Web + Social Media
As today’s power-houses when it comes to marketing your small business, understanding how to leverage their strengths and avoid their weaknesses are key for small businesses, especially on ‘entrepreneurial budgets’. Mistakes are not only costly to your brand, but costly in time-spent as well.
With both my front-end user experience of being in these two channels on a daily basis and my back-end experience of developing solutions, I can guide you through the land-mind filled terrain of tools, options and networks to accelerate your understanding and traction with your audience helping you achieve success much quicker.

Print + Graphic + Layout Design
The most crucial element to branding is consistency through your marketing. In such, your offline marketing (business cards, newsletter, signage, greeting cards) all need to match your online branding (website, social media, email blasts), but the two industries couldn’t be further apart from each other; it’s like they don’t speak the same languages.
Having owned and operated a printshop and business centre for 7 years and working closely with hundreds of small businesses and entrepreneurs I understand both worlds and know how to navigate them. Plus I have the network of resources to get the job done by the right people.
Marketing + Small Business Operations
The life of an entrepreneur and small business owner is not an easy one. It’s filled with crazy days, long nights and hustle like no other. When you jump into a small business, you learn very quickly that you have to be all things and wear all hats: Accounting, HR, marketing, IT, operations, customer service, sales, and the list goes on. It’s a tiresome and relentless adventure to try and master all of these domains.
I was raised in an entrepreneurial home. I owned and operated a small business for 7 years. I studied business administration and marketing. I help manage three separate businesses, all from entirely different industries, sectors and business models. I’m a member and board director for the Chamber of Commerce. I’m a member of HUB@Ottawa. I live, breath and dream small business and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. I get a front row seat at how it all works and what needs to be done to make it work better. I take that experience and delivery it to you, including my wit and devilish charm.
