Combine your business with your life in a slow, simple, and mindful way. So you love what you do, without burnout or overwhelm.
I’ll show you how to take your skills and passions, and turn them into a sustainable and profitable business.
Whether that be selling physical products online, in-person, wholesale, markets, workshops and events. Or teaching online courses, digital products, or coaching. Or perhaps you’re a flower farmer, florist, a restaurant, cafe or boutique owner, or run a venue events space.
I’ll help you navigate the fun creative and the harder business stuff.
Hello, I’m Ellie. I’m a textile artist, writer and photographer, as well as a creativity coach, website designer and online business guide.
I have created a business for myself that works around my family, my health, and my personal art practice.
And this is what I want for you!
Over the past 17 years I’ve run my business from the kitchen table, in the small hours of the day while parenting and building a house, and supporting my family with my income.
We started hand screen-printing and sewing organic fabrics in our little back room; the kids under foot. We’ve navigated market stalls, wholesale and then online selling with our hand made textiles and hand crafted recycled skateboard art.
Alongside teaching workshops, running creative events, retreats and markets, and doing writing and photography work - I realised that it wasn’t all sustainable all the time.
While I love creating and selling the pieces I make, it became harder and harder to keep a balance between life, family, income, and the quietness that we all need.
And that’s when I started teaching online workshops and craft courses. I haven’t given up handcrafted pieces, as they’re such a delight for my creative essence.

Hi, we’re Jen and Stephen
Viola was Jen’s great-aunt : a woman who always had soil under her fingernails, a straw hat on her head, and flowers and vegetables freshly picked to nourish the body and soul.
We grow our flowers on our family farm, children under foot, chickens scratching nearby, and also a basket ready to pick the freshest bloom.
We love sneaking out in the dawn light to see who has opened their petals, to tend to the toil and compost, sow seeds, prune, and while farm work is hard, we do - literally - stop and smell the roses every single day.
Flower farming is more than just a lovely thing. For us, flowers are music to the soul, a balm in an often grey world, and a reminder that a teeny seed has so much potential.
Come and visit our farm - we’d love to walk you around the fields and help gather flowers for your wedding, event, loved one, or simply your kitchen table.
