Raised in an environment with an artistic influence, my mother is a stone carver, my father a woodcarver, and both grandparents painters.

🎨🖌🖼
You could say art was in my DNA. My business journey started as a fashion stylist. As the years went on, I felt more inspired and connected to the designers and clients I was working for. I decided to change direction and completely rebranded and taught myself Graphic and Web Design. (thanks, google) I discovered I had more passion for shining a light on other creatives and bringing their vision to life.

So here we are, three countries, five kids and nine years later.

The journey continue to blossom daily helping as many small creative business In Aotearoa.

Branding is the way a business conveys its brand identity. Creating a brand identity gives your business character and provides a narrative on what you offer, why you do it and where it all leads.

It’s about who you’re speaking to (your target audience), how you communicate with them and building an overall experience between your business and customers.

Part of your brand’s identity is visual through branding elements such as your logo, colour palette and fonts. And the other part of it is represented through the words you use and your style of communication.

Before you start building your website, we recommend you think about how you want your website to look.

☑ Find other websites you like for inspiration, and think about the pages you will have, how you will layout the pages and menu, and what you will include on each page.
☑ Think about your ‘Call to actions' on your pages and where they lead to.

This will save you time when building your website.

Want to read more of our tips when building your website? Checkout our recent blog, or book yourself a Squarespace consultation to get support along the way.
