About Leah

Creative Consultant for Door County Businesses
Photography | Website | Design | Socials

I'm Leah Karrels, based in Sturgeon Bay, helping Door County business owners with the stuff that gets pushed to the back burner—website development, social media management, photography, graphic design, and the day-to-day digital tasks that keep your business running smoothly.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me at the pottery wheel—I try to get into the studio at least once a week. I'm drawn to all kinds of hands-on creative work: designing jewelry, block printing, watercolor painting, and more. Growing up on the Niagara Escarpment, I was inspired by family at a young age to search for fossils and rocks along our lakeshores. That sense of discovery still drives me today, whether I'm on a photography hike, exploring the beach, or traveling somewhere new.

What I do differently: I base every strategy on real data—your current audience, your goals, and where you want to grow. Strategic moves, not wild guesses. With a background in digital marketing and over six years of experience in the creative field across Wisconsin, I've worked with art galleries, boutiques, interior design firms, antique shops, farmers' markets, and other diverse businesses since founding my business in 2019.

I specialize in professional photography, Shopify and Squarespace website development and management, social media management, graphic design, and business consulting—bringing Door County businesses and beyond the ability to sell online year-round. I also handle the behind-the-scenes digital management that businesses often struggle with, like keeping Google Business and Yelp profiles accurate and up-to-date. I can handle it all digitally while you run your business. I work with business owners of all ages and any level of technology comfort.

I thrive behind the camera and computer, making my clients feel comfortable and confident while I handle everything behind the scenes. Let's work together to create a strategy that feels authentic to your brand and actually drives results.
