I have been designing blogs, websites and brands for over 15 years, beginning with my very own blog, Little Blue Deer, which I started back in 2009.
I am an avid long-distance runner, Nordic skier and golfer. I also love reading, cooking, BBC murder mysteries and I have an encyclopedic knowledge of indie music. Fave fashion item: black turtleneck sweater. I’m a Jeopardy! champion from the comfort of my couch, and I’m a hobby nature photographer.
I’m a private person, I don’t do the socials and I don’t like putting myself out there. I’d rather stay out of the spotlight and let my clients shine. I do lots of different things, this is just one of them. So if you’re interested in learning more about what I can do for you and your brand, get in touch below!

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Casey Atud-TsudaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Shari from Little Blue Deer was an absolute dream! The moment I found her services I knew she was the right person to bring my idea to life. Her design style fit exactly what I envisioned for my website - elegant and modern. She took my vision for a fitness and mental health platform and turned it into a professional, polished reality that I'm so excited to start using. She is communicative, organized and remarkably fast. A real pro at what she does. Even when we ran into migration glitches, she stayed calm and got everything looking 'pixel-perfect' on both desktop and mobile. I’m so proud of my new site! Thank you, Shari! You're definitely my go-to, can't recommend enough!Posted on Jeanne ThomsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had admired an interior design website years ago and always said “if I ever make the plunge, I will use this web designer”. Her style, fonts and layouts are clean, modern and feminine. When I actually had Shari make my first website, I was just so excited, like it validated everything I had accomplished and everything I could offer my clients. Over the years (10 now!) Shari from Little Blue Deer has helped me keep my site updated as my life and taste changed. She always responds cheerfully and creatively and has rescued me so many times from my own attempts at “updating”. I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks so much Shari!!Posted on Allison IncorvaiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let me start off by saying what a phenomenal experience I had with Shari. I had previously purchased a theme from another company and I had nothing but issues. It kept me from growing my audience and creating content. My time was spent trying to fix errors all the time. A few weeks ago, I came across Little Blue Deer designs and was intrigued. I loved the styles I saw and contacted Shari for more information. She has been so wonderful to work with. She is professional and so responsive. Any time I had a question she was always there. You can tell she cares so much much about her job, and it is reflected in her work. I am blown away by her talent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a blog/website created. Her prices are fair and my site was completed in a week. I am in love with my new website and her design reflected me perfectly. Thanks again for all your dedication and hard work.Posted on Kaitlin ZoltowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Little Blue Deer has been SO AMAZING!!!! Seriously, I am a first time blogger and have had so many questions, Little Blue Deer has answered every single question immediately and helped tremendously. The blog they created for me is GORGEOUS and exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend anyone new to blogging or creating a website to use Little Blue Deer! Thank you, Little Blue Deer, for all of your help!Posted on Valerie FordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE – I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY WEBSITE! Oh my goodness! I am screaming, in tears, and so happy! Can I just tell you I am obsessed with my website? It's gorgeous! I am beyond pleased and you basically nailed it! I cannot stop smiling. Wow! The tan, pink, and gold vibe is perfect and the website reflects my personality. I guarantee you people that know me will say, "this is so you". The above was my first reaction when I saw my beautiful website. Words can’t express how pleased I am with the result. Shari was such a joy to work with and extremely professional with quick responses to any of my questions. She was able to capture my vision and create this beautiful website in such a short timeframe. She is so good at what she does and I “highly recommend” her services anytime. I mean I was just blown away and obsessed with my site which is so upscale and professional.Posted on Virginia WyattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough about working with Little Blue Deer...Shari is creative, patient, innovative, and brilliant! I worked with her in creating my logo and I felt she understood what I was looking for from the very beginning. She provided several options for me to look over and tweak. She then provided numerous edits/revisions and was very quick in getting everything back to me. I loved everything she sent so much that it was almost impossible to make the final decision. Little Blue Deer's services are worth every cent and I can't wait to work with them again!Posted on Rachel WinstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shari is absolutely phenomenal! She is so personable and understanding. I'm so happy I found her for my logo and blog design. I'm beyond happy with my service and results! Thank you Shari!Posted on Kimberly HashaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to find little blue deer from a friend. I expected blog to be finished in a couple weeks. I researched beforehand & her site was very functional where to start a blog. My blog was completed within a week! She is so sweet to work with. I highly recommend her. I’m so in love with my blog design!Posted on Kristi WallaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do I begin!? Shari was the absolute BEST person to work with on my new blog design. I'm a brand new blogger and was feeling SO overwhelmed trying to design it myself and that's when I turned to Google to help me find a designer. I came across her site and immediately fell in love with her work she's done for other. So, I reached out and explained that this would be a big investment for me especially since it's just a hobby (for now). I expected a kind of copy and paste inquiry response email, but instead I got Shari and she made me feel SO comfortable and assured me that I'm in good hands. She was super responsive, so easy to work with, never got frustrated with all of my back and forth emails, and held my hand the whole way. I would HIGHLY recommend her services. I felt like I was working with a friend, seriously. Go with Little Blue Deer Designs. They will not disappoint.Posted on Ashley LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend recommended Little Blue Deer for my logo design and website and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Shari was wonderful to work with - friendly, helpful, patient, and efficient. She took my vision and helped me create a stylish and trendy site for my business, and I love the logo she designed for me. She also sent me helpful tutorials for everything from email footers to blog posts. We are in different countries AND time zones, but Shari still managed to make me feel like a priority. I highly recommend Little Blue Deer for website/blog, and logo design.
