BRAND & WEB DESIGN STUDIO

We're the no-fluff, independent brand and web design studio helping businesses across the globe grow from our 150 sq ft. studio in Canada.

We’re a strategy first studio who don’t mess around when it comes to designing for performance, not just looks. Our approach combines creative strategy with no-fluff, user-focused design to build brands that stand out and connect with your audience, paired with performance-driven websites that make it easy for them to work with you.

Fluffy marketing lingo and sneaky sales tactics aren't our style. We’re the straight-up type. We’re not here to sell you a cookie cutter package that doesn’t fit your needs. We get to know your business, where you’re at, and where you’re going, to build something that doesn't just look good on the surface, it actually helps your business grow long term.

Description

Intentionally not an agency.

Hi I'm Emily, a mega strategy-nerd, and the founder of Simmons Digital. I'm the type who tells it like it is and is obsessed with doing this right. I've kept the studio independent by design. It keeps us nimble and close to work. You'll deal directly with the person doing the work, every time. No handoffs or sneaky business. I know how much your business means to you, so I roll up my sleeves and treat it like my own.

Everything she delivers is thoughtful and high quality, and she’s always been dependable with timelines, which we really appreciate.”

House Rules

Make It Strategic

We don’t design things just to look nice. We dig into your data, audience and business so every choice strategically helps you get noticed and make it easy for your client to work with you.

Make It Personal

We’re not here to push you into another cookie cutter package. All our services are intentionally designed to be customizable to meet you where you’re at and build something that lasts.

Make It Hands-On

You’ll deal directly with the person doing the work. All in, every time. No sneaky business. I know how much your business means to you, so I roll up my sleeves and treat it like my own.

Make It Sraight Up

We’re not here to throw a bunch of fancy jargon and fluffy marketing lingo at you to make ourselves sound professional. We’re more of the straight up type who tell it like it is.
