1. You’re not alone (welcome to an entire community of millennial girl bosses chasing their dreams and building killer online business – ahem, like our sweet interviewee today!)
2. You don’t need to be a coder – Say whaaat?! Yep, you heard that right. Web design has just gotten a whole lot more simple…and fun if you ask us! Keep readin’ to find out more.

Getting Started with Squarespace Guide
Name: Paige Brunton
Current Location: Hanover, Germany (Paige’s hometown is Toronto, Canada!)
Business: Squarespace Website Design at The Paige Studio
3 Girl Boss Must-Haves:
1. The Calm App – I meditate daily, meditation is what turned my business around from hot mess to success, and the Calm app helps greatly with this!
2. My Pineapple Simplified Planner – I’ve recorded every important to do and date in a planner for years, and I’m not ready to go fully digital yet, so my planner comes everywhere with me. Plus, it has gold pineapples and is adorable, so I love both using it and admiring how cute it is.
3. Background Noise – I’m such a multi tasker that my brain gets bored when it’s just doing one thing, so if I’m designing a website I always have something playing in the background. A Spotify playlist, a podcast (love The Strategy Hour and Goal Digger) a YouTube video (Sailing La Vegabond is SO great – I want their lives!), or of course, the ever classic Gilmore Girls (#TeamLogan).
