My name is Maleka Vrana, and I run a boutique design studio based in Aspen, Colorado that specializes in purpose-driven WordPress, Squarespace, and Shopify websites. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and 16 years in the industry, I bring together my background in design and client services to support small to medium-sized established businesses. The websites I design and build have a simple, clean, and functional aesthetic. I create websites that are a reflection of you and your brand. My individualized attention is why clients love working with Maleka Designs—and why they keep coming back.
The majority of my clients are based in the Roaring Fork Valley. I enjoy forming strong connections with the businesses I work with, and once your website is launched, we continue to collaborate as your business grows and evolves. I become a trusted part of your team.
I have always had a passion for design and enjoyed the year I spent in Prague studying photography and print design. After college I moved to Colorado to follow my dream of being a ski instructor. In 2005, after a few years of teaching skiing and bartending at the Caribou Club I enrolled at The New School in New York to hone my design skills and tackle coding. Maleka Designs was founded in 2007. I continuously develop my expertise through websites, blogs, social media, WordCamps and am the co founder of the WordPress Meetup in Aspen. This fall I am excited to be invited to the SquareSpace Circle event in New York!
I work hard and play hard. Life is better when you are doing what you love. If I am not at my desk you can find me skiing Aspen mountain, hiking Highlands Bowl, skinning to Bonnies for pancakes, playing tennis, doing yoga, running, swimming or doing anything outside. I love what I do and am personally connected to everything I create. That passion is what drives me towards creating truly great products. I pride myself on making the web a more beautiful place.
I know how important your website is to your business, and am dedicated to giving you my full attention.
