to Sandstone Creative—a one-person show dedicated to making the internet a prettier, smarter, and more functional place. I’m Niki, a web designer and developer who thinks websites should do more than just exist. They should work for you, look great doing it, and maybe even have a little fun along the way.
Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t your run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter web service. I’m not here to slap together some generic template and call it a day. I’m here to craft digital experiences that actually do something—whether it’s driving traffic, converting visitors into customers, or just making your brand stand out in a crowded digital world.
From Rocks to Code (Sort Of)
Sandstone Creative’s name isn’t just random. Sandstone is rugged, unique, and built to last—qualities I aim to bring to every project. Plus, I’m a rock climber in my free time, so there’s a little on-the-nose inspiration there too. (Hey, at least I didn’t name the company “Rock Solid Web Design.” That was tempting.)
My journey into web design started after I got laid off from my last job—a blessing in disguise. I finally pursued something I’d been curious about for years: coding. After an intense full-stack development bootcamp, I realized I loved the creative side of front-end development. The rest, as they say, is history—or rather, a mix of long hours, caffeine-fueled nights, and figuring out how to make websites that both look great and actually work.
What Sets Sandstone Creative Apart
The internet is full of websites that are… fine. They exist. They load (mostly). But why settle for “fine” when you could have a site that actually does the job? Here’s how I approach things differently:
Function Meets Form
Sure, I could build a website that’s all bells and whistles, but if it doesn’t work for your business, what’s the point? My goal is to create websites that are both functional and beautiful. Think of it like pairing hiking boots with a sleek jacket—you get both practicality and style.
Purpose-Driven Design
Every decision I make—whether it’s choosing a font, optimizing a button placement, or improving load times—has a purpose. Your website is more than just a digital placeholder. It’s your handshake, your business card, and your sales pitch all rolled into one.
Personalized Attention
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a web developer. You’re getting a teammate who’s invested in your success. I don’t hand you a website and disappear into the abyss. I stick around, offer support, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
Why I Do What I Do
Honestly? I love helping people. There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking a business’s vision and turning it into a website that works harder than their morning coffee. Plus, web design lets me flex my creative muscles while solving puzzles, and who doesn’t love a good puzzle?
Are you ready to create something amazing?
At Sandstone Creative, I believe websites should be as unique as the businesses they represent. Whether you’re a health and wellness brand, an outdoor adventure company, or a small business looking to make waves online, I’m here to help you create something that stands out.

Because at the end of the day, the internet doesn’t need more websites. It needs better ones.
