This new company were setting up an in-house marketing team and although I'd only been at the company for a few months and I didn't have any graphic design or marketing experience at the time, I DID have a whole heap of creativity and was willing to learn on the job and get stuck in!

They were happy to have someone with a 'can-do' attitude and I was levelling up and learning about branding and marketing at a corporate level. I wasn't afraid to try and to not know it all, and this is the philosophy I still live by today. It's not about leaving things to chance, it's about taking a chance and seeing if you fly.

Iโ€™m so happy youโ€™re here! I really am honoured that you stopped by to learn more about me. Iโ€™m passionate about helping women like you build their dreams into a reality with meaningful, thoughtfully crafted branding and design.

Once upon a time I had a 9-5 admin office job. Although I was grateful for this job and the people I worked with (who were lovely), I really didn't see much of a way upwards towards something that actually felt fulfilling. So I decided to side-step. I took a leap of faith and found a similar role at a different company. Here's where the magic happened...

Hi, I'm Meg!

Well, not really ALONE. Here's where you come in! I knew that small businesses and solo entrepreneurs could benefit SO MUCH from what I'd learnt about design and branding. I felt like I could actually make a difference in people's lives rather than using my skills to put pennies in the pockets of a corporate enterprise.

I'd love to live in a world where more people, like you and I, make money and support their families on their own terms, in a way that is fulfilling and flexible. Owning a business is so rewarding, and professional and intentional branding is a big part of the puzzle that can help your business SHINE!

AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS LEARNING MY CRAFT IN A CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT, I KNEW I WAS READY TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD ALONE...  

here's what happened next...
