Our Story
Hi, friend! I’m Siska Hines, the owner of Good Lime Studio. We are a multi-disciplinary design consulting business run from my studio home office located in the ever sunny Goodyear, Arizona🌵. We cater to all your graphics, websites, and product design needs!
Founded in June 2018 with a mission to help small business owners and mid-sized companies grow with a clear on-brand marketing strategy customized for your business. For me, clarity is key. I simplify your website design strategy, so all you get is a seamless process from start to finish.
My favorite website tool for DIY-ers and small businesses is Squarespace. Easy to edit and simply gorgeous. Plus, you get 20% off the first 12 months of your Squarespace plan subscription when you work with me. Sweet deal, right!? 😄
Humble Beginnings
I’m originally from Indonesia and left home when I was twelve to live in various countries before I ended up in Iowa. I graduated with a B.A. in Marketing Management from the University of Northern Iowa (go Panthers!).
After graduation, I moved out to San Diego, and I started a fast-paced career in sales and marketing. I loved the thrill of the chase, but I felt so lost and needed to “find myself.” So I went back to school to pursue my passion in the creative field and fell in love with graphic and web design. And it has been over 12 years since I started as a humble freelancer helping small businesses in San Diego.
Around 4 years ago, I became a certified UX (User Experience) designer and a Senior Product Designer designing consumer-facing SaaS (Software as a Service) products for the tech world. I gained so much UI/UX product design skills, user market research, software development, and marketing. Knowing I have helped the lives of millions of people worldwide using those apps was all but worth it! But I was on autopilot, getting burnt out and not growing. So I decided to exit that world and opened Good Lime Studio in 2018.
Over a decade of skills and experience has made me a well-rounded web consultant and multi-disciplinary designer. I’m thrilled to share my knowledge and serve my fellow small business owners.
Lime Obsession
The lime imagery has always been a part of my design identity since my early freelancing days. I was known as the "squeeze of lime girl” for my burst of endless energy and crazy creative ideas. And I fell in love with this lime identity.
Fast forward to today, you can say that the young lime has ripened into a “good lime.” So when it came time to decide on the name of my new web design business, "Good Lime Studio" seemed like a good choice. Plus, the word “Good” also pays homage to the city where it was founded: Goodyear, AZ. Hence, the lime became our brand identity and grew into a symbol for a mouthwatering website that sells.
Talk to me if you have a design project or need consulting. I can’t wait to chat with you soon! 😊
