Portfolio

A behind-the-scenes look at the Squarespace sites I've launched or am currently working on.

Digital DIY

I like to share what I'm learning when it comes to building a website, DIY design, and social media.

Creativity

I've been interviewing a bunch of photographers, painters, print-makers, illustrators, writers and musicians about what goes into completing a creative challenge. It's been an incredible process!

Instagram

Instagram is by far my favourite place to hang out online. It's also an incredible tool for marketing your business. Here you'll find interviews, inspiration, and tutorials.

Photography

Follow my photographic adventures (and mishaps).

Colour palette of the day 😍
And it’s live! 🎉 A made-with-love brand new site for Cornerstone Learning Centre. An online home they can call their own, put to work, manage with minimal fuss and zero headaches, and spread the good news of the important work they’re doing for kids with Autism. 📚 www.cornerstonelearningcentre.co.za
Cornerstone Learning Centre | Finishing up this lovely project today. 🤸🏼‍♀️ A school on the Kwazulu-Natal South Coast that focuses on learners on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder needed a website update - something that would help reflect the warm and nurturing environment of the school, as well as help with some of the practicalities of running a school - admissions processes and so on. 📚 Cornerstone Learning Centre is run by a dedicated team of professional teachers, and relies on the goodwill and support of their community, so the site is also somewhere for potential funders to get a better sense of who they are and the work they’re doing. 🎉 Launching soon.
Not all walls are create equal.
It’s been a day of font pairings, Pinterest inspiration, and designing layouts. It’s also been a day of crazy humidity and mosquito slapping. Summer, you’re definitely not over in our neck of the woods!
Up on my blog, a few good questions to ask before your website build. Questions like: ✏️ Why do I want a website? ✏️ What purpose will it serve? ✏️ Who will use it, and how? ✏️ What is the scope of this project? • The clearer your intentions, the more successful the process will be!
“Cherish the children marching to the beat of their own music. They play the most beautiful heart songs.” —Fiona Goldsworthy 🎈 Im busy working on a new site for a school for children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder. A few weeks ago I got to visit and see the amazing work they’re doing, I wish I could have stayed and spent the day in their very inviting sensory playroom!
Another site goes live. 🎉
Is there anything more exciting that good friends getting hitched? 😍 How wonderful to be able to design a wedding site for these two wonderful people. 💛 The bride is one of my long time besties, we’ve shared houses, overseas trips, half-marathons, many giggles, tears and many many many cups of tea together. I am so thrilled for them both! 🥂
Hello from what seems to be the holiday that doesn’t want to end! It’s been a time of Christmas meals, family, beach swims, LOADS of reading, and long runs in preparation for a race in March. Now that it is so far into January I really can’t ignore 2019 I’m revisiting the things I planned at the end of last year and seeing what stays and what goes. • What stays in 2019?
🔸 Squarespace website design 🔸 Resource development 🔸 Template sites - more coming soon 🔸 Squarespace from Scratch online course 🔸 More learning in the fields of design and creativity 🔸 Some personal creative projects 🔸 Travel! • And what goes in 2019? 🔸 Some of my blog - its going to be archived! 🔸 Some projects I started and never finished - I might as well axe them now 🔸 Me second guessing my fee structure - time to refocus and stay serious!
