Today we’d like to introduce you to Samin.
Hi Samin, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and Informatics from Mercer University, I discovered that while I loved technology, what I was truly passionate about was design, and more importantly, using design to help businesses grow. I realized that many small businesses were struggling to establish a professional online presence, and I wanted to be the person who could make that process easier and more effective for them.
I started by helping local businesses with basic website design and branding, using what I’d learned in school and combining it with a creative eye for aesthetics and user experience. As I continued to work with clients, I began to see how much impact a clean, modern design could have on a company’s credibility and success. That realization pushed me to expand my services beyond just websites, focusing on helping businesses build a complete and polished digital identity.
Today, I’m dedicated to supporting businesses through design driven solutions that not only look great but also help them connect with customers and grow their brand.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road, but that’s part of what has made the journey so rewarding. One of the biggest challenges early on was finding consistent clients and establishing credibility in a competitive industry. When you’re just starting, it’s hard to stand out, and it takes time to build a portfolio that truly reflects your abilities.
Another struggle was balancing learning and execution. As technology and design trends change rapidly, I had to constantly update my skills while still delivering high quality work for clients. There were times when I had to take on projects that pushed me outside my comfort zone, but those moments ended up being some of the most valuable learning experiences.
Finally, like many business owners, I had to learn how to manage the business side of things, not just the creative side. From pricing services fairly to handling client expectations, there were lessons that I only learned through trial and error.
We’ve been impressed with Studio Dernier, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business focuses on helping small businesses and entrepreneurs build a professional and polished online presence through website design, custom coding, and logo/brand design. What people should know is that I don’t just create a pretty website, I build custom digital solutions that work exactly the way each business needs.
I’m known for clean, modern designs that look professional and function seamlessly. What sets my brand apart is the blend of creative design and technical skill. Because I understand both the visual side and the technical side, I’m able to deliver websites that not only look great but also perform well and meet specific business goals.
Brand wise, I’m most proud of helping businesses establish a strong identity online, from logo design to a full website build. I take pride in crafting designs that reflect a company’s personality and values, helping them stand out in a crowded market.
What I want readers to know is that my services are designed for businesses that want a high quality digital presence without the stress of managing it themselves. I’m here to bring their vision to life with thoughtful design, custom functionality, and a professional finish.
