STRATEGIC, STORY-FIRST WEBSITES FOR STORYTELLERS AND LITERARY BRANDS
Let's work together

Book’d By Design is a web and brand design studio crafting bold websites for storytellers and literary brands. We work with authors, writers, and literary-focused businesses who understand that their online presence should feel as intentional as the work they create. Through strategic design, refined visual identity, and thoughtful collaboration, we create websites and brands that are polished, immersive, and rooted in your story. This is bespoke design for narratives that deserve distinction.

SERVICES AT A GLANCE

  • We design strategic, story first websites that reflect your work and support your growth. Each project starts with your story first and is then grounded in clarity and structure to ensure your digital presence feels cohesive, intentional, and aligned with your long-term vision.

  • Alongside your website, we shape brand elements like typeface logos, color palettes, and font pairing. All the things that bring clarity and consistency to your presence. Every detail is designed to feel thoughtful, recognizable, and aligned with where your work is now — while leaving room for it to grow.

  • We take the time-consuming part out of managing a website so that you can focus on your work. At Book’d By Design, we help storytellers and literary brands run their websites with ease, handling content updates, maintenance, and the small details that keep your website looking polished and up-to-date.

  • We offer focused consulting designed to help you think critically about your positioning, visibility, and what’s next. These sessions provide clarity, direction, and actionable insight to ensure your brand and website are working in alignment with your goals.

MEET YOUR DESIGNER

Hey there, I’m Karrin — a storyteller and web designer based in Washington, DC. My work is rooted in my love of books and commitment to amplifying Black and Brown stories. I believe the stories we tell and how we tell them shape what’s possible for ourselves and the people we hope to reach.

I approach web design the same way I approach storytelling: with clarity, intention, and narrative at the center. Every project begins with understanding your vision and your voice, then crafting thoughtful, strategic websites and brands that feel personal, cohesive, and ready to expand your reach.

At Book’d By Design, we work with storytellers and literary brands helping them to step fully into the spotlight as the main character of their own work. Working with me is a guided, story-first process that ensures your website and brand connect deeply with your audience and reflects the story only you can tell.

Together, we’ll create a space that feels fully you, ready for the world to see.
