  • ONE OF ONE

    “Lydia completely transformed my business. When we first met and began strategizing, she was eager to understand the why behind what I was creating, and throughout the design process, she held on to that as the Northstar for building my website and brand.

    That intentionality and care is reflected in each part of Fordwell Strategies' brand, and I can’t imagine launching my company without her and her talent. Lydia is one of one.”

  • the best decision

    “Building a website was completely foreign to me, so working with Lydia was the best decision I could have made. Her expertise was key to the success of 7 Vessels marketing and online shop. She listened to my needs, offered relevant options, and was prompt when responding to my questions or concerns. The site is efficient, productive, and easy to navigate. I highly recommend her to my fellow small business owners.”

    "I've always found it easy to come up with abstract ideas for the direction I want to take something, but implementing those ideas and actually creating the vision in my mind has always been a struggle. That's where Lydia and Weird Hand Creative come in.

    Lydia has an easygoing, efficient, and direct approach to making my vision a reality. She listened and, more importantly, heard my ideas. The branding package she created captured my vision with surgical precision."
