Hi there! I'm Jo Pate.

I've been designing for over 14 years, roughly as long as I've been knocking people down on the roller derby track. What started in branding and digital advertising has evolved into something I genuinely love: designing Showit websites for small business owners who are ready to be seen online.

When I'm not building websites, you'll find me with a paintbrush in hand or crafting something. I'm an all around creative who loves to hand paint and craft, and that creative instinct flows into everything I design: the color choices, the textures, the way a page feels when you land on it. It's not just web design. It's art with a purpose.

You've already done the hard part by building something worth sharing. Now you need a website that actually reflects that. One that feels like you, attracts the right people, and turns curious visitors into paying clients.

That's exactly what I do at Cherry N. Design. I specialize in websites, graphics, and branding for small businesses, by bringing 14 years of creative experience and a whole lot of heart to every project.

Ready to have a website you're proud to share? Let's chat.

@EMILYSLAUGHTER

It's made for you, not just anyone. Every website I build is tailored to your specific business, your personality, and the clients you actually want to attract. No templates slapped together and everything is intentional.

Your visitors will actually enjoy it. A beautiful site means nothing if people can't find their way around. I design with your audience in mind, so they stay longer, connect deeper, and come back.

I don't disappear after launch. Your business will grow and change, your website should too. I'm in it for the long haul, not just the handoff.

Here’s what working with me looks like:

You go live with a brand and website you’re proud to send people to. And I don’t vanish after launch. Got a question next month? I’m still here.

Once we’re aligned, I get to work. Every decision is intentional, nothing random, nothing generic. You stay in the loop the whole way through. No mystery reveals.

You fill out a short application so I can make sure we’re a good fit before we ever get on a call. No pressure, no sales pitch,  just an honest first step.

"Would recommend--timely, professional, beautiful final product. Great combination of creative and organized."

Favorite part was Cherry N Design listening and hearing our vision and goals. Cherry N Design was able to translate and build on vague ideas on our part into concrete prototypes. This was helpful and exactly what we were looking for in a graphic designer (we are not the creative types!). We so appreciate being heard, feeling like we were working together, and of course the expertise, technical skills, and attention to detail for an final outcome that exceeded expectations. The end product so perfectly captured what we wanted. - Steph C
