22.01.2022 Women in Business - A new series I'm starting a new little series here on The Wild Now. Each month I'll be asking some of you beautiful business owners of Newcastle a question related to business, and sharing the answers. I love the community I've found here on Insta and love connecting with other business owners. My favourite part of my job is meeting you and getting to know a bit about the story behind your business.... So here's the first installment! I asked 3 lovely ladies (4 if you count me ) what their greatest challenges have been within starting a business and how they've overcome them. Comment or DM me if you want to be part of the next one, nominate your favourite business bestie, or if you've got a question idea! #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #makeithappen #creativeatheart #wearethewildnow #brandstylist #femtrepreneur #womeninbusiness #girlbossau #theleaguewomen #businesschicks #ladyboss #ladystartup #shemeansbusiness #womensupportingwomen #graphicdesign #branddesign #logodesign #websitedesign #branding #creativelifehappylife #newcastlebusiness #mybrilliantbrand #newcastlegraphicdesign #brandshoot #smallandmightybusiness #dreambig #hustleandheart #twnwomeninbiz @ Newcastle, New South Wales See more

21.01.2022 Love seeing my work in the wild, especially when it's for a business that is doing great things. Chris has a huge heart for helping young people with disabilities reach their full potential, and it's so cool that I got to be a part of creating his brand. Website next!

19.01.2022 Starting is scary! (I know) I have started a few businesses in my time and have created some super handy checklists to help you get started. I'm going to load them onto my new Resource page on my website (you can find the link in my bio). I haven't done it yet, so make sure you save this post as a reminder to check them out! I'll tell you when they're live on stories, but if you want early access, slide into my inbox with your email and I...'ll send them over! The guides include a quick start business startup checklist, and a website content checklist. Let me know if there are other things you struggle to just get started on! I'd love to have a whole range of checklists and guides to make starting your business a whole lot easier! See more

Swipe to read some tips to help you level up your mindset and your business! #girlboss #smallbusinesslife #entrepreneurlife #manifestyourlife #womenwithambition #solopreneur #goalgetters #SavvyBusinessOwner #WomenWhoHustle #Creativebabe #bloggerbabe #CreativeHappyLife #MyOwnBoss #workfromwherever #sheboss #MakersGonnaMake #girlpower #WomenInBusiness #Ladypreneur #theeverygirl #womenwithambition #girlbossing #CreateToCultivate #CommunityOverCompetition #SocietyGal #femaleentrepreneur #CreateCultivate #goaldigger #HeresToTheCreatives #DreamersAndDoers @ Newcastle, New South Wales

18.01.2022 All booked up! I can't believe 2020 is almost over. What a crazy and hectic year this has been. I kind of can't wait for it to be over. For me, this year has been one of the hardest of my life. But not for the reasons you might think. This year, I became a military wife, I lost my best furbaby friend, got a new puppy, and it has also been the busiest my business has ever been.... I'm proud/excited to say that I am now fully booked for 2020. I have so many projects to finish before the end of the year, but I'm looking forward to a break! But this year is not over yet though and there are a lot of new challenges to come!! I'll be sharing some huge news soon! See more

17.01.2022 Do you feel like you're not doing enough? It's 5pm, I close my laptop for the day and have a sinking feeling that I just didn't get enough done. My diary is open to today's date and there are 3 things still left unchecked. I sigh. I guess I'll do them tomorrow. Does this sound familiar or is it just me? I recently read "How to get over the feeling that you're never doing enough" by Katy Cowan, and here are a few tips that might just help.... Write a to-do list that's realistic. Don't just brain dump everything you have to do. That will just lead to overwhelm. It's good to have a masterlist, but for each day just write down 1 big job and few small ones. When you feel like you should have done more, maybe it's just that thing you've been procrastinating on. Write out a plan of attack for the next day, starting with that job first! Get off social media! Stop the comparison trap. If you're feeling particularly down about your productivity, looking at what others have achieved will not help. Everyone is on their own path and you might just need some time alone to do some deep work. Celebrate every achievement. Instead of dwelling on the things you didn't get done today, think about all the things you did get done! Think about how far you've come and cut yourself some slack! #digitalnomad #laptoplifestyle #mycreativebiz #creativeminds #websolutions #shopsmall #businesslife #mentorship #helpothers #communityovercompetition #businessbestie #biztip #dreamers #socialmarketing #bosschicks #womenwhohustle #businessowners #homebusiness #shopsmallsingleton #huntervalley #entrepreneursofinstagram #creativelifehappylife #calledtobecreative #graphicdesignersingleton #logodesigsingleton #branddesigner #brandstylist See more

17.01.2022 Holiday Mode: On I'm officially done for 2020! Yay! I hope you have an amazing holiday season and get to spend some time with the ones you love. I know this year has been really challenging for a lot of us, so here's hoping for a brighter 2021!... I'm aiming to be back to work on January 11th, 2021. Taking a bit of extra time to get acquainted with my new city (Darwin!) and get my new house all set up. See you in 2021!!

15.01.2022 Is it the right time to hire a graphic designer? Here are a few reasons it might be: 1 Your logo doesn't feel like you - it's kind of pretty, but it doesn't really showcase what you're all about and definitely isn't attracting the clients you want. 2 Your website feels dated and ugly, and it's a huge pain to update. Plus it doesn't work on mobile and is super hard for your potential clients/customers to use. (Or it's a DIY job and it's basic AF)... 3 You created your logo in Paint, Word, or Canva and you just don't have any of the right files. 4 You spend hours creating designs and graphics that just don't look right, or cute, or profesh. 5 You don't have a consistent look - everything you design has a different font, colour palette, and version of your logo. Look, we've all been there! So often we think we can DIY it and just get by because funds are tight and who wants to fork out all that cash on something you can whip up yourself. The fact is, your brand and website are speaking volumes about how seriously you take your business. Are you selling yourself short and playing it safe? It's time to stop hiding and invest in your self and your business! Allow your business to be seen for all the right reasons! #branddesigner #girlbosstips #dreamjobmakers #createtocultivate #creativeentreprenuer #sayyestosuccess #goalgetters #sheeo #bossbabemovement #dreamersanddoers #bossbabeco #herestothecreatives #boldbraveyou #createalifeyoulove #creativepreneurs #creativeprenuer #brandyourself #brandingstrategy #yourbrand #investinyourbrand #createyourbrand #brandbuilding #brandingforcreatives #findyourflock #savvybusinessowners #growyourbiz #serialentreprenuer #wearethewildnow #CreateToCultivate #theeverygirl

12.01.2022 A Sneak Peek.... I've just about got my new site done, and now I'm considering changing it One of the hardest things about being a designer is designing for yourself. It's so hard to be objective and hold yourself back from putting everything you love into one design ... I think most of you know how hard it is to design something for yourself. You're plagued with indecision, and you're not sure it looks how you want it to. You've spent hours working on this one design and can't work out why it doesn't work. If that's you, I recommend outsourcing. It's not worth it to waste your time spending hours and hours fiddling around to get mediocre results. A much more effective use of your time would be to spend it creating the things you're passionate about and talented at! Let me take away the stress, help you keep your business alive. Now is the time to get your website up quick smart. With the increasing amount of closures due to the Covid-19, stop procrastinating and get your business online! #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #makeithappen #creativeatheart #wearethewildnow #brandstylist #femtrepreneur #womeninbusiness #girlbossau #theleaguewomen #businesschicks #ladyboss #ladystartup #shemeansbusiness #womensupportingwomen #graphicdesign #branddesign #logodesign #websitedesign #branding #creativelifehappylife #newcastlebusiness #mybrilliantbrand #newcastlegraphicdesign #brandshoot #smallandmightybusiness #dreambig #hustleandheart #covid-19 #coronavirus See more

12.01.2022 I hearby award the title of "most organised client I've ever had" Back in August last year, I got an email from Kate from @stardust.flowers. She asked me what she could do to prepare to work with me on getting her website live. She said she wanted to "be the most organised client you've ever had"! Well, the award goes to you Kate, because it's been a dream working with you and you've made the process of building your website so simple and enjoyable!... Do you want to know what Kate did to make the process so smooth? Let's take a look! Kate reached out to me early and asked what she can do to prepare She promptly paid a deposit and secured her spot in my schedule I sent Kate a checklist of what to get organised which she followed to a tee She sent me an organised document with her copy broken down page by page She sent me the images she wanted me to use, clearly labeled Kate replied to my emails within a day at most Look, I know we can't all live up to these high standards But, being on top of things and providing organised content really does make the process a lot easier for both you and me! Make sure you go check out Kate's beautiful new website, it's got some dreamy floral illustrations and lots of pink - just how I like it #girlboss #smallbusinesslife #entrepreneurlife #womenwithambition #solopreneur #goalgetters #SavvyBusinessOwner #WomenWhoHustle #Creativebabe #bloggerbabe #CreativeHappyLife #MyOwnBoss #workfromwherever #sheboss #MakersGonnaMake #girlpower #WomenInBusiness #Ladypreneur #theeverygirl #womenwithambition #girlbossing #CreateToCultivate #CommunityOverCompetition #SocietyGal #femaleentrepreneur #CreateCultivate #goaldigger #HeresToTheCreatives #DreamersAndDoers #websitedesign

11.01.2022 No one can whistle a symphony... ...It takes a whole orchestra to play it. - H.E. Luccock When building a business from the ground up, it is tempting to try to go it alone. Your budget is tight and you're often not really sure your idea will take off. But as Mr. Luccock rightly states, it takes a whole orchestra to play a symphony. ... To use the metaphor, it takes a whole team to build a successful business. No one is skilled at everything. You are skilled at part of what will make your business thrive but without using skilled people in the areas you are weak, your business will only go so far. So if you're a florist trying to DIY your website, or a nutritionist trying to DIY your logo maybe it's time to take a minute and decide if it's worth the time and stress of trying to whistle the symphony! #digitalnomad #laptoplifestyle #mycreativebiz #creativeminds #websolutions #shopsmall #businesslife #mentorship #helpothers #communityovercompetition #businessbestie #biztip #dreamers #socialmarketing #bosschicks #womenwhohustle #businessowners #homebusiness #shopsmallnewcastle #newcastlensw #entrepreneursofinstagram #creativelifehappylife #calledtobecreative #graphicdesignernewcastle #logodesignnewcastle #branddesigner #brandstylist See more

11.01.2022 Hello! As most of my clients would know, I can often be seen to say 'I'm so excited!' followed by a bunch of exclamation marks! I'd just like to take a quick minute to say hello to all my new followers and tell you a little bit about who I am.... I am an excitable, exclamation mark junkie. Haha, but nah. I am a graphic designer with a huge heart for helping growing businesses develop their confidence with a logo or website that works for them.

07.01.2022 Friday Mood Anyone else been in an inspo slump lately? I can't seem to motivate myself to be creative just for fun.

03.01.2022 So here's the thing... You started your business on a budget that was less than ideal. You just wanted to get started and needed a logo. So DIY it was (hey Canva!) Go you! You started and I'm proud of you. Now you've got a few (or a lot) clients and that's a huge win! But are they your *dream* clients? Are they the ones you really want to be working with long term? ... Chances are they aren't. And you might be wondering why - your work is top-notch, your products are the bomb! You show up consistently on insta and show off your work. But the people you're attracting just aren't it. They want the cheapest option, don't really get your vibe and don't understand that this is your full-time thing! Instead of attracting your dream clients/customers, you're repelling them! It's not all bad news though - we both know that you've got what it takes to go far. You just need to get your brand sorted so you can start *attracting* the right people to you. So let's have a chat about strategy and see what we can do for you! I'm keen if you are.

03.01.2022 My favourite part of the job! I love meeting clients. I love sitting down and having a chat and finding out what makes you tick. I label myself as an introvert, but I think maybe that's not 100% true. I actually feel super energised after a client meeting and feel like I am doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. I love the community of creatives in Newcastle and I'm so excited that I've worked with so many amazing business women here! I am also so super excited ...that I am opening up my business to be not just tied down to one spot and that I'll get to work with women everywhere around the world! Marketing consultant Karen Webber reminds us that there is power and value in investing in your community. "Time spent with other creatives leads to more creativity and inspiration, better work and more opportunities, and it feels good. Find meetups or collabs, and where they don't exist, create them!" #newy #newcastleNSW #shoplocalnewcastle #supportlocal #newcastlecommunity #newcastleaustralia #newcastleau #SmallBusinessOwner #smallbusiness #shopsmall #smallbiz #momswhowork #momtrepreneur #savvybusinessowner #beingboss #smartsuccess #smallbrand #girlboss #homebusiness #smallbusinesslove #startupbusiness #startupstory #beyourownboss #entrepreneursofinstagram #womensupportingwomen #bosschick #womenwhohustle #womenpower #wahm #businesspassion See more

02.01.2022 Ever wondered what my process is? If you are looking to book a design project with The Wild Now, here's a little look at the process: 1 Send me an email or DM so I can send you a fun little proposal with pricing and details of my services.... 2 Let's meet! My favourite part of the job is getting to meet you and listening to you share your business goals! It's so exciting to be a part of making your dreams a reality! 3 Time to get all the official stuff out of the way. Pay a deposit & sign on the dotted line! If this step scares you, never fear... I've got you covered with a friendly payment plan! 4 Next up is a bit of homework to really get to the nitty-gritty of exactly what you want from me. It's very important for me to get super clear on your vision so I can bring it to life! 5 Here's where I do my thing! First up I present a mood board so we're both happy with the direction and then it's onto concepts! 6 Not quite sure? Let me know and we can make tweaks to the concept until you're 100% happy! 7 Nailed it! At this point, I hand over all the files you'll ever need plus some super guides including fonts, colours and info on what files to use when! My number one priority is to keep the process very simple and fun for you. I always make sure that at the end of our time working together you have received a logo or website that feels 100% like you and that you are totally confident using. #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #makeithappen #creativeatheart #wearethewildnow #brandstylist #femtrepreneur #womeninbusiness #girlbossau #theleaguewomen #businesschicks #ladyboss #ladystartup #shemeansbusiness #womensupportingwomen #graphicdesign #branddesign #logodesign #websitedesign #branding #creativelifehappylife #newcastlebusiness #mybrilliantbrand #newcastlegraphicdesign #brandshoot #smallandmightybusiness #dreambig #hustleandheart See more

02.01.2022 Beautiful Client Alert! Do you know those clients that are the dreamiest and most loveliest people? I somehow have a knack for attracting them and I'm not sad about it! I was so blessed to be able to work with Bonnie-Lee last year to rebrand her skincare range - MBL Beauty. After we had wrapped up she sent me the most beautiful message that made me realise people like her are exactly why I started The Wild Now. ... She said: "Your design has completely re-inspired me in every single way I needed re-inspiring. I feel so set in my goals for MBL now, you really have transformed this vision for me and took things out of me that I didn’t even know were there!" I totally get it Bonnie! Having a logo that feels like you, and that represents who you are to your dream clients is the perfect way to get you excited and inspired for a new year of hitting all your business goals! If you only have a little budget for new venture, don't underestimate the power of your logo. I totally think it's the best place to start!
