About
Nutmeg Studio

For brands who care deeply about what they create — I design websites that reflect that care, build trust and drive conversions.

Since 2015, I’ve been helping product-based and service-led businesses bring their brands to life online.

Some clients come to me with an outdated website that no longer works for them. Others are launching for the first time and need someone to gently guide them through the process, step-by-step.

Wherever you are in your business journey, I’m here to shape a website that is smart, soulful and beautifully designed. One that helps the right people say yes with ease.

Why Nutmeg?

Nutmeg is a magical seed associated with clarity, confidence, healing and fire. The energy behind it? That’s how I’d love you to feel about your website: grounded, radiant and ready to move forward.

How it started

Back in 2015, I was working in a digital agency when I was handed my first big eCommerce project: Over 200 products. A Shopify store. No prior experience. Just me, Google and a lot of late nights.

It wasn’t perfect – but it launched. The store reached page one of Google. Clients were happy. And I realised I loved the challenge of weaving design, content, SEO and user experience into something that just made sense and helped a small business grow online.

Since then, I’ve made it my mission to simplify the website process for founders and teams – turning what often feels overwhelming into a calm, collaborative and clear experience with tangible results.

My Approach:

The process is designed to feel grounded, intentional and spacious, so you always know why it matters.

I begin with clarity – shaping websites that are intuitive, elegant and focused on what will truly support your business.

Collaborate

Each website is built through thoughtful dialogue, care and problem-solving – with your perspective valued at every step.

“Meg is the best website designer I could ever have chosen to work with for my Illustration website. What stood out for me immediately on Meg’s website was her beautiful design aesthetic which is so clean, simple, but at the same time layered and informative. Her professionalism, attention to detail and thorough process are all visible on the website and I can honestly say my experience of working with Meg has been all this and more.
