Design for healers, helpers, and holy troublemakers

Heart-centered digital projects for mission-driven people who are allergic to corporate shenanigans.


Your website isn’t just a tool; it’s a living, breathing extension of your values and mission.

My approach to web design and digital support goes beyond the technical. Grounded in the wisdom of spirituality, nature therapy, and The Work that Reconnects, I help you create digital spaces that foster connection and inspire action.

As Robin Wall Kimmerer reminds us, “All flourishing is mutual.” This principle guides my work—your success isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about creating a platform that nurtures your audience and allows everyone involved to thrive.

The Heart of My Work: A Holistic and Human-Centered Approach

Deep Listening Informs Every Step

Before diving into design, I take time to deeply understand you, your story, and your goals. Inspired by Glennon Doyle’s wisdom that “We can do hard things,” I approach each project with compassion and resilience, creating space to navigate challenges and discover clarity. Together, we’ll uncover what truly matters, ensuring your website is a reflection of your deepest purpose.

Engaging Hazel Knight of doinggoodwebsites.com to develop my website and design my logo was one of the best decisions I made. Her skills in digital media, combined with her passion for, and commitment to, working with those who place helping people rather than big profits at the centre of what they do were just what I needed. Hazel’s respectful questioning, suggestions, and supportive mentoring were invaluable. She has created a website which effectively communicates my skills, values and approach to helping authors. I recommend her without hesitation.

My colleagues and I lead a Maine-based organization that falls squarely in the “helpers, healers, and holy troublemakers” category, so when it was time to embrace the possibility — and frankly, the daunting task — of developing a new website, we knew Hazel was the designer we needed. From our very first conversation, Hazel instinctively understood who we were: our mission, our priorities, our values, and our vibe. She led our team through a deeply engaging four-day design sprint and then went right to work designing a website that is comprehensive and functional, yes, but also colorful, creative, visually compelling and versatile. Hazel is eminently collaborative, flexible, and wise. Highly recommend!

From the first draft, it was clear that Hazel had really listened to me. She guided the process with care, focusing on what truly matters to me while using her expertise to keep the message clear and accessible. She was open to feedback, added extra elements, and came up with great suggestions and beautiful design ideas. And she did it all in no time. At one point, she said, “I want the website to represent your heart.” What a beautiful intention to receive – her thoughtful approach made all the difference.

When I was looking for someone to design my therapy practice’s website, I needed a designer who could truly understand the heart behind my work with families and educators. Hazel took the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and immerse herself in my brand’s mission of providing compassionate and responsive services.

Her ability to translate my vision into a clear website is remarkable. From the calming color palette to the easy navigation, every element reflects the warmth and guidance I strive to offer. Her talent for design combined with her empathy for my work has been an invaluable partnership.

I’m incredibly grateful to have worked with a designer who sees beyond just aesthetics. Hazel’s commitment to deeply comprehending my brand’s purpose has given me a website that genuinely connects with the families and educators I serve.

We believe that there are very few web designers that lead with their heart and actually have the professional skills to follow through with the commitment. In the beginning, Hazel told us the price, timeline, requirements on our end and what she would be responsible for.

There were zero negative surprises but plenty of positivity along the way!

We did a soft launch with family, friends, and our Wild Church cohorts, and they expressed everything from, “well laid out and easy to navigate, beautiful colors, pictures convey the meaning of the text, epic, and very intuitive and inviting!”

If you are looking for well designed, beautiful, informative, and holistic website go no further.

We will be using Hazel for all of our web-based creative ideas not to mention we are referring her to basically everyone we come in contact with that needs a webpage.

I own an outpatient mental health clinic in Arkansas (USA), and it is so refreshing to work with someone who “gets” what inspires me, and who is inspired by the same values and accomplishments. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, marketing director for a heart-centered business, and you’re tired of having to explain why certain things are important to your business…Hazel is the web developer you need! Hazel has always been prompt, responsive, creative, and persistent in helping design, develop, and maintain my clinic’s website. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Spirituality as a Foundation for Meaningful Design

Grounded in ecospirituality, with a Master of Divinity, a background in pastoral care, I approach your project as sacred work. Your website becomes more than just a digital platform—it’s a space for meaningful connection, a sanctuary for your story, and a tool for inspiring transformation within your community and beyond.

Nature-Inspired Creativity

As a Certified Nature Therapy Guide, I draw upon the wisdom of the natural world to inform my designs. Just as ecosystems thrive through balance and mutual support, your digital presence will reflect harmony and collaboration. Like Kimmerer’s teachings, my work honors the interconnectedness of all things, crafting websites that resonate deeply with your audience.

Custom Solutions

Each heart-centered business is unique, reflecting the passion and commitment of the hearts and minds manifesting each project. I cultivate solutions to meet your specific needs, ensuring your website or social media presence represents your practice’s personality and purpose.

Support for Your Journey

Your wellness & entrepreneurial journey is continuous, and so is my support for your project. I offer ongoing maintenance and guidance to keep your digital landscape thriving, allowing you to focus on what you do best—helping others on their path to well-being.

And as Mary Oliver beautifully asks, “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” I believe your website should be a reflection of your answer—a place where your passion, mission, and vision come alive and inspire others.

Empowering User Experience

I prioritize your client’s experience and user engagement. By building a holistic profile of the people you home to help, we work together to anticipate the hopes and needs of anticipated clients to ensure that your website and other digital offerings will meet people where they are on their wellness journey, providing them with the resources and information they need to live a fuller and more balanced life.

Search Engine Optimization

A beautiful website is just the beginning. I integrate SEO best practices into your site, helping you reach a wider audience and make a meaningful impact on the wellness community.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

A beautiful website is just the beginning. I integrate SEO best practices into your site, helping you reach a wider audience and make a meaningful impact on the wellness community.

I am a certified nature therapy guide, a labyrinth facilitator, an outdoor chaplain, and a small business owner. And, I also happen to have over 20 years of experience tending digital landscapes through managing multimedia projects, building websites, directing digital strategy, and hosting online communities.  

I’m a wellpreneur with a calling to support other heart-centered, creative people as they manifest their own projects that help make the world a better place. I understand the desire to live according to right livelihood. What is right livelihood?

Thich Nhat Hanh describes it beautifully in his book, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teachings:

“To practice Right Livelihood, you have to find a way to earn your living
without transgressing your ideals of love and compassion.
The way you support yourself can be an expression of your deepest self,
or it can be a source of suffering for you and others….
Our vocation can nourish our understanding and compassion, or erode them.
We should be awake to the consequences, far and near, of the way we earn our living.”

I look forward to meeting you, and learning about your vocation and how I might be able to support your work in the world.
