This one is personal. The people standing next to me in this photo didn’t just show up to the opening. They showed up with tools. With muscle. With patience when I changed my mind three times about the layout. My husband, my dad, and my mom physically helped me build this studio from the ground up. When I say this was a family effort, I mean it literally. I don’t have words for what that means to me. What I do know is that every person who walks through these doors and creates something here is walking into something that was built with an extraordinary amount of love. That’s the foundation. 🤍
Had an amazing time chatting with Savannah from @creativsprout about their exciting studio project available for creatives, photographers, and videographers. With their official opening this Saturday we simply cannot wait to see what the artists of Ballito will do with this space.

2 days to opening and this is what the last week has looked like. Furniture runs. Delivery trucks. Sitting in approximately 47 chairs to find the right ones. And watching our cyclorama wall go from ladders and paint to something I genuinely can’t believe we built. I had a vision for this space from day one. And in 48 hours it becomes real. The founding memberships are live — only 12 spots left out of 15. If you want in, comment 🐦 below and I’ll send you the link. We’re actually doing this. 🖤
Working out the layout for our founding members coworking space and yes, that is a yoga mat being used as a measuring tape. Girl math. Girl vibes. Girl build. 🤍 We’re releasing our founding memberships next week and only taking 15 creators. FIFTEEN. If you’ve been waiting for a creative space that actually gets what you do — this is it. Drop a 🐦 in the comments if you want to be first to know when the link goes live.
Day 1 in the studio and I already have tenants I didn’t approve. 🐦🐦 Didn’t plan this. But honestly? This is the most accurate representation of building something… you show up, something unexpected happens, and you figure it out on a yoga mat with your laptop. The mezzanine will be our editing suites. The pigeons will be relocated. The vision is very much alive. We’re doing this. 🖤 #studiobuild #behindthescenes #dayinmylife #femaleentrepreneur #digitalmarketing
This is why I do what I do. When my clients see their pages growing, that’s the whole point. 🥹 If you want pages that flourish, you know where to find me. 👇

Day one of something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I built @creativsprout from scratch — no formal training, just a corporate comms degree and a lot of figuring it out as I went. Design, photography, video, strategy. All of it, self-taught.
Now we’re building Creativ Studio. A space for podcasts, shoots, editing. For the people building something real and needing somewhere to do it properly.
It’s messy and early and honestly a little scary. But Proverbs 16:3. 🤍
Follow along — this is day one.

showing up online is genuinely hard sometimes. like, harder than it looks. but i keep telling myself… done is better than perfect, and authenticity > a flawless take every time. so here’s me, waving at nobody, laughing at myself, and doing it anyway. 👋🏼😂 if you’re building something and you feel awkward about it… same, babe. keep going. ✨#bloopers
Can we take a moment for this bag 👀👏
Spotted at @the_creators_za and honestly… she understood the assignment 🤎✨
This fringe beauty from @ngozi.collection is that effortless, throw-it-on-and-go piece that somehow makes the whole outfit. Soft suede, all the movement, zero effort.
Swipe to the end to see how I clearly cannot stand still for a photo 😅
If you saw me at @the_creators_za , just know the bag was the main character.
Finished.
Not because it’s perfect.
Because I finally said what I needed to say.
This canvas has been sitting in my house for months, holding a season of pressure, overwhelm and learning to let go of expectations, time and the need to get everything “right”.
I’m relearning that art isn’t performance.
It’s expression.
It’s release.
It’s healing.
This piece isn’t about how it looks.
It’s about what it carried.
And today, I’m a little lighter. 🤍✌️
