Hi! My name is Katherine Shuler and I’m a Brand & Web Designer based in Austin, TX, USA.
02
Outside work you will often find me unplugging through exercise, such as taking long walks in the neighborhood, boxing, and weight lifting. Sometimes, I find myself dreaming of new ways to refresh my home and dip into my interior design hobby. When it's time to relax, I either binge on reality TV or try out a new pasta recipe in the kitchen. (V I E W)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually up around 6:30 AM and start my day by making a coffee protein shake. I then go through my inbox and adjust my schedule to prioritize tasks for the day. I try to take a quick walk outside, but if I can't, I make sure to get my steps in using a walking pad under my desk. My typical workload includes working on custom client websites and brands, handling UI/UX work for the agency I freelance for, and focusing on marketing for Rainey Studio. (V I E W)
04
My day usually starts with coffee
05
Most of the time I am working on website design, updates, and audits
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
When I was a little girl, I remember my dad bringing home a massive IBM desktop computer. I was immediately fascinated and spent many days of my childhood playing games such as The Sims. I eventually grew into the MySpace era, where I learned how to customize my profile using CSS. My love for technology and my traditional art background gave me clarity on what I eventually wanted to go to school for - Graphic Design.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I love creating a brand's online presence. Websites offer ample space to display a visual story and showcase the brand's personality through small interactions and animations, creating a unified system.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?

Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
I frequently reference workshops that focus on galleries, hover interactions, and scrolling. Adding small customized touches of code can help a brand stand out from templated designs and give it a unique voice and personality on a digital platform.
11
What makes your work standout?
I have a diverse professional background that includes leadership in in-house start-up design and running my own studio. I've lived in Texas for over 10 years, where I've been inspired by the creative environment of Austin. However, I also draw inspiration from my Carolina roots, which are more classic and timeless, influenced by the beautiful landscape of tall trees and the Atlantic. I strive to create clean and elegant branding and website designs, using sophisticated typography to convey personality and employing strong art direction to establish a cohesive and timeless brand system that feels modern and fresh.
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Standout is incredibly organized, detailed, and thoughtful. I've gained a wealth of knowledge about web design and development, including responsive design best practices, strategic copywriting, SEO, optimization, and more. Rache is always available to assist, answer questions, give feedback, and support all her students. It's definitely a worthwhile investment.
13
What is your dream website project?
I would love to collaborate with an interior design studio that aligns with my aesthetic. The studio's website should have a sophisticated and classic design, displaying beautiful spaces with edge-to-edge media. In addition, I envision an accompanying e-commerce platform to sell their curated selection of furniture, decor, and other items that add warmth and personality to a home.

Hi! My name is Maria Elena Monraz Preciado and I’m a Founder & Creative Director based in Guadalajara, Mexico
02
Outside work you will often find me playing with my dog Bimba (although I do that during work hours too :)) Doing sports, specially kite-surf. I love traveling and working as a digital nomad. I am *based* in Mexico so I love summer, the beach and any activity that requires being in water. I love running early in the morning, coffee (espresso) and architecture / interior design.(VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually drinking coffee and designing the website architecture. I love development and my focus is bringing designers vision and website projects to life through smart code.

04
My day usually starts with meditation, coffee and a morning run in the nearest park
05
Most of the time I am working on web development for other designers inside Squarespace and Shopify
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
I am a 90's kid so I remember the sound of dial up internet. I am a hybrid: knew both analog and digital eras. I would download coloring books and images that I could then print out and make an art project out of them... I loved it since the very beginning.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
Coding is where I shine. I like design and really enjoy it too... but writing lines of code and coming up with smart, efficient and simple solutions to website mockups is my passion. I love puzzles (big sudoku fan) and web development is like solving one big puzzle in many small steps.

Playing with my dog

How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Monochrome. Playful. Bold.

11
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
All of them! But if I have to choose: vertical lines, mega menus (or any menu workshop), testimonial slider, sticky - scrolling, focus list carrousels, anything with hover effects and animations.... Lol I could keep going, they are all amazing.
12
What makes your work standout?
I love an editorial, bold, monochromatic design but contrasted with fun, playful user integrations. I love it when users are surprised when visiting a website with *hidden* cool animations and interactions. I love to incorporate these fun little code snippets that give web designs and extra layer of fun.
13
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Maria Web StudioWebsite →It was the first website I made for myself when I launched my Web Design Studio and was still a student inside Standout Squarespace. Since it was a project for myself I felt really confident to explore and take risks. It represented my design style to the fullest: editorial, vertical lines, black and white and image and typography based. I built it when the classic editor was the only editor. I used the lessons learned inside Module 4: Box model, typography, display, float and layout position properties. During this project I learned that anything is possible when you learn smart coding techniques. That CSS alone goes a long long way. I also learned more about my personal style and POV.
14
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
My biggest takeaway is that if you build strong skills you can achieve anything. That you can create your dream job, and creativity is inside all of us, it just has different outlets. I will forever be grateful for Rache and of her Standout Programs, they opened a lot of doors I never thought possible for me.
15
What is your dream website project?
I love coding websites, so my dream website project is to collaborate with nice, cool designers around the world and bring their website projects from cool to coded.

Standout Squarespace
01
Hi! My name is Estefanny Ramirez and I’m a Co-Founder and Design Lead based in Quito, Ecuador.
02
Outside work you will often find me making ceramics, coloring, collaging, puzzling, talking to my plants, listening to a podcast, watching my favorite Youtubers, or traveling & eating with my partner and dog <3 (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually cleaning up my email, creating content for our studio, showing up for our online creativepreneur community, browsing design inspiration for future brand/web projects, creating mood boards for proposal presentations, and/or working on a brand development or website design project for a client. Everyday is different when you're running your own creative studio, especially when you wear many hats. (VIEW)
04
My day usually starts with conscious movement or meditation, a good breakfast, and a serene walk outside.
05
Most of the time I am working on tasks or projects that matter and have capacity for that day –things that give us a healthy return on investment, not just financially, but also emotionally, that fills our cup and our creative souls.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
Googling summaries of books as soon as that was a thing, haha.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
Doing the research and translating the client's personality into the website experience, making thoughtful design decisions –whether it's the navigation layout, colors, copywriting or the user-experience– I love being able to create and build something that truly represents the human behind, delivering something that client is proud of and feels connected to.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
Anything from Brain Education TV videos.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Bold. Vibrant.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Summary Block, Timelines, Custom Cursor, Lined Header, Vertical Scrolling Block, CSS Grids in Sections, Text Toggles, Blog List Borders
11
What makes your work standout?
What makes our work standout is our intentional and collaborative approach to truly getting to know the people behind the brands we work with and bringing their voice, personality, authenticity and humanity into our creative process and the work we produce for them.
Our clients feel included and involved vs. it feeling like a one-way street type of partnership.
You also get to brag about working with an Ecuador-based creative team made up of a an Ecuadorian graphic designer, a Chinese-Jamaican art director, and a South-Korean dog-boss.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Moonlab Productions Website Redesign
A quick throwback: In 2019/20, we first redesigned MoonLab Production’s kickstart one-page starter site into a sleek and simple multi-page Squarespace website to align with their new brand direction and better present themselves to the digital world.
A couple of years later, the agency grew exponentially and approached us with a larger budget to work on another redesign that incorporated more advanced coding, custom visuals + animations and bells and whistles/hidden easter eggs. We were so excited because we’ve already set up a strong site structure and foundation to seamlessly take on this second redesign and facelift.
In addition, we were tasked with:
• crafting a new mission statement for MLP
• hosting a social media + brand storytelling workshop for their team
• creating Instagram content for the launch of the website
This redesign was focused on visual enhancements and incorporating more animations and interactions via custom coding. With our vision and the client’s needs in mind, we sketched out our ideas and created moodboards of our creative direction to ensure that we were all on the same page. Then we restructured the sitemap to include additional pages and showcase the flow of the new website.
Once we had our wireframe sketches, moodboards and sitemap completed, we did a check-in with the client to present them all of our ideas and initial thoughts for the redesign.
We used so much of the base knowledge that was gained from Standout Squarespace: on coding to rally bring our concept to life, how to maintain a clean code setup on the backend, how to ensure a site has optimal loading time, how to implement so many cool features like the side-by-side-scrolling scrolling, the vertical marquee, read more toggles and more!
Overall, I learned so much with this project, and of course from Standout, that I can't even imagine being able to execute this project without Rache's knowledge and program.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Dream bigger, charge more, appreciate the process, give yourself a system, write things down so you don’t have to think about it from scratch every time and make yourself and your business goals a priority. The way that Rache has scaled her business has inspired us to meaningfully build upon our services and creative offerings. And of course, my creative developer skills feel GREAT now –This helps me provide a more complete Squarespace website package for our clients.
14
What is your dream website project?
We would love to work with brands that believe in gender-neutrality or focuses on weight and body neutrality or with a not-for-profit that focuses on global impact. It would be awesome to work with people like Jameela Jamil and brands like iWeigh, or maybe a web redesign or even a branding revamp for a booming startup from Shark Tank! Being able to work with respectful, creative and open-minded clients on projects where we can explore things and create things that are bold, beautiful, functional and thoughtful. #goals

Also, the fact that I am both a talented creative person and have strong technical development skills. When you connect with my brand, I do have a very distinct personal aesthetic. That being said, I am very open-minded when it comes to the types of design styles I take on for clients.

What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
I have learned to feel more confident writing code through these programs. This was something I always wanted to get better at, but I didn't have a chance to until I enrolled in Standout Squarespace. They changed the game for me and has given me a technical leg up on other designers in my field.

“fáilte.|
/ˈfɑːltə,Irish ˈfɑːlʲtʲə/
Pronounced: fawl·chuh
An act or instance of welcoming.”
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
We got 3 computers at school when I was around 8 years old and we were all allowed to have a turn. I searched PUPPIES and then played with a paint program and created a drawing (design?) for my mum.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I LOVE taking mockups and turning them into live working websites, using code to add special touches that can't be achieved otherwise - it's so exciting for me and for clients to see things coming to life.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
In between coding big projects I like to get outside, get some fresh air and reset. I also like to do pilates when I can or simply just clean, tidy and reorganise my space. I think having a calming, fresh work space can help so much!
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Minimalist. Dark. Romantic.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Sticky split screen scrolling seems very popular with photographers who are my main clients. It's a great way to show off a portfolio of work without making the website look really long.
11
What makes your work standout?
I like creating more moody, cosy websites that people can feel at home when visiting.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
I recently designed and built a template for photographers. Being a personal project it meant I could use elements and pieces of code I'd been wanting to try but maybe hadn't had the chance yet. I incorporated a mega menu, video banners, sticky scrolling portfolio and custom blog layout. It was a great way to practice my skills and I have had many clients reference elements of this template meaning I could use these sections again for client projects.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
When starting Standout Squarespace I was worried I wasn't clever enough to be able to understand and create technically coded websites. I've since learned that even a small amount of smart and clever coding can add a huge difference and make websites standout and be special. For me it's not about making the most technical, code filled website, but creating something beautiful where the client can feel at home and be proud to share.
14
What is your dream website project?
My dream project would be either a Scottish landscape or wedding photographer website, or an architectural project. Anything with beautiful, rugged imagery.
