WELCOME TO YOUR DIGITAL STUDIO—Concept 02 is an intentionally simple Squarespace template to leave room for self-expression, elevate your work, and establish a digital presence as an artist. Follow the template’s existing framework for ease of use, or experiment and play with your own designs. I invite you to find the solution that works best for you and your work.

Follow the step-by-step tutorials below to learn the basics of the Squarespace platform and to design, customize and launch your website. If at any time you find yourself needing additional support, Squarespace has wonderful tutorials available. Find them here. If you still can’t find the answer to your question or find yourself stuck, please reach out to me and I’d be happy to help.

Please visit the Concept 02 Notion doc guide ahead of time for a simple and organized system to prepare for the customization process, and to cultivate a pleasurable experience while doing so.
