Bringing the light back into your brand.

Helping female entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives build bold, beautiful brands that actually feel like them.

Web Design. Branding. Templates. Coffee.

Extreme burnout from a teaching career, mom guilt, & a love for designing flyers on Canva for my classroom ultimately,
led me here

It's true

I’ll never forget sitting in my classroom after creating a few flyers for a fundraiser on Canva and thinking, "Woah, that was actually pretty enjoyable. I wonder if people get paid to do this?" LOL. That thought came and went quickly—I didn’t know much about graphic design back then, other than the fact that I liked it.

Fast forward a few years, a baby, & some super mom guilt later, while scrolling on social media, I stumbled across an ad about freelancing and becoming a virtual assistant. Cue the podcast binges, countless YouTube tutorials, and a ridiculous amount of iced coffee to help me learn all the things—until the day I finally found enough courage to convince my husband to let me take a course and quit teaching. Thankfully, he believed in me from day one. (Love you, babe!) 

But my mission goes beyond creating “pretty” aesthetics. Light & Layne Creative is about empowering you to become the confident business owner you want to be. It’s about creating clarity in your vision, aligning your brand values, and building meaningful connections with your ideal clients. My goal is to create a community of women who feel empowered to build businesses they love.




When I’m not slumped over my laptop (poor posture probs), you can find me chasing around my two wild littles, sipping on- you guessed it- another coffee, crushing my legs at the gym, or planning my next country concert appearance. 


With over 33.2 million businesses in the U.S., there’s room for yours, too—and high-paying customers at that!

I’m a junkie for a good marketing podcast, a problem solver at heart, and I’ve finally found a way to blend my unused Bachelor’s in Psychology with business and consumer behavior. 

Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving women across industries—online business, the beauty world, photography, and even the medical field—helping them with digital marketing, design, and social media management.

a business built on a whole lot of love & coffee

And if you made it this far, cheers! We're about to be real good friends 

work together

"I have been in business for 7 years and my website has been a pain in my rear end from the start. Eventually after 5 years I pieced together my own, but it still never had the pizzaz I envisioned. Then in comes Anna, who was introduced to me when I was hired to do her hair and makeup. I knew from our first call that she was my GIRL. We vibed immediately and I could tell she understood my vision. That first mockup blew me out of the water and every update after that was even better! I now am so proud to give others my URL and have absolutely increased my site inquiries since we launched. Cannot thank Anna enough for holding my hand through the process and producing the coolest website around."

"Creating a website for Brows by Ash was something I had wanted and needed for a long time. It needed to be clean, trendy, user friendly and overall get my clients attention and be completely functional. Anna knocked it out of the park! When it comes to creating not just a website but a brand that looks so attractive and appealing for others to look at your work, Anna without a doubt gave me more than I ever expected! She actually made me look at my work and be proud to share it!"

"Anna has been an absolute blast to work with! I am not the most tech savvy person but she has made the whole process super easy, organized and fun! Each step was mapped out along the way to make my part of the process extremely simple! I couldn’t have asked for this process to go any better than it did and am now super excited to look at my website each and every day! Thanks Anna!!"
