Natasha Goldenhands
Brand Identity, Website Development & Creative Coaching

Natasha Goldenhands began as an effort to help a talented home baker expand her growing Instagram presence into a more fully developed brand and online platform.

Natasha’s work spans baking, knitting, gardening, and teaching, making the early stages of the project less about simply building a website and more about clarifying the identity and focus of the brand itself. One of the first steps was developing a name that could hold the breadth of her creative work while still feeling personal and memorable.

I proposed the name “Natasha Goldenhands” as a way to capture both her warmth and her wide-ranging creative abilities. From there, I developed a visual identity inspired by the fluid, evolving nature of handmade work. The logo references both the movement of dough and the organic shapes formed during the baking process, while the circular forms echo the bubbles of sourdough starter and the joyfulness of creative experimentation.

The website was developed collaboratively over time through a series of weekly working sessions focused on content development, structure, design, and platform education. Rather than building the entire site independently and handing it off, the process was intentionally paced to help Natasha gradually develop confidence in shaping and maintaining her own online presence.

My role included naming, brand identity development, Squarespace website design, content guidance, visual direction, and ongoing coaching around website organization and content creation.

The project reflects my interest in helping creative entrepreneurs move from informal social media presence toward a more cohesive and sustainable brand ecosystem that they can continue to evolve independently over time.

“Working with Gleena Studios was easy and headache-free. Asya and I met to discuss my preferences and views on my future website. Asya was on it right away! Her initial proposal met all my expectations and even more. I was happy with the color palette, content, and the website’s user experience.”
