You want to elevate your brand, to connect with authenticity with your customers and make you the go-to person in your niche.

Would this be right?

You've had a successful career or you've built a successful business but you have that nagging feeling that there must be more around the corner?

You need to step into your truth, into your glory!

There's so much unfulfilled potential.

Well, let me tell you a story…

Let me tell you how I got here

It was 5 AM in a soggy field in West Cork. I'm lying in a cheap tent with my three kids, rain dripping on my face, wondering how I ended up here.

Fresh from a relationship breakdown, struggling to find a job after so long away from the workplace, I felt like a failure.

That moment could have broken me, but instead, it became my turning point.

I'd been designing websites as a hobby, but with my career at a crossroads, I decided to jump and turn that hobby into a lifeline.

So I went back to school.

What did I have to lose? Nothing.

So much that I went not once, but twice!

I earned degrees in digital technology, design, and marketing. All while juggling single parenthood and trying to keep a roof over our heads.

It wasn't easy, but I was determined.

I built my business from the ground up, learning and growing with every challenge.

And now? I've helped countless entrepreneurs transform their online presence. 

People just like you - with a wealth of experience, ready for a change, hungry for more.

And I did it all from my (much drier, greatly improved) home office.

So if you're ready to pivot your career and build a powerful online presence, then I'm going to be your biggest cheerleader and most dedicated guide.

Simply because I get you.

You've got this, and I'll support you.

Creating a digital presence that truly represents your expertise and attracts your ideal clients.

I’ve done it.

I’m living my dream.

What about yours?

Amuse Bouches

  • I captained France’s only women’s cricket team in the early 1990s. (We had to travel abroad to find opponents!)

  • I am a Mom to 3 young men and a black cat called Pixel

  • I am proof that online dating works ♥️

  • I once took a tour bus of 70 Belgians around Paris for the day, standing in for a guide who didn’t turn up. I wasn’t a tour guide but decided to give it a go. “A gauche, la Tour Eiffel!”

  • I speak English, French, Spanish, a good smattering of conversational Arabic and even less Irish

  • I’m an avid choral singer. The highlight of the 2023/2024 season was Mahler’s 2nd Symphony with the Irish National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (yes, that scene from the film Maestro).

I'm Building a Brand, Show Me The Way

My signature approach to brand strategy & design

  • Strategy first, always. Every project begins with brand clarity: who you are, what makes you different and how to position your brand to attract ideal clients. Design is the expression, not the starting point.

  • Connection & resonance are key. I believe your brand should not only look, feel and sound like you, it should spark loyalty from your customers.

  • The full ecosystem, not just a website. From brand strategy and visuals to websites, email funnels and course platforms, everything I design is built to work seamlessly together saving you time and boosting results.

  • Empathy meets expertise. I understand what it’s like to relaunch or scale in midlife, to want a brand that reflects your expertise, but also your evolution. My clients come to me because they’re ready to stop hiding behind DIY visuals and start owning their brilliance.
