DESIGN WITH HEART π FUN. CREATIVE. YOU. π‘
HI, IβM ZUZANNA!
I build result-driven Squarespace websites that celebrate your unique story
No matter how messy or early-stage your ideas are, youβll feel supported every step of the way.
Fun fact: my design journey didnβt start in a studio β it started on a sunny island, building websites for my online language coaching business. π What began as a practical detour during the pandemic quickly became my passion: teaching myself branding, web design, and everything in between. From HTML, CSS, and Squarespace quirks to full-blown client projects, I learned by doing, and loving every chaotic, creative minute of it.
With Jolie Vibes Studio, I create spaces where founders feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether itβs a full custom website design, SEO magic, or a one-day Design Day sprint, I make it approachable, fun, and authentic β with cultural awareness baked in, thanks to my travel, language skills, and love for diversity. π«
Languages I Speak Fluently π
Working with clients all over the world means language matters β and chances are, we already share one π
Iβve successfully guided founders across continents to turn their visions into websites they love.
Polish
English
Spanish
Dutch
And a few bonus languages I can understand quite a bit of:
French
Portuguese
German
Italian
From Law Books to Languages to Design
(a.k.a. a not-so-linear path, and exactly the right one!)

Left Comfort & Home at 18 βοΈ
At 18, I left Poland for the Netherlands to βstudy and come back.β I studied European Union, Dutch, English, German, and French laws, and specialized in business law and entrepreneurship. Alongside my studies, I worked nonstop to support myself β cafΓ©s, Michelin-starred restaurants, prestigious hotels, retail, even university marketing. Somewhere between case law and customer service, a quiet thought appeared: I want to build something of my own.
Graduated & Wandered π
After earning my Bachelorβs in EU Law, I did what felt natural: I traveled. During university, I escaped whenever I could β weekend trips and short, sunny adventures across Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, and Italy. After graduating, I kept going, knowing one thing for sure: I couldnβt imagine a life in a gray, rainy country, working full-time just to wait for vacation.
Got Stuck On an Island βοΈ
I moved to Gran Canaria βjust for 6 months.β Then COVID happened β and I stayed for almost 5 years on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. What couldβve felt like being stuck turned into a turning point. On the island, I became a self-employed online language coach, teaching English and Dutch to Polish expats abroad. My goal was simple: help people build better lives abroad. That little business ended up changing everything + I speak Spanish now!
Languages to Design π§
While running my language business, I started teaching myself web design and development. HTML, CSS, a bit of JavaScript (hello, languages in a different form!). I built my own website, learning materials, resources, flashcards, posters, digital products, and even online courses. I mastered my custom-coded Squarespace (and its quirks), booking systems, online payments, and slowly realized I was spending more and more time designing than teaching.
From Hustle to Design π¨
Because I built everything myself, design naturally became my (5th!) language. People started asking for help. One project turned into another β websites, typography, color palettes, layouts, systems. What began as tools for my own business evolved into work for clients. Somewhere along the way, design stopped being a side skill and became the thing.
And Here I Am! β¨
After Gran Canaria came a summer in Madeira (to learn some Portuguese), then back to the Canaries, and eventually mainland Spain: MΓ‘laga and Burgos. Today, Iβm a web designer based in sunny AlmerΓa, Spain, combining strategy, storytelling, and design. My path was shaped by law, languages, travel, and a whole lot of self-teaching β not the plan I started with, but absolutely the one that feels right!
I believe you should choose a designer you can imagine yourself hanging out with
I bring the same joy and curiosity to your brand as I do to life π
β£
π Roots & Wanderlust
Born in Poland, raised to chase curiosity, and now based in sunny AlmerΓa, Spain. Iβve lived in various cities in the Netherlands, Paris, Gran Canaria, Madeira, MΓ‘laga, Burgosβ¦ and honestly, Iβm still figuring out which streets Iβd call home forever.
π Adventures (Offline & Wild)
Traveling lights me up. Iβve explored 21 countries solo, and Morocco takes the crown: backpacking, riding camels, sandboarding, drinking tea under the Sahara stars. But I also love the small adventures: day trips, weekend escapes, discovering secret beaches, or wandering a city without a map.
π£οΈ The Polyglot Life
I speak Polish, English, Spanish, and Dutch fluently, and can charm my way through Portuguese, French, and German. Languages arenβt just work tools β theyβre keys to new perspectives, new friendships, and countless βahaβ moments in daily life.
πΎ Animal Kingdom
I love all animals. As a kid, nothing was safe: frogs, giant snails, hamsters, rats, parrots, turtles, three dogs at onceβ¦ you name it. My dogs even had puppies, and yes, I was home alone for the birth once (special bond alert). Today, Tommy and Joy β my two βfailed fosterβ cats β basically tiny four-legged CEOs in backpacks. Perfect home? A mini zoo, and I wouldnβt have it any other way!
π Sweet & Simple Joys
I have a soft spot for cheesecakesβ¦ especially blueberry ones! Anything fruity β coconut, papaya, watermelon, strawberries β and Iβm happy. My favorite ritual? Grab one on the way to the beach, spoon in hand, sit by the sea, and slowly devour it while reading. Heaven is simple, sweetβ¦ and a little messy!
πΌ Speed, Stickers & Chaos
I read obsessively β psychology, business, personal development. I rediscovered childhood joy in stickers. And yes, I rollerblade. Big time. Where? Everywhere. Birthday weekend in Madrid? 70β―km in three days. Valentineβs in Mallorca? 30β―km in two. Somehow, I make design, speed, and self-improvement coexist β and love every chaotic, fun minute of it!
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
And hereβs my pinky promise π€
π
Less Stress. More Fun.
Designing your Squarespace website should feel joyful, not like a chore. I make it easy, enjoyable, and low-stress. Donβt worry β we still get things done π€ Iβm backed by experience, and a lot of trial and error (mostly on myself first!).
π
Quality That Works
Cookie-cutter templates? Not here. Every project starts with discovery: your story, vibe, and goals. Revisions arenβt guesswork β they perfect your vision. Result: design that looks amazing, works flawlessly, and feels like you.
π
Honest Partner, Always
I wonβt just say βyesβ to everything β I care about your results. I guide, advise, and solve creatively. Think of me as your strategic partner in crime (or design π), not just a service provider.
Weβre not a great fit ifβ¦
Youβre looking for βjust a designβ and want to skip strategy (yep, thatβs the secret sauce).
β
You want something stiff, corporate, or totally βbeen there, done thatβ β I like to keep things fresh and memorable.
β
Youβre not open to a little honest guidance or creative nudging β weβre a team, not a yes-man factory.
β
If youβre looking for full custom design on a β¬500 budget, we wonβt be the right fit π . Quality work takes time, strategy, and expertise.
β
Weβre a great match ifβ¦
Youβre decisive, down for a fast-paced (but fun) process, and ready to laugh along the way.
βοΈ
Youβve got a vision, but youβre open to a friendly guidance β the kind that makes it all better.
βοΈ
You want a personality-packed design that actually feels like you β not just another template.
βοΈ
Youβre a product-based biz, service provider, or all-around personality-packed human, and you want your brand to be as fun as it is functional.

A Few Things You Might Be Wondering
-
Not at all β thatβs usually where the best projects start.
You donβt need perfectly formed thoughts or polished words. My role is to help you untangle ideas, find clarity, and turn instinct into something intentional and structured. Iβve guided dozens of founders from scattered ideas to websites they truly love, and weβll build this together, step by step.
-
No β and Iβm intentional about that.
I take my work seriously, but not myself. You wonβt be talked down to, rushed, or expected to βknow the right answers.β Iβve worked with a wide range of clients, and my goal is to make this space calm, human, and judgment-free β so you can feel safe showing up as yourself.
-
Most people arenβt β and thatβs perfectly okay.
Readiness often shows up after the first step, not before it. If something here resonates, thatβs enough to start a conversation. Iβve guided clients from curiosity to clarity countless times β and youβll be supported every step of the way.
-
My goal is the opposite: to remove weight, not add it.
Youβll get structure, guidance, and clear next steps β without chaos or unnecessary decisions. Many clients tell me this ends up feeling lighter than expected, because everything is organized, intentional, and designed to make your life easier.
-
Not at all β itβs part of the process.
You donβt need design vocabulary or references. I ask the right questions, listen carefully, and translate your values and personality into visuals that feel natural, aligned, and easy. Having guided dozens of clients from βI have no ideaβ to βthis is exactly me,β I know this will feel effortless.
-
Absolutely β and thatβs why I only work with a limited number of clients at a time.
I donβt believe in rushed, transactional projects. I care about the people behind the brands and how this work fits into their lives and businesses. Youβll feel seen, understood, and supported β because Iβm invested in your success.
-
Thatβs okay β and it happens sometimes.
I value honesty over forcing something that doesnβt feel right. Clear communication goes both ways, and thatβs what creates a process that feels safe, respectful, and actually enjoyable. Trust me β Iβve helped clients recognize the right timing or the right approach countless times.
-
Just reach out. Send me a message or a book a free call β no pressure, no commitment.
Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to feel the clarity, excitement, and confidence that this is exactly the right next step. Youβre in safe hands.
If youβve made it this farβ¦ chances are, this will feel surprisingly easy, fun & exactly right
