Northridge Capital
Brand & Web Design
Design, build and care for growing brands — from one small studio.
Trusted by teams building something real
Founder & Creative Director
"I started Hillstone Digital Studio to close the gap between how brands want to be seen and how their websites actually make visitors feel. Every project we take on gets the same standard: it has to earn trust in seconds and keep performing long after launch."
With over a decade guiding strategy, design and development for growth-stage companies, Elbert leads every Hillstone engagement personally — from the first discovery call to the final handoff.
Four recent launches, each built around one measurable goal for the business.
We measure the work by what it does for the business afterward. Here's what a few of our clients told us once their sites went live.
Hillstone rebuilt our entire digital presence in four weeks. Demo requests from the site tripled in the first quarter after launch, and the sales team finally has a homepage they're proud to send prospects to.

VP of Marketing, Northridge Capital
Patients used to call to book because our old site was so confusing. Since the redesign, online bookings cover 68% of new appointments and our front desk has hours back every week.
Dr. Aaron Cole
Clinic Director, Meridian Health
The team scoped a real launch date and hit it. Our online store went live in five weeks and paid for itself inside the first month — checkout conversion is up 40% over our old platform.
