Hi everyone,
Itâs been a while since Iâve shared anything here â but thatâs about to change. Big things are happening, and I couldnât be more excited to finally let you in on what Iâve been working on. This is a long one, but I hope youâll stick with me.
Last year, I made the decision to leave my role at Dutch Media/Cogency after more than 11 years. It wasnât an easy choice â I truly loved my job, the incredible people I worked with, and the friendships I formed there. But I knew it was time. Time to spread my wings, challenge myself in new ways, and reignite the passion and love for what I do.
Since then, Iâve been working â of course â but also working on myself and my business. Iâve taken the time to rebrand my business and reflect deeply on who I am outside of agency life. Who I am as a full-time business owner? How do I want my business to grow? What kind of creative do I want to be? Itâs been a journey of self-discovery, full of growth, setbacks, learning curves â and ultimately, clarity.
And now, 10 months later, Iâm so proud to officially introduce Collective Studio to the world!
Of course, no journey is ever walked alone. Iâve been incredibly lucky to have the support of some amazing people, and I want to take a moment to thank a few of them.
đ Blair â my incredible partner. Youâve supported me, encouraged me, and â most importantly â believed in me. Thank you for every compromise, every pep talk, and every moment you stood by me through this journey. I love you, and Iâm endlessly grateful.
đ„ Dave from North South Media â a good friend and former work mate. Your belief in me, positivity, and constant encouragement have been awesome. Youâve lifted me when I needed it and reminded me of why I started. I canât wait to see whatâs ahead for us both.
đš Danielle from Boldly Creative â thank you for your friendship, guidance, encouragement and inspiration. You understood me and my vision so well, and brought my rebrand to life. I absolutely love what youâve created and canât wait to see it flourish out in the world, and look forward to working with you more.
To my family and friends â thank you for being my sounding board, my support crew, and for always encouraging me to keep going, even when things felt uncertain. I have so much to be grateful for.
As I step into this exciting new chapter, Iâd love your support too. If you're happy to, please share this post, spread the word, and help me grow my network. Community is everything â especially in regional towns and for small businesses like mine.
