You noticed the website.
I like you already. 

If you found your way here through the site credit on a website I designed, you're in the right place.

I'm Janica, the designer behind Refined + Golden — a Charlotte-based Squarespace design studio helping solopreneurs and mompreneurs turn their ideas into polished, intentional online spaces they're proud to share.

The website that brought you here started with someone's vision.

Yours can, too.

Beautiful

is only the beginning

Your website should look good, of course. But it should also make running and growing your business a little easier.

Simplicity without Sacrifice

A beautiful, professional website without complicated tech, overwhelming options, or more than you actually need.

Confidence

in your brand

A few transformations …

Different businesses. Different visions.
Each one intentionally designed to feel like its own.

A LITTLE something FOR YOUR inbox.

Notes from Refined + Golden

Thoughts on websites, business, design, and building something of your own — delivered with intention, not just because the content calendar says it's time to send an email.

The Curator

Four times a year, I slow things down a little more.

The Curator is Refined + Golden's quarterly editorial letter — part business, part life, and a reflection on what I'm learning, loving, and carrying into the season ahead.

I'm Janica

and the designer and founder behind Refined + Golden.

My path to web design wasn't exactly a straight line, but the common thread has always been the same: I love taking someone's vision and helping make it real.

Today, I create clean, minimalist Squarespace websites for solopreneurs and mompreneurs who are ready to stop putting off their online presence and have a website they're genuinely proud to share.

No complicated tech. No endless revisions. Just thoughtful design that works quietly in the background while you get back to doing what you do best.

You found me through someone else's website.

Maybe yours is the next one we create.

  • Janica is outstanding. I loved the way I was able to give her some ideas on what I was looking for, and she created something truly magical. She told me exactly how long it would take, and she was totally on point. As a businessman who expects professionalism and accountability when I work with someone, on a scale of 1-10, Janica was a 12.
