Imagine waking up to a notification that a new order has arrived!!!
This could be you!
YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR SQUARESPACE WEBSITE, BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS!
"How long does it take to build a website?"
"What if I'm not tech-savvy?"
"Can I update my website easily?"
"How will my website help me sell more art?"
"What if I don't know what I want my website to look like?"
"Will my website be mobile-friendly?"
“How much will it cost?”
"Can I integrate my social media with my website?"
"What happens if I need to make changes after the website is live?"
OVERWHELMED
STRESSED
OVERWORKED
DISORGANIZED
You're passionate about your art, but every time you think about working on your website and DIYing it, you feel overwhelmed and stressed out. The technical details, design choices, and constant updates leave you feeling stuck and frustrated.
Trying to manage orders in your Instagram DMs is a time-consuming hassle. People ask a bunch of questions, and then you have to get their contact details and process payments manually. All the back-and-forth communication is exhausting and leaves you with less time for creating art.
You’re constantly juggling your corporate job, your art, and trying to maintain an online presence. The pressure to keep up with everything is wearing you down, and you often find yourself working late into the night, sacrificing your personal time and peace of mind.

✔️ To have a stunning, professionally designed website that beautifully showcases your art and captivates collectors at first glance.
✔️ To free up your time to focus on creating art while your website seamlessly handles the technical aspects, leaving you stress-free.
✔️ To have an efficient, smooth ordering process through your website that provides a pleasant experience for your collectors and saves you valuable time.

Hi, I'm Marlis Dsouza,
the creative mind behind ArtsyByM.
As an artist and web designer, I blend my passion for art and technology to help fellow artists build stunning online spaces.
With a Master's degree in Systems Engineering and years of experience as a Systems Test Engineer for in-flight entertainment and WiFi systems, I bring a unique technical expertise to my design process.
My engineering background has refined my skills in precision, problem-solving, and attention to detail—qualities I now apply to creating beautiful and functional websites.
After leaving my career in engineering, I embraced my true passion: art.
Since then, I've launched and shipped multiple art collections worldwide, hosted numerous workshops, and built a thriving art business from the ground up.
Additionally, I've hosted open studio sessions, live art events, and solo exhibitions, offering various ways to connect with audiences and showcase my work.
Over the last two years, I've learned and DIY’ed countless things!
I love learning and challenging myself, but I understand not everyone has the time or technical expertise to build and manage their websites.
This is where I bring my favorite worlds of
creativity & technology
together to help other artists.
In my journey, I've had the pleasure of meeting many artists in the States, Dubai (where I’m currently based) and online.
I'm passionate about providing valuable resources and helping artists build thriving businesses so they can focus on what they love: creating.
Let's work together to transform your online presence and take your art business to the next level.
