The Curation of Self Retreat wasn’t just us chatting about our goals…

It was about unearthing patterns, rewriting stories, and mapping the version of ourselves that’s waiting to emerge.

Every exercise, every ritual, every conversation was designed to bring you closer to yourself.

The Jacksons boutique in Notting Hill feels like stepping straight into a storybook, look at it!

So gorgeous to visit clients in person, and last week was no exception. Huge thank you to for hosting.

I can’t tell you how much I love working with purpose-led brands like this. The spirit of The Jacksons quite literally reminds me why I do what I do.

Fun fact: Every piece you can see here in the store is handmade by artisans in Bangladesh.

I joined the team last week to discuss the next iteration of an exciting branding and strategy project we’ve been working on. We’re evolving their brand identity, refining their tone of voice, and reimagining how their incredible story shows up across their communications... All while keeping the colour and joy and passion you can see pouring through here.

As a reminder, Studio Macki is available for branding and comms projects, get in touch for more information.

One of my favourite parts of brand work is seeing our clients thrive, and being a part of shaping their evolution as they go.

In the past, we worked closely with Mode Search on elevating their identity across colour, typography, brand decks, and website direction. And what started four years ago came back to us recently with the launch of Mode Executive...

We worked on:
⬩Brand direction + visual identity
⬩Look + feel
⬩Website design + build
⬩Copywriting

Results (and feedback from a very happy client) as shown above 🧡

If your brand needs repositioning or levelling up, let’s talk…

There’s a reason a shared dinner or a dip in the sea feels so, so good after a day of deep, inner identity workshopping.

Every part of the Curation of Self retreat was designed with intention, flowing from inner work to outer expression, daily movement, nourishing food, right down to carefully chosen downtime.

To root before expanding.

To feel before creating.

Lauren .co held space for transformation through movement, breath, and deep emotional work.

And I guided the creative process, translating inner clarity into vision, expression, and art.

And what unfolded was proof that when you design for both the seen and unseen, real transformation happens.

The most magical photoshoot experience at The Curation of Self Retreat.

So many people are hesitant to get in front of the camera, but after five days of deep inner work, this wasn’t just a photoshoot. It was a celebration.

A moment to capture the essence of each woman’s transformation.

It wasn’t about how she looked, but how she felt.

And when you genuinely feel good… When you feel confident, and energised, and aligned... it shows (and booooy does it show in these images.)

What previous retreat guests said about their experience 🧡

Transformation looks different for everyone. For some, it’s finally carving out space for creativity. For others, it’s a reset that ripples into their career, relationships, and sense of self.

That’s the beauty of The Curation of Self Retreat, it’s not just a few days away, it’s intentional time carved out to spark something much, much bigger.

Reminder, there’s still 2 spots left if you want to join us this October. DM for details.

The little rituals that keep me inspired...

Foraging in the countryside, a few minutes of meditation before I start the day, slow meals with the people I love...

These simple practices are what refill my creative cup and help me show up every day with more clarity and energy.

I’d love to know, what are the rituals you can’t live without?

And reminder, if you’d like to come share some of these rituals with me in Portugal this October (sea swims + slow lunches included 🌞), we still have a few spots left on our Curation of Self Retreat.

DM me for details. I have a feeling this one will go quickly.

I’ve built my career guiding brands from the inside out. Because a brand isn’t just something you wear or create or put online, it’s an expression of what’s already within.

That’s where my framework of Inner Alignment → Outer Expression comes in.

Inner Alignment is about stripping everything back to the foundations. Clarifying your vision, uncovering your values, and aligning with the bigger “why” that fuels your work.

Outer Expression is how that inner clarity takes shape in the world. Think, your visuals, your voice, your presence, your story. When the two come together, that’s when the magic happens.

Your brand stops being just a look or a logo, and becomes a curated identity that feels magnetic, authentic, and alive. Because the strongest brands aren’t built by accident. They’re built with intention from the inside out.

This is something I focus on a lot during my workshops, and something that’ll undoubtedly come up at our Curation of Self retreat this October (reminder we still have a couple of rooms available, DM for details!)

What if you gave yourself five days to completely step away from the noise and reconnect with your creativity?

That’s exactly what we’ve created with The Curation of Self Retreat this October in Portugal at . A space designed for women who want to:
🧘‍♀️ Gain clarity on their next creative or career chapter
🧘‍♀️ Explore new ideas + brand vision in inspiring workshops (with me!)
🧘‍♀️ Reset with yoga, meditation + self-development sessions
🧘‍♀️ Nourish themselves with long slow lunches, ocean swims + time to just be...

As an FYI, we now only have ONE private room left, so DM for details
