About

Bea Rue is a freelance website builder, graphic designer, photographer, writer and marketing consultant with a mission of helping conscious small businesses grow! She's based in the mid Hudson Valley but also works with clients throughout NYC and beyond.

Too many profit at the expense of others and our planet.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

 

Recently I began taking inventory of my life, recognizing the shifts I could make to lessen my personal consumption and impact. Since we spend a quarter of our lives working, that was certainly an area demanding attention. So I left retail and begin my career freelancing for small businesses whose higher purpose transcends profit.

I believe in employing my skills and energy to empower others working to create positive change in our world. I support too-swamped entrepreneurs by breathing life into their brands and websites, allowing them to focus on the important work at hand. At the same time, I get to nurture my own entrepreneurial spirit while being creative and building truly meaningful relationships throughout my community. 

I strive to inform, delight and inspire by balancing content with design. I consider the details without losing sight of the big picture. I aim to see around corners while staying focused on the moment. I'm self directed but have over a decade of experience successfully working with teams. And while I've surely got bills to pay, I know it's my social responsibility to be selective about where I put my energy.

If you are an authentic, caring, transparent company or individual working to empower your customers, employees and community, I'd love to collaborate! We don’t live in a vacuum, so why should our work, right?
