This is where I can help…
a bit of background
How it all started
I am a civil engineering graduate from Cape Town who worked two years in industry before finally admitting that I’m just not interested in the corporate world. Two years may not seem that long, but I couldn’t stand the idea of spending any more time and energy doing something that did not give me the fulfilment I so desperately craved.
While going through the process of accepting that everything I’d worked for was not bringing me joy, I started a blog to help me find my calling; and since reading’s always been a constant in my life, it felt fitting to blog about books. Following my passion has lead to some incredible opportunities that I wouldn’t have explored otherwise; and I could never have guessed that it would bring me to this point: being my own boss.
This chapter started in 2018 when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my eldest son – feeling the little flutters of new life put things into perspective for me. I knew there was never going to be the “right” time to start a business and pursue something I was passionate about. I needed to begin right then and there.
With this bee in my bonnet, I decided to open an Etsy shop to sell caption writing services for Instagram. At this point in time I didn’t even have a website! But within a few weeks of starting, I was fully booked! And, not too long after that, I landed some of my DREAM clients!
One Friday afternoon, after posting about my services in a Facebook group, I received a message from a fellow Mom Boss who wanted to know who designed the graphics for my shop!
Spoiler alert: I DID!
The crazy thing was that she wanted to hire me (ME!!!) to design some Pinterest graphics for her – which I never even thought I COULD do.
After using every excuse in the book to avoid taking on this project, she booked me for my Instagram services just so I could create some graphics for her. And after a bit more convincing, I finally mustered the courage to accept the opportunity.
The fellow Mom Boss has been an ongoing client of mine ever since, and also became my mentor and dearest friend!
This chance encounter is how I discovered my passion for graphic design and Canva template creation. It is also what taught me the importance of being surrounded by people who share your values, respect what matters most to you, and recognises your strengths even when you don’t notice them yourself.
Of course, it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses. In fact, I’ve had my fair share of bumps and tears along the way which has forced me to be more firm in setting boundaries, communicating clearly and never compromising on things that are important to me.
Being my own boss has not only allowed me to serve in my purpose and do work I adore, but it has given me a chance to pave the way toward a life my husband and I are building for our family. My business is the reason I am able to provide and contribute, save towards my children’s future, and give back to those who need it most.
This is exactly why I want to help YOU build a business you can be proud of – a business that makes you happy and unlocks all the possibilities you could ever imagine!
