Rachel Simms | Founder Broadbent Studio
Supporting Fempreneurs

Since 2015

I am passionate about helping fellow female entrepreneurs create strong visual presences. I can appreciate how much work and passion go into everything you do! As a graphic designer, I know the fundamental design skills to save my clients time and money by effectively creating designs that work for them and produce results. As a web designer, my skills and strategies bring your business to your customers in today’s climate. 

I am always trying to learn new skills by reading, attending workshops, and taking classes to keep my skills fresh and up to date.

When not designing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, Ellie, in the backyard, reading with a coffee or working in the garden. 🌸

From Our Clients

Rachel designed my brand and helped me with my website. She listened to my ideas and made great suggestions until we came up with the perfect design for my company, Rooted Weddings. Within a day of going live with my webpage, I had a wedding couple from Ireland hire my Ontario wedding officiant services. I recommend her for your needs, and she will help your business excel!

Founder and Wedding Officiant, Rooted Weddings

It was wonderful working with Rachel. She really listened to me to hear what my unique vision would be, and then she captured it perfectly in the website she built. In addition, she walked me through every step of the process and left me with the tools to revise my site independently. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

I loved the process contained within about 12 weeks with a really clear focus each week. I loved Rachel’s ability to take my thoughts and convert them into something so very beautiful. I’m so very happy with the final product. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and I feel set-up to take on some of the website upkeep on my own.

Dependable & Accountable

As a solo fempreneur, I understand firsthand that it is essential to communicate promptly. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting for a reply and not knowing the next steps. While working with me, I strive to reply to all client communication within 24-48 hours.

I also aim to work with only a few clients at once. This guarantees they are confident in the process, knowledgeable about the next steps and feel my full support during our time together.
