This is exactly what I hope people take away from every workshop.

Learning new technology can feel intimidating.

My goal is to create a space where you can ask questions, learn at your own pace and leave feeling confident.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to deliver training over the years.

I'm excited to bring Canva Kick Start to small business owners next.

Have you noticed that a lot of business flyers are starting to look... the same? 👀

The same paint brush strokes.
The same sparkles.
The same crowded layouts trying to say ALL the things.

Don't get me wrong—I love AI!

But although AI can create a flyer, it can't tell you what's most important. It can't tell you what your customer needs to see first. And it definitely doesn't know your brand.

The businesses that stand out aren't necessarily using better tools.

They're using better design principles.

✨ White space
✨ Clear hierarchy
✨ Consistent branding
✨ Simpler messaging

The good news? You don't need a design degree to learn those skills.

That's exactly what I teach in Canva Kick Start.

Because Canva isn't just about knowing where the buttons are.

It's about creating marketing that looks professional, feels like your business and gets noticed for the right reasons.

I still dabble in a few marketing projects, and this one is my fav.

Busselton Fringe allows me to be bold, quirky and just a little bit bonkers… just the way I like it!

What a delight to be part of this team for the third year now 💙

PS - the program is out and about to get started!

It’s been a few months since my last post and honestly… where has the time gone? 😅

Between webinars, client work, life, and juggling all the things, my own socials slipped down the list. Sound familiar?

If you’re a small business owner trying to do it all, I see you. And that’s exactly why I created my 𝑺𝑶𝑺 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔.

Whether your accounts need reconnecting, your info needs updating, or you just want to understand scheduling and insights properly, we can sort it out together.

Don't be like me...

💻 Book your SOS session online and let’s get you back in control of your socials.

This week I wrapped up my final webinar for the year, and honestly… I’m equal parts relieved, proud, and ready for a nap.

This year has been a big pivot for my business. I slowly realised that what I enjoy most isn’t doing everything for people — it’s teaching them how to do it themselves. Turns out my early days training as a primary school teacher have come back around!

With the help of a fantastic mentor, I’ve spent the year reshaping what my business looks like. Not in a “big announcement” way — more in a steady, slightly-chaotic, “yep-let’s-try-that” kind of way.

Somehow in the middle of all this, I managed to:
• Run 14 workshops with over 150 wonderful humans
• Deliver 20 one-on-one consults
• Build new training sessions and resources
• And work full-time for most of the year (because why do one job when you can do more?!)

I’m not sharing this as a brag — more as a quiet thank you to everyone who showed up, booked in, asked questions, trusted me, or simply listened while I tried to explain why fonts matter.

This little shift toward teaching feels right, and I’m grateful to everyone who’s been part of it.

Here’s to a glass of red, a deep breath, and seeing where things head next 💜
