The Pearler Pathway

DIY websites become 'failed projects' usually cos you didn't build up your brand assets prior. The fix? It's fun af.

I've made a Notion file absolutely choccers with tools to build or refresh each of your branding elements.

Step 1: Squarespace Template

I'm OG template designer, I cannot tell you how elite and considered they have evolved to become! <333

COSMO is a chameleonic, over-achieving Queen to designed to scale. Find me a cuter, more attention-seeking template with as many pages and modern features as this baby???

Step 2: Flodesk Email

You've made your website, it's time to be seen and deeply connect with Your People ™️.

As an early adopter of Flodesk, it's truly been a game-changer for my solo-biz clients.

So, I've created super fun, unique and non-coercive email templates and automations to make it super easy for you to show up in people's inboxes.

Step 3: Book Me For A Day

I'll mine your magic and amplify your design. Fast. Once your website is live, making you bank, I can add that extra 'wow' factor to your site or branding, smooth out any janky DIY bits, whatever.

Perfect for hyper-creative or neurodivergent people who have big visions other less intuitive designers can't seem to grasp.

These slots come and go — take advantage while they're there.

Step 4: On Shopify?

No more FOMO. I created the antidote to fugly, template-y Shopify themes that ~has it all~. She's born from 10 years of my Shopify frustrations.

Whether you're already there or your Squarespace has outgrown their eCom functions, MANIFEST is your girl.

Watch the tour, blow your mind:
