About me

My Story

I grew up in a family that faced financial challenges, and losing my father at four meant stepping into responsibility earlier than most. Watching my mum work tirelessly through day and night shifts taught me resilience, work ethic, and gratitude. Those experiences shaped my determination to create a better future.

At 14, I began buying and selling products online, sparking a lifelong interest in business and marketing. Alongside years of hard work and saving, that drive allowed me to achieve milestones like purchasing my family home at 23.

What I Love to Do

I’m passionate about building brands that stand out, developing strong visual identities and creating digital experiences that truly connect. My expertise spans e-commerce development, web design, social meda marketing and building custom CRMs that make managing businesses easier and more effective. I take pride in precision and organisation, consistently pushing projects beyond expectations.

Away from work, I find balance outdoors through camping, farming, and fishing, which keep me refreshed and ready to deliver my best in every project.
