Making Treasures

Hey! I am Sophia.

I am an artist 🎨 + website guru ⌨️, and I am passionate about helping your creative businesses thrive online.

From drawing on walls at 1 year old (yes, I was THAT child), to learning to code since 6th grade, I have been creating things digitally and traditionally for as long as I can remember. From online stores, blogs, illustrations, to wall tapestries. I have done it all.

Not only that, I went on to work professionally as a web developer and designer for 10+ years. Coding and design? That’s my jam!

Today, I am here to share all that I’ve learned in this space — and more, to help creatives like you craft an online home that stands out, but most importantly, one that works the way you want.

After auditing hundreds of websites in my career, I know all too well the frustration that is faced by many on a daily basis: broken pages, theme issues, page looking weird in mobile, elements not rendering… And worst of all: when no one is actually going to your website!

Which brings me... to you!

I created Making Treasures as a one-stop-shop for all your website needs. Looking for coding help? You got it. Looking for SEO strategies? Yup. Looking for done-for-you graphics and code snippets? It's all here!

...And the best part? You won't need to pull out your hair here, #winwin! 🎉

Here's why it matters
Dive into my mission

As an INFJ, it lights me up when I witness the impact I have made to make someone's life easier. I believe each of us is meant to pursue the things we are best at to the fullest potential, rather than the things that don't give us joy.

I have been an artist all my life. Despite my mostly technology-facing career and looking at code most of my life, I am so grateful to have found my happy place at the intersection between these two vastly different yet profoundly intertwined subjects.

But, I know it is not as simple as that for many of us who loves either one or the other. And that's going to change because you're here now, and this space is all about serving you where you are at —

🥂

Here's to making life easier for you and your business!

"One of the most creative woman I know."

"Sophia is always on the look out for the next creative endeavor — in fact, you would often find her knee-deep with a slew of crafty projects on the go (maybe too many at times)! The way her eyes lit up when she's passionate about something, you can't help but feel that positive energy and be inspired yourself."

— Michael B, Husband + No.1 Supporter

Some interesting facts

Originally from Toronto, I recently made the move across the continent to ☁️ Seattle, WA with my husband and our 4-year-old furbaby, Mochi.

When I am not outside, you'd usually find me with my iPad in one hand and my craft supplies the other. My favorite crafty medium is digital art, followed closely by fiber arts (think: hand weaving, macramé, crochet). I would love to hold a workshop to teach others the latter someday!

I love being out there with nature. 🌿 Something about the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling just give me all the good vibes and comfort in the world. And if you add the sound of waves breaking onto the shore, I might just pass out from #purebliss.

I met my husband while on vacation in Greece, so needless to say travel is a huge part of our lives together. Although we haven't travelled a whole lot in recent years, I am always dreaming of the next adventure.
