Funny how life changes.
For so long, I stopped showing my face online.
After a difficult experience in business, I convinced myself that shrinking was safer. That if I stayed behind the graphics, websites and strategy, people couldn’t hurt me.
But over the last couple of years, I’ve rebuilt. Slowly.
So if you’re new here (and there are a lot of you lately 👋), hi. I’m Paige.
The anime loving, designer mum behind Hapn HQ. 🤎
I’m the founder and Creative Director of an award winning agency that helps businesses with branding, websites, content creation and social media management. But beyond the titles, I’m just someone who believes you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your entire life to build a successful business.
I used to think success looked like bright grids, £20k months, saying yes to everything and wearing burnout like an ADHD badge of honour because that’s what the online world told us to chase.
Turns out, it doesn’t.
Success now looks like school runs and spending more time with my son than ever before.
Getting the keys to our new home soon.
Growing our family and preparing to welcome our little Christmas miracle after experiencing loss.
Building a business that works around my life instead of the other way around.
Working with incredible clients, collaborating with global brands and organisations like Temu and Shelter, being featured in the news for resilience, winning awards I once only dreamed of… and somehow finding the love of my life because I finally learned to love myself first.
I don’t have to dance on stories.
I don’t have to swear for engagement.
I don’t have to be anyone other than myself.
And honestly? I’ve never felt happier.
So here’s to the rest of 2026.
There’ll be branding kits, websites, content days, social media management, strategy sessions and hopefully the launch of our academy before baby arrives…
(Although I might be slightly optimistic with that one. 😂)
Whether you’ve followed Hapn HQ from the beginning or only just found us, thank you for being here.
Here’s to building businesses we love, lives we’re proud of and remembering that sometimes the quiet luxuries are the ones that matter most.
Love,
Paige xo
