Hey, I’m lara
the DESIGNER behind birch & bud design co.
When I was a TA, I quickly realized that standing out from online booking sites — and even other advisors — required more than great service. I needed a space of my own.
A website that legitimized my offers, showcased my specializations, educated potential clients, and pre-qualified the people who truly valued expertise over convenience.
So I built one — learning as I went, spending late nights refining, testing, and rebuilding until it felt right. Let me tell you, it’s a process.
When the travel industry came to a standstill in 2020, I took what I learned and invested in branding and web design courses. What started as a necessity became Birch & Bud Design Co. — a studio dedicated to helping TAs like you create websites that work and reflect your business, without the drama of doing it all yourself.
