Who am I and what is My Story:

Ginette here, how are you doing?

I have often wondered how many people actually read a BIO to better understand who they would potentially work with- but of coarse we all a bit nosy (yeah, I see you) and want to feel a connection to the person we want to work with on our small business . Well, here is a little bit about me. Hopefully knowing more about who I am and where I come from makes your decision to work with me easier.

I am originally from South Africa, I am happily married with 2 beautiful young children (who are weird, and silly and definitely got the crazy gene from me) and it's thanks to them that I took time out from my previous profession to look after them. Having taken the time off I finally took the plunge and decided a career change was in order. After living in SA for most of my life, we lived in Dubai for a few years before deciding to move to the UK to raise our family (at 30 weeks pregnant with 2 cats in tow, I can honestly say it was an experience I’ve yet to put into words). We now are settled in a lovely village in Surrey.

 I worked in the fashion industry (buying and e-commerce business development) for many years and different countries, but since becoming a mom, I couldn’t imagine leaving my little ones for weeks at a time travelling (yes it’s an amazing job and perks, but honestly it is gruelling and exhausting).

I used to help many of my friends with the design of their websites for their small businesses, and have designed many logos and branding for them in my spare time- (thanks to my little ones and my little business, I have no idea what spare time is anymore).

I have worked on a few different website platforms and through my experience I have found that Squarespace is the platform I came back to every time and therefore highly recommend it as the platform to take you and your business to the next level. By the end of our project, I can confidently say that you will have the confidence in taking over 100 % control of your website- thanks to my recorded tutorials and help after launch.

I am here for you and your business, I am passionate about what I do and I love meeting all you wonderful small businesses and hearing your story. Let’s get designing.

Ginette.
