I’m Christina!

hi there

THE HEART BEHIND THE GREENHAUS STUDIO.

Christina Hellman, owner of Greenhaus Studio, sitting on a wooden stool, smiling at the camera while holding an ipad. The background is styled with plants and greenery.

Born in Hanau, Germany, raised by Filipino parents, and now planting roots (pun very intended) in the lower Hudson Valley with my husband, two dogs (Sakona & Kaleya - the worst but most adorable employees!), and more houseplants AND books than I’ll admit to in writing.

I'm the kind of person who gets way too excited about a well-designed website, reorganizes my plant/bookshelf more than is reasonable, and will absolutely talk your ear off about fonts if you let me. When I'm not deep in a client's site, you'll find me with my nose in a book, out exploring with my family, or hosting Beacon’s Silent Book Club - You should totally join! ;)

Here’s my quick life story
How I ended up here

"Here" as in New York, specifically— my husband is active-duty military, and in 2024 the Army sent our family to West Point, NY. So, for now, we call the Hudson Valley home. And I’m not mad about it!

Former executive assistant turned Squarespace web designer, professional plant mom, and firm believer that your website should feel as good as your business does.

How I got into web design

Career-wise, it wasn't part of the plan. I was working as a multilingual executive assistant when I got handed the "hey, can you fix our website?" task back in 2019. No pressure, right? Turns out I loved it — like, rearrange-my-whole-career loved it. And with how often we move, that turned out to be perfect timing: 99% of the time, moving meant quitting my job and starting over from scratch — so a portable career I could build for myself? Yes please.

So I taught myself everything: design, layout, and all the weird little Squarespace quirks nobody warns you about, backed up by a stack of online courses on actually running a web design business. Since then, I've built sites for businesses of all kinds, and I still get the same rush every single launch day.

So, let's take "build my website" off your to-do list — you focus on running your business, I'll handle the rest.
