Home has never been one place for me. So I learned how to build it.
I'm Leina, a brand and Showit website designer who helps women service-based business owners build a digital home that feels as warm and established as the business behind it.
come on in...
Every move meant starting over… new country, new apartment, new routines, new people. Somewhere along the way I realized home isn't a fixed place. It's a feeling you create on purpose.
I grew up in international schools in Japan, and I've lived across four countries and three continents since.
That's exactly how I think about your website.
I wanted to be sure I'd tried it ALL before deciding what I actually wanted.
By 30, I was ready for a new compass... my own values and desires, not the "safe" path I thought I should take.
So I took a chance on myself. I quit my job, got engaged, sold our furniture, packed our suitcases, and booked a one-way ticket to Europe.
For my entire 20s, I let my career be my compass.
my not-so-straight path
And through every detour, there was one thing I kept coming back to: design.
So I built leinameg studio around it... my own business, doing the work that lights me up most, for women building businesses on their own terms.
By 30, I was ready for a new compass... my own values and desires, not the "safe" path I thought I should take.
I love the moment a website goes live… when I hit publish and my client finally gets to send her new link with confidence.
And I've always been fascinated by the psychology behind WHY someone clicks, scrolls or books. Years of designing apps and websites for millions of people taught me exactly that: where people pause, what makes them trust you, and what finally makes them reach out.
So when you trust me with your business, I'm thinking about you AND the clients you're hoping to reach. The one scrolling late at night, wishing she could find someone who truly gets it. I'll help her see that she has. And you'll finally have a home online that feels as warm as working with you does.
Because the design and tech that drain you are the parts that feel like home to me.
so, why websites?
