Have you got a case of website shame?

I can guide you out of the quagmire, and create a brand – and website – that feels like you…

When I started in graphic and web design everything required coding, there were only five fonts to choose from, there was no Mail Chimp, ConvertKit, Sales Funnels, Lead Generation or even social media – and websites were basically online brochures.

No need for epic budgets or juggling multiple creative experts – I can take you from creative concept, to logo design, brand photographs, branding and web design, covering every aspect of your beautiful, authentic online presence.

I have a creative spirit and a traveller’s heart.

I was guided intitially by my father who didn’t want ‘a starving artist for a daughter’ so I studied business and marketing at university, all the while wishing I was in design school like my creative friends.

After university I did a work exchange program that opened my heart and mind to the world and different cultures. Seeking a marketing position, the training company I applied at sent me instead to learn how to teach.

I was the odd one who reads computer manuals for fun. Teaching people how to use technology became my career for 8 years. I left London and landed oceans away to Auckland where I fell in love with photography (mostly because you can’t take a bad picture in New Zealand) as well as my soulmate.

He’s a traveler, like me, and together, we becameserial expatsand followed his engineering career to Central America, the Middle East, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia, creating four children along the way.

When we left conventional life behind, I knew it was time to hit the reset button, to take a new path and finallycreatefor a living. So,

and my first website won a coveted Webby award for creative design. I have been creating brands and websites for individuals and small businesses ever since. I added custom photography to my offerings, to create more personalized and authentic brands.

Though I’ve settled down now in beautiful Matakana, New Zealand, I have clients across the world from London, Ireland, to the US, Australia, Fiji and of course NZ.

You’ve worked so hard to build your dream business – but your online presence is anything but zen.

Your website is more of a glorified brochure than a smart sales funnel. As for your ‘brand’, you’ve long outgrown those cheesy stock images, random fonts and that logo you bought on Fiverr. You know it’s time for an upgrade – but where do you start?

I built my business by doing it all – the code, the design, the photography.

But that’s not how the industry works. Usually, front-end designers work with back-end coders, and photographers aren’t in the picture unless you have an epic budget and work with an agency – which makes great branding and web design an expensive, team managing exercise, out of the reach of many entrepreneurs.

Today, we have the tools to do more which inspires me to create more when given the opportunity, like theThe Village Tablebook on the right, where I collaborated with a team of local Matakanaians and produced the website, food photography and book design.

Together, we’ll refine your brand ethos. Then I’ll create the photographs, graphic elements and web design that reflects you – and your dream clients.

Through working with many small business clients over the years I know web design and branding is NOT a ‘one path suits all’ journey, so I’ll be there to support you at each stage in your business.

We’ll work together to bringyouinto your brand following the path that suits your business.

And I’ll guide you along the way – here’s how:

You might have no time for learning and are ready to invest and partner with one expert to get your BRAND + WEBSITE sorted for you so you don’t have to worry about it anymore, plus your brand and tech will look professional and engaging a tribe of loyal fans.

Whether you need new headshots or a full brand photoshoot / video or custom stock photography for your brand, I photograph businesses and their brands so they can stand out amongst the competition and build a base of raving fans. I love working with clients to create compelling imagery!

You might have a smaller budget and lots of time but are looking for a strategic way forward (versus time spent throwing spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks) plus all my insider shortcuts, guidance and feedback. I teach one on one as well as online training where feedback and interaction from me is my top priority so you get education, not just information.
