Is Your Brand Working As Hard As You Are?

What’s the #1 thing holding back your business growth right now?

What should you invest in and what can wait?

I'm guessing you're at a tipping point in your business - and something has to change

Right now…

  • You avoid sending people to your website cos you know it’s not right

  • You’ve outgrown your original niche but don’t know how to reposition

  • You know you should be attracting better-paying clients but your brand is holding you back

  • You keep tweaking your colour palette instead of creating a cohesive brand universe

  • You can do great work for clients but can’t articulate your own value

  • Or perhaps you’re new to the world of entrepreneurship and you've tried the business mentors, the DIY website solutions and the guys who took your money and ran; you want a trustworthy strategist and designer this time

    You don’t need more tweaking.
    You need clarity first - then design that converts

You know something's off, but you can't pinpoint if it's your positioning, your messaging, your visual identity, or your website structure. Before investing in a full rebrand, get clarity on exactly where the gaps are.

The Brand Positioning Audit gives you a comprehensive analysis of how your brand shows up in the market — what's working, what's confusing prospects, and what needs attention first.

Perfect for established business owners who feel stuck but aren't sure whether they need strategy work, design updates, or a complete transformation.

Not sure what your brand actually needs?

You might be leaving corporate to launch your own business - yay!
Or you’re an established entrepreneur but your brand and website still shout 2020

What if you just need a website fix? Or your Squarespace or Kajabi site needs a revamp?

Designer For A Day is my intensive troubleshooting and implementation service. In one focused session, I'll:

  • Fix design issues and clean up messy DIY layouts

  • Add landing pages, forms, or automation workflows

  • Set up email integrations and marketing funnels

  • Solve technical problems you've been stuck on

  • Optimise what's not working and implement what's missing

  • Design lead magnets, social media templates, slides decks etc

Perfect for Squarespace and Kajabi sites that need expert attention without a full redesign.

Your Squarespace or Kajabi website started out fine - I may have even designed it myself - but now it's gotten unwieldy. You've added pages, tweaked the design, installed plugins... and somewhere along the way, it stopped working the way you need it to.

Or maybe you just need specific functionality added: a landing page, email signup forms, automations, checkout flows — but don't have time to figure it out yourself.

Why work with me?

Your next chapter deserves more than a just a logo

You’ve already done the hard part - built a business that works - or decided you’ve have enough of the corporate stress and have big ambitions. Now it’s time to get clarity on your strategy for the next 3-5 years.

Here’s what makes my approach different:

  • Strategy first, always. Every project begins with brand clarity: who you are, what makes you different and how to position your brand to attract ideal clients. Design is the expression, not the starting point.

  • Connection & resonance are key. I believe your brand should not only look, feel and sound like you, it should spark loyalty from your customers.

  • The full ecosystem, not just a website. From brand strategy and visuals to websites, email funnels and course platforms, everything I design is built to work seamlessly together saving you time and boosting results.

  • Empathy meets expertise. I am an award-winning solopreneur who understands what it’s like to launch a successful business in midlife, to want a brand that reflects your expertise. My clients come to me because they’re ready to stop hiding behind DIY visuals and start owning their brilliance.

Ready to elevate your brand?

Most businesses build their brand backwards — logo first, website second, strategy... maybe never.

I do it right: we clarify your positioning before designing anything, ensure your visual identity reflects your strategy, then build a website that converts.

The result? A cohesive brand & website that attracts your ideal clients from day one — not one that needs rebuilding in six months.
