Hi, I’m Jaime Watrob.

I am the owner and design consultant of North 8 Designs. I am passionate about helping business owners with their website design and branding. I do this by using my creativity and experience in business to craft a functional & modern design based on strategy.  

I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Bradley University and am originally from the Midwest. My previous experience is in business development and sales where I worked with small business owners as well as large to mid-size corporations in various industries. I come from a family of small business owners so I guess you could say being an entrepreneur is in my heart. I truly enjoy working with organically grown businesses to develop and refine their brand message and effectively market their offerings online. 

In my free time, I enjoy exploring my home state of North Carolina with my family. I love supporting small businesses in both my personal and professional life. My current favorite publications and shopping destinations are all centered around women owned businesses that are growing a business they bootstrapped from the ground up! Find me over on Substack where I started my own publication called Refine that is purely a creative outlet to share my finds while supporting these types of businesses.

The Branding & Web Design Process

My mission is to use my creative eye with my business mind to bring your brand to life online. I accomplish this by getting to know you, your business and your target audience. I take a consultative approach that will result in a website and brand experience that feels authentic to you and your business.  The end result is a beautiful website that you will feel confident and proud to share with your audience.

Key objectives:

  • Understanding your business & communicating what problem you solve for your audience.

  • Analyzing competitors to ensure your brand image is competitive & stands out. 

  • Setting you up for organic growth opportunities.

  • Saving you time and stress by collaborating with you to take this important piece of your business off your plate.

  • Creating a clear customer journey & identifying ways your website can "work for you.”

Whether you are just starting out or are a growing business looking to level up your website design, let's have a conversation and see if we are a great fit to collaborate. Think of me as your design partner that will own this process so you can continue to focus on what you do best, running and growing your business!
