The excitement is building, and I am FIZZING ✨

I absolutely can’t wait. There’s a crew of 42 of us heading down to watch the show, see our family and friends, and celebrate my 40th with people coming from Australia, Canada, the USA, and all over New Zealand.

To see my garment on stage is going to be so surreal. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.

But for now, if you want to see it, you’ll have to nab yourself some tickets to GLO at World of WearableArt (WOW)

My outfits are picked, my bags are packed, and I’m heading down to Wellington next week to get amongst it all. I will be clogging up my stories with WOW-related content, so follow along and see what the next couple of weeks brings.

I can’t wait to meet other creatives, see their creations, and learn EVEN more about World of WearableArt (WOW) .

(And yes, I’ve already started my next costume. I’m officially hooked.) Bring it on! Tell me in the comments 👇🏽 Have you been to the show before? And are you going this year??

Today’s productivity hack: delete nothing, make content instead. 😂

I’m deep in the thousands of photos on my phone, backing everything up, sorting it into folders and trying to be a person who actually prints photos. 😂

So here’s a completely random dump of creative work from my camera roll before it disappears into the hard drive abyss.

Creators, what random thing is sitting in your camera roll that you could turn into content?

Little reminders for my fellow creatives 🤍

You don’t have to constantly be doing to be moving your creative business forward.

Sometimes the work is creating.
Sometimes it’s resting.
Sometimes it’s supporting someone else.
Sometimes it’s filling your own cup so you actually have something left to give.

Your creativity is your business asset. Protect it. ✨

Also, this is one of my Canva templates 👀
Seven editable slides, ready for you to add your own reminders, thoughts, tips or little bits of wisdom.

Save this one for the next time you need to remind yourself that you’re allowed to slow down. And if you want the template, it’s on Canva. 💻✨

So… THIS is what I can do in an Hour of Power. ⚡️

This custom family portrait started with a problem: there wasn’t actually a photo of all three of them together.

Different ages, different stages, different circumstances… no single photo to work from.

So I created one. ✨

It’s a custom vector line drawing that brings them all together, and it’s now another portrait in a client’s collection of yearly family artwork.

And yep. One hour.

This is just ONE example of what I’ve been using my Hours of Power for lately.

✨ Custom illustrations
✨ Logos & branding
✨ Surface pattern design
✨ Social media graphics
✨ Design fixes & tweaks
✨ Bespoke artwork
✨ And whatever other creative thing you’ve been stuck on

Basically, you bring me the problem and I’ll see what I can do with it in 60 minutes. 😂

I’m already booked out for this week, BUT I’ll be opening more Hour of Power spots as they become available each week.

So keep your eyes peeled if you’ve got a design job you’ve been putting off.

Your thing might just be my next Hour of Power. ⚡️

I’m about to turn 40. I’m excited. I remember thinking my dad was so old when he turned 40. 😂 Now I’m here, feeling really proud of what I’ve built.

I created a whole human. 🥹
Wrote and illustrated a children’s book that made it onto actual bookshelves.
Built businesses and been self-employed for over a decade.
Made lifelong connections with incredible women in business here in Aotearoa. You know who you are. ❤️

And now, in my birthday month, I’m a World of WearableArt (WOW) finalist. Still wild to say.

There have been plenty of twists, turns, closed doors and new beginnings, but I wouldn’t change any of it. It all brought me here. I don’t feel like I’m looking back at my best years. I’m looking forward to them.

Books in the pipeline. New clients. New creations. New ideas I haven’t even had yet. Maybe another business or three. 😂

So, 40… I’m ready for you.

Tell me something you’ve done that your younger self would be absolutely blown away by. ❤️ Photo credit Adrian Kris Avecilla Abaño from Nomadic Stories (who absolutely killed it with his debut film premiere last night ✨)

Swipe through for five things you might not know about me 👆

And yes, I made this carousel as a Canva template so you can use it to share a few things about you too (let me know if you want me to send you the link).

Perfect for personal brands, creatives, small businesses, artists, makers or anyone who wants to introduce themselves without doing the same old “Hi, I’m…” post.

✨ Find it in my Canva template library and make it your own.

What’s one thing about YOU that people would never guess? 👇

I currently have TWO SPOTS available this week. Got a design job you've been putting off?

That Canva template that needs finishing?
A social media graphic you need created?
A flyer, presentation, workbook, lead magnet or other design job that's been sitting on your to-do list?

Give me one focused hour and let's get it DONE.

For $100, you get one hour of my graphic design time, focused entirely on your project.

You bring me the job. I'll bring the design brain. ✏️💻

Perfect for those little projects that don't need a whole design package, but you just haven't had the time (or the inclination!) to tackle yourself.

💬 Message me if you'd like to grab one of the two spots.

Once they're gone, they're gone!
