![Just had a call chatting to an awesome artist who explained that all they seem to be doing these days is writing: writing emails, writing YouTube scripts, writing Instagram captions, writing product descriptions... ✏️
I love helping to free up clients' time to focus on the things they shine at ✨ If you're a visual creative, I want to see you having plenty of time for creating visually (and yes, smashing some business goals at the same time 😘)
Copy and content writing is the one of the key ways I do that, but I also offer services for design and illustration, Pinterest and Instagram, and quite a few odd-jobs in between. Head to the link in my bio or drop me a DM to chat about filling any gaps 💛

Well for me, talking is mostly re-talking: to myself. Often out loud. Tends to happen in the car a lot, and also at the kitchen counter, as if I’m a guest on a laidback podcast. The daftest part is that I’m not actually going to use this new-and-improved Conversation 2.0 with the original person - it’s just me editing me, like ‘oh yeah, I should’ve put it like THAT’ or ‘argh, that would’ve been a much better example!’
I’m still hoping these introvert hangovers will get smaller as time goes on?

I'm seeing more and more comments from people who are finding Instagram hard to engage with (for a number of reasons) but don't realise that there are any other options for growing their business.
If you're struggling with reach on Insta, then there are definitely things that can help you grow. But first, just check in with yourself - do you actually WANT to build a following here? If you're loving it, carry on! If you're not, there are alternatives that can feel better for you personally, and could actually be more effective in bringing you sales.
Isn't it beautiful that we are first of all individuals, that happen to be building businesses? And that we get to build them in an individual way?

It felt like a machine I needed to constantly feed, and because it took up so much time, I didn’t have any energy left to properly explore other channels.
Things are feeling easier as I shift to prioritising other ways that work for me, and then repurposing some of that creative content here on the grid. In particular I’m investing more time into:
✨ Blogging
✨ Pinterest set up
✨ Website SEO (search engine optimisation)
These don’t bring an instant validation of likes and shares, they require some extra effort initially, and it might be a while before the positive outcomes emerge. But I'm hoping to see some really nice numbers when I crunch the data in a few months' time.

Thinking about what drives me with the #joyfulbrandchallenge and a coaching session with @healedhealthywhole, I scribbled down 4 things that I want my clients to feel with every project:
✨In safe hands:
Sure, sometimes we need to take risks, but I think we grow best when we feel safe, and that good things come from comfort zones. For some of my new clients, the decision to outsource is a huge step in itself, and I want them to always feel secure as we work together.
✨ Heard and understood:
I LOVE starting new projects so sometimes I have to press pause on my creative excitement, taking time to check I’ve really understood why we’re doing it and what the real needs are.
✨ Equipped:
The whole point of my work is to set off my client’s work beautifully – the images need to express their personality; the copy should make them shine. I want people to feel ready to take on the next bit of their business using content I’ve made for them.
✨ Charmed and delighted:
A little extra magic that makes them say ‘ooh!’ – like a chocolate on your hotel pillow. My favourite feedback is when clients say something like ‘wow, I’d never even thought of that!’
