A Year of Growth, Creativity, and Connection: Reflecting on 2024
As the year draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the whirlwind that was 2024, a year filled with creativity, community, and incredible growth. From new projects to meaningful collaborations, it’s been a transformative journey, both professionally and personally. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights and what’s on the horizon for 2025.
A Year of Creative Endeavours
This year, I expanded my colouring book collection with the whimsical 'Cosy Cottages', its festive counterpart, 'Cosy Christmas Cottages' and then the Halloween-inspired 'Witchy Frogs and Wicked Felines.' Which led to 'Christmassy Cats Festive Frogs' Each project brought me so much joy, and I’ve loved seeing the delight they’ve sparked in others.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue this journey with even more imaginative titles in 2025. Stay tuned for some fun, food-themed adventures and more animal-inspired creativity in my colouring book range.
Community and Connection with MIB
One of the biggest highlights of the year has been my involvement with MIB (Mums in Business international), being leader and hosting networking events for the Bedford and Milton Keynes groups. From intimate meetings where we made amazing connections and learnt a lot to our bigger meetings that were buzzing with amazing female entrepreneurs, their children, incredible connections and collaborations. We had 12 amazing meetings, I’ve connected with so many incredible women in business. Our discussions, collaborations, and events like the #MIBAdvent virtual calendar have showcased the power of community and support.
What's coming In 2025!
Kicking off 2025 with our January MIB meeting, featuring TikTok influencer Essence, promises an exciting start to the year, and I can’t wait to continue growing this amazing network in 2025.
Followed by a marketing masterclass in February and courses that convert in March we have a lot of amazingness coming!
Launching the Content Creation Hub
Another exciting project I’m launching in January is the Content Creation Hub. Designed as a space to learn, create, and collaborate, this monthly session will help entrepreneurs and creatives develop engaging content I’m thrilled to bring this vision to life and support others in their creative journeys.
If you struggle with content creation then this is for you!
Championing Chronic Illness Awareness
As a chronic illness warrior, this year has been about raising awareness and supporting others on similar paths. My second collaboration book, focused on endometriosis awareness, has been a deeply personal and meaningful project. We published 'Warriors Whispers' our raw and real poetry book in March where my amazing daughter became a published author for the first time, I couldn't be more proud.
Celebrating Business Successes
This year, I’ve continued to grow my design services for entrepreneurs and authors, helping to transform ideas into beautiful books, planners, and graphics. From book covers to business planners, it’s been a joy to create alongside my clients.
I had the absolute honour of designing the launch cover for Lisa Lloyds number one bestselling book 'Raising the Sen betweeners'
I designed three ebooks for the fabulous Client Hunter and so many other amazing projects that I worked on including my good friends Lolly's 2025 planners.
Looking Ahead
As I move into 2025, I’m excited to explore new branding opportunities and take my business to the next level!
2024 has been a year of growth, resilience, and creativity. From balancing family and business to raising awareness for chronic illness, every challenge has brought lessons and opportunities.
As I step into 2025, I’m brimming with ideas for new books, projects, and collaborations. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey—here’s to another year of growth and possibility!
