About Us

We didn't plan to start
an agency - it found us.

MW Design Studio is a two-person creative studio built for small businesses who want real partnership, not just another vendor. We combine strategy with creativity to help you build a digital presence that actually feels like you.

Our Story

How it all started

In late 2024, we were asked to help Believers' Gathering Place - a small church in Raleigh, NC - with their website and social media. Neither of us had ever done anything like this professionally. But we said yes anyway.

That one project changed everything. We learned by doing. We made mistakes. We figured things out. And somewhere along the way, we realized we were building something bigger than a single project.

We discovered that small businesses and organizations often get overlooked. They either can't afford big agencies or end up with cookie-cutter templates that don't reflect who they really are. We wanted to change that.

So MW Design Studio was born - not from a business plan, but from a real need we saw and a genuine desire to help.

Meet the Team

Two people. One vision.

We're not a faceless agency. When you work with MW Design Studio, you work directly with us - Sheri and Tierra. That's it. No account managers, no handoffs, no getting lost in the shuffle.

Tierra White

Tierra is the voice. She leads social media management, content planning, and everything that keeps your brand visible and engaging online. With a natural talent for storytelling and an understanding of what makes people connect, she brings brands to life on social platforms.
