Material.
Anything I find on beach, road, bush or on holiday.
I’m always on the prowl for anything overlooked by others.

Process.
When I find something I usually put it aside until it shouts out to me. Maybe a boat, a lighthouse, or a vine that wants to be a wreath.
Sometimes it works sometimes not.
For instance when I was flooded 2 years ago I used all leftover wood to fashion tiny houses. They have been a quiet success and I have sold most of them.
Latest at “old manly school house“.
I’m trying to be less of perfectionist and more just enjoy the process, and to remember imperfect is totally fine.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
