I know, I know.
What’s a nice gal like me doing on a website like this?
Running it.
And finally running it the way that I want.
I’m Elliot (she/her), and I founded Studio Anansi in 2013.
Back then, I was just another WordPress website…designer.
I enjoyed building websites, sure.
But what I really loved was getting to know different business owners.
Asking about their dreams and goals. Creating a website for them, yes — but also creating all the fun systems that matched their unique business and needs.
After the first few years, I realized that I wasn’t just designing websites. I was designing entire business processes.
At the same time, I was feeling burnt out. The “hustle-and-grind” attitude of modern entrepreneurship wasn’t working for me.
I found myself waking up with a sense of dread, feeling constantly behind because I didn’t post on Instagram every day. Or publish a new article every week. Or constantly push myself to find time for more more more more more.
