Where Creativity Takes Root

The Birch & Bud Difference

A One Client Experience

I’m not juggling three clients and hoping yours doesn’t get dropped. You’ll always know where things stand, and you won’t be left annoyed because someone else’s deadline came up.

Industry Knowledge

I spent years advising travel clients, long enough to watch fees go from a nervous conversation to a non-negotiable, and to learn that what makes someone trust an advisor in the first ten seconds has almost nothing to do with how pretty the website looks. But that’s still an end game.

Custom Code & Strategy

I know Squarespace well enough to go beyond what free templates offer: custom code where it helps, plus SEO and UX principles built into every layout from the start. Your website won’t look like anyone else’s, and the person searching for a river cruise specialist can find you and then know where to click next.

A little about me

I’m basically a recovering Travel Advisor

Hey, I’m Lara,

I spent 15+ years as a travel advisor — brick-and-mortar to indie, through every shift the industry went through. I know what it's like to spend hours on a trip someone books with someone else. To have the fee conversation for the hundredth time. To do the kind of work that's invisible to clients until something goes wrong.

When COVID hit, I pivoted to design. And because my Aries energy can't do anything halfway, I went all in — not just learning the tools, but studying why design works the way it does. User psychology, conversion principles, and what makes someone trust a site in the first few seconds.

I ended up with a weird, genuinely useful combination: I know what you're dealing with because I dealt with it, and I know what your clients want because I spent 15 years working with people like them.

That's what I bring to every website I build. Not just the design aesthetic, but the understanding of what it actually needs to do so it’s working towards your big goals.

Your clients say lovely things about you. Mostly in your DMs, where nobody else can see them.

The Travel Advisor Feedback Toolkit gives you the questions to ask after a trip, so the answers turn into testimonials and referrals you can actually use.
