My story. My belief.
Let me guide you to your voice, as I found mine, empowering you with the confidence to redefine success on your own terms. Your terms, your voice, your joy.
If I can picture it in my mind. Believe it with all my heart. I’m confident I can make it a reality.
Over two decades. That's how long I've been immersed in the design industry. But the real breakthrough was after I became a mother in 2015, the rigor of returning to a full-time job hit me harder than expected. My confidence? It didn't just dip, it plummeted, to an all-time low.
For a year, I juggled, struggled, and strived for harmony. And then, it hit me. If the job doesn't fit, you don't squeeze into it — you create one that does. That’s when Tickety Boo Creative was born. A design agency not just built on my terms but founded on the ideals of joy and flexibility that every mother, every person, deserves.
Inspiration is the spark, the seed, the fuel, that will help excite and motivate you.
How did I get there? I found solace in hope, from little notes of positivity doodled in the chaos, I created vibrant, confident art. Each piece, a step away from doubt, a step towards a life designed with intention.
Now, I'm here not just to tell my story but to fuel yours. I've packed my two decades into a toolkit for transformation — for brands, for individuals, for you. Confidence isn't just a word to me; it's a mission. And my mission is to plant that seed of self-belief into everyone I meet.
So, are you ready to believe? To become? Because I'm here, ready to believe in you.

CREATIVITY IS A WAY OF LIFE
CREATIVITY IS A WAY OF LIFE
My ideas + inspiration
Creativity is a way of life, I am always having ideas and am constantly inspired by the everyday. I am a big fan of journaling as it helps me process my thoughts and ideas; it’s also full of my initial sketches.
I wrote the book I needed to read, that I feel I was born to write. ‘Wonder Journey Joy - A simple guide to live with intention, clarity and confidence.’
You could say my book writing Journey started 44 years ago, as I believe that all my life experiences are what have led me here to this point. To the point where I’ve just written, designed and published my first book. Creating it was a journey of love, and my hope is for you to find as much joy in its pages as I did in creating them.
Keep learning always
I have an appetite for learning which has been fuelled in recent years by a found love of reading. It helps grow my mind and expand my ideas. I enjoy most discovering new ways of thinking and understanding other people’s perspectives. I like to capture and share what I’ve learned through journaling and blogging. Here a few of my favourite books:
Essentialism, Greg McKeown
Feel the fear and do it anyway, Susan Jeffers
Dare greatly, Brene Brown
Make time, Jake Knapp + John Zeratsky
Playing big, Tara Mohr
Print love
There’s something special about print, the imperfections, the uniqueness of each print and the tactile nature of the paper. I love the strong vibrant colours you can achieve and get so excited when I finally see my designs in print. My favourite is Risograph and it’s my aim to own my own machine one day.
Flexible working + Tickety Boo Creative
I founded award-winning brand agency Tickety Boo Creative in 2018. After going back to work full time after the birth of my son, I found the commute and long working hours tough. I wanted more flexibility as I still loved what I did, this inspired me to set up a remote working, flexible agency. It’s allowed me to continue what I love to do and work with some incredible talented people. We work with big retailers and small businesses, helping them find their focus, make their brand distinctive and build a connection with customers.
