Hello, I’m Ishbel - a jewellery maker turned website designer based in Glasgow.

For the past 17+ years I’ve been figuring out the ups and downs of running a creative business and now, I am sharing what I’ve learnt. I'm totally passionate about helping other small business owners feel less stuck, less lonely and more in control.

My goal? To give you the tools, skills and confidence to just do the thing and try to curb the overthinking.

My Work

I come from a jewellery designer/maker background, where I split my time between Izzy Daze - my line of colourful, playful laser-cut jewellery - and Ishbel Watson Studio where I make clean, geometric silver designs and teach silver jewellery making classes in my Glasgow workshop.

Along the way, I discovered I absolutely love making websites - I know, weird right? Every time I chat to other business owners, web design is often one of those things they hate with a passion. But I love it, my brain just seems to get it.

You can sign up to the Design by Ish mailing list to be kept up to date with all things websites, teaching and small biz advice.

My Vibe

I'm all about cutting out the faff and the noise, and just getting the thing done. Which is a challenge in this busy, overstimulating world that we live in. You can expect a no nonsense but never too serious approach from me. And I'm a friendly soul so feel free to reach out if there's a small business website related challenge that you're struggling with. 🌞
