Spread the kindness

I really believe in kindness, community, championing others. That includes sharing information that I think could really benefit others!

BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER (and wedding photographer!)

Danny Jack Photography 

 

Danny Jack Photography is an incredibly talented photographer. Having personally worked with Danny as our wedding photographer, and later on for my branding shoot, I can’t say enough good things!

 

Working with Danny for two very different scenarios was amazing and just proves how versatile and skilled he is. Check out his website if you are looking for a photographer who is unobtrusive, but friendly, and brilliant at capturing the beautiful real moments.

SMALL BUSINESS NETWORKING (in person, monthly in Stratford-upon-Avon)

Lizzie Hazell

 

Lizzie's small business networking event has changed so much for me over the last year. Not only have I found business connections, but genuine, wonderful friendships and confidence to show up in my business. I am so happy to have discovered this event and I look forward to it every month!

THE SECRETS TO INSTAGRAM GROWTH (Online course)

Business Secrets Club

 

Last year I took Martha Keith's The Secrets to Instagram Growth course, and it has been such a brilliant, worthwhile investment. 

Martha has a wonderfully refreshing approach to Instagram strategy, and I’d recommend this online course to anyone looking to grow their Instagram account.

THE ASSOCIATION OF ILLUSTRATORS

 

I am a proud member of the AOI, and would highly recommend other Illustrators to join. To be supported and advised by the Association of Illustrators has meant that the know-how becomes easy, knowing that I can provide the best for my clients by asking for tailored support. It’s important to me as a way to respect my clients and myself.

THE GOOD LEGALS CLUB

​

Working with Emma for my legal foundations was brilliant, and I would really recommend her to other small businesses! I now have legal documents that cover the difference elements of my business, which protect my clients and myself. It’s been such a source of security for me.

PODCAST

Ran by three talented Illustrators in different fields! Katie, Tania and Helen have a friendly, no panic approach to illustration which is so valuable and refreshing to hear. they have so much knowledge between them! I love to listen to this podcast alongside work or on a walk.
