I design websites and visual identities for businesses that want something considered — built to actually represent them, not just to exist online.
Custom-built sites that load fast, look stunning on every screen, and are designed around one goal — converting visitors into customers.
Your full visual language — logo, colour, typography, and usage rules — so you're instantly recognizable everywhere you show up.
Marks, icon systems, and print-ready graphics that look sharp at every size — from a favicon to a full-face billboard.
Charts, dashboards, and infographics that make complex data genuinely beautiful — and impossible to ignore.
Monthly care plans to keep your site fast, secure, and freshly updated. You run your business — I handle the tech.
For businesses that need a clean, fast presence online — one page, one goal, done right.
A full website built around your business — the kind that makes people stay, explore, and reach out.
Everything in Multi-page, plus a complete visual identity — logo, colour, type, and brand guidelines.
All projects include a free 30-minute discovery call. No jargon, no pressure — just a conversation about what you need.

Most small businesses deserve a better website than they have. I'm here to fix that — without the agency price tag.
I'm Emily, a Seattle-based designer with a degree from the University of Washington and a background in brand identity, web design, and visual systems. I started Maneki Studio because I kept seeing local businesses with outdated sites, no sites, or sites that looked like everyone else's. You've put years into your business. Your website should show it.
Every project I take on is built from scratch around your business — not dropped into a template. I handle the design, the build, and the launch. You stay focused on what you actually do.

We spend 30 minutes talking about your business, your customers, and what's not working online. No jargon, no pressure. You leave with clarity — even if we don't work together.
Within a week, you see a full design direction — colors, typography, layout, the works. You give feedback. We refine together until every detail feels exactly right.
I build your site clean, fast, and mobile-perfect. You get a walkthrough before we go live. Then we flip the switch together — and you actually feel proud to send people to your URL.
Optional monthly care plans for updates, security, and performance. Think of it as having a designer on speed dial — without the retainer headaches.
Let's build something your competitors wish they'd thought of first.
