Hi there, I’m Elissa.

(Pronounced Ee-liss-ahh.) I’m a proud Novocastrian, which means I hail from the beautiful coastal town of Newcastle in NSW. I’m a beach & music lover, especially when it comes to alternative Australian music from the 90s and 00s, and even earlier 60s and 70s. I’m a tragic Fleetwood Mac fan, probably because being a 70s baby growing up in the 80s, it was blasted on repeat and I love Stevie for her strength and courage fighting for women’s equality.

Initially, I started off working in admin, then when we had our first child we started our own trade business. I still do the bookwork and scheduling for this business whilst my hubby is out on the tools. I decided to go to Uni and study a double degree in Fine Art and Internet Communication (a perfect blend of business and my true love of art and design).

In fact, my love of art led me to design, which then led to designing websites for my fellow market mates in the Newcastle community when covid hit. I had the experience from our own business and my degree. I fell in love with design and never looked back, of course I also still love art and will always be a ‘maker’ (Ceramics is my current love).

Apart from work and creative pursuits, I’m also a proud mum to two humans and a bunch of adorable animals. When I’m not busy with them or working on my designs, you can find me chilling at a local beach with the fam, grabbing a coffee and taking the dogs for a walk, or enjoying live music with my friends.

Thanks for stopping by, and don’t be shy to say hi or drop me a message!

How We Can Work Together

No matter where you are in your business journey, I offer flexible, thoughtful design support to meet you there. Here’s how we can work together:

  • Just starting out? Let’s build you a professional online presence from the ground up with a semi-custom or fully custom website that reflects your values and connects with your audience.

  • Outgrown your DIY site? You’ve done what you can—but now you’re ready to elevate. I’ll help refine your design, structure, and flow to create a site that feels polished and aligned.

  • Need a fresh perspective? If your website is feeling outdated or disconnected from your current offer or brand direction, I offer strategic refreshes to help you realign without rebuilding from scratch.

  • Relying on social media only? It's time to create a home for your brand—one that’s yours to grow with. I’ll help you get clear, confident, and visible with a website designed to support your next chapter.

Each project is tailored to your needs—with clarity, care, and zero overwhelm.

My Values & How They Show Up
in My Work

  • I approach every project with heart. Whether it's your first website or your fifth, I’m here to listen, guide, and build something that truly feels like you. I treat your business like I would my own—with gentleness, clarity, and respect.

  • You can count on honest advice, clear timelines, and no tech jargon. I believe in showing up, doing what I say I’ll do, and always being transparent about what works and what doesn’t.

  • I don’t just hand over a website—I make sure you understand how to use it confidently. I’ll show you how to update your site, tweak things over time, and feel fully in control of your online home.

  • I work with people who genuinely care about what they do. I believe in meaningful design that reflects purpose, and in creating spaces online that feel like a true extension of who you are.

Get to know me…

  • I LOVE Spring. Nothing beats that feeling when the sun starts to warm the days and its almost beach time. Im also partial to a hot day as long as it isn’t ridiculously humid ;)

  • I have pretty diverse taste in music! I listen to lots of vintage records so Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac get a good work out. But im also a big fan of Australia Alternative I spent lots of summers at “Big Day Outs” and “Homebakes”. May have even named my daughter after a singer…. Curious? Ask me.

  • Long black. My fav coffee beans are from a Sydney Roasting company “Pablo & Rusty”.

  • Definitely sunset! I am not a morning person at all. My creativity is at its peak around 10pm
