WELCOME to my sunny corner of the web
Hey, I’m Sammy - crafter of digital homes for businesses doing good in the world. I’m here to make sure that you don’t have to build yours alone.
That’s why I captured The Sunlight for you.
BUILT BY me. FINISHED BY you. SUPPORTED all the way.
You don’t need a complicated platform, a faceless AI tool, or a big agency budget to create a digital space your customers can dive right into. You just need the right foundation and a real human (that’s me) in your corner to show you how.
DIY-ing is great, until it’s not. That easy ‘drag and drop’ suddenly feels hard when things start looking not-so-professional. Hours of work tweaking and fiddling only to end up with something you don’t feel proud of.
The Sunlight Kohlective is designed to solve all that - and more.
Why I built The Sunlight Kohlective for you
Before opening the doors to The Sunlight Kohlective I spent years running my own brand & web design studio, Kohlab Creative.
Working closely with therapists, counsellors, nutritionists, fitness studios and coaches, I loved helping these mission-led founders to shine online, but I also wanted to provide a more supported alternative to website templates.
So I took everything I learned from building high-converting digital spaces and baked that in to my templates.
When you choose one of The Sunlight Kohlective’s Squarespace templates, you aren't just buying a layout. You are stepping straight into The Resort & Sunseekers Community - your very own resource library and supportive space.
It’s hard building a business alone, but here you don’t have to. I am right there with you to answer questions on live calls or within the community (there are no silly questions here), smooth over any tech bumps, and guide you all the way to launch day and beyond.

“Sammy is an absolute star - a consummate professional, who really knows her stuff, and is unfailingly lovely, kind and supportive to those she works with.
I feel very lucky to have found her - she made the experience of creating my website and setting up in practice 1000 times better than it would otherwise have been."
- Sophie Bold, Humanistic Therapist
I’m proud to be a self-taught web designer
If you’re feeling a bit out of your depth with the tech I’m here for you.
As a self-taught brand and web designer I built my design studio on intuition, the love of being creative and my fierce belief in independent businesses. And have navigated my own tech learning curves.
But my eye for digital strategy and curation was honed in another career. Before stepping out on my own, I spent 15 years in the international art auction industry.
As an art specialist, I trained my eye to understand balance, design and how visuals can create deep connections and evoke emotions.
As Global Head of Digital Sales, it was my job to develop new markets, understand how people make buying decisions, and help people to navigate buying online.
The Sunlight Kohlective templates bring you the best of both worlds - artisanal craft and years of digital strategy, making sure your website provides a solid business foundation.
