Freelance Mum

http://www.courtsbalancedbodies.com

Hi there! My name is Jess and I’m based in Dunedin, NZ. I am mum to a gorgeous wee girl, and a business owner. I’m a bit of a Jane of all Trades, given my varied work background and current ventures. Here’s a break down of some of my core skills:

Blog/content writing

An avid writer, I love to write blogs. I blog (fairly) regularly over on my website The Mum Tribe, but also on my personal blog (okay it’s been a while since I’ve blogged here!). I’ve also written product blogs and blog content relevant to the beauty industry in my last job. I love to research and produce blog content that provides value to my readers.

E-commerce software setup

I’ve been through four different e-commerce softwares for my online store so far, and I’ve gained a huge amount of knowledge about each of them. Being a product/software person by trade, I pick things up really fast and can easily troubleshoot. I can do basic HTML/changes to themes in Shopify and BigCommerce. I’m also well versed in the importing of data into these softwares having done it myself a few times now.

Product management/Product marketing

My work background is in product management, and I have worked at an award-winning NASDAQ-listed company as a Product Owner and Product Analyst. In both of these roles I gained skills invaluable skills which I now apply to my business daily.

Using my background in product management, I can help you take your business from fledgling idea to fully launched. I can help you through the product development process to taking your product to market with product marketing strategies. If you already have an established product, I can help you grow and prioritise what you should be doing next, as well as help you with setting achievable goals for your product.

If any of my skills match what you’re looking for in a freelancer, get in touch and we can have a chat 🙂

I am a Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coach. I coach WOMEN with a proven set of skills to transform their marriages – even if it seems like there is no hope! Clients who have used these skills find them hugely successful even when marriage counseling has proved ineffective.

These skills allow you to live your ‘dream life’ and maintain a ‘quality’ lifelong loving relationship at the same time.

I’m looking for flexible work in Christchurch/remote suitable for a new mum. I can offer you skills in web design, graphic design, Shopify management, photo editing, user experience, customer service, admin and more.

Become a client at my business:

Shopify website builds and revamps for business owners who are ready to level up from DIY to professional and kick off those orders.

I wow my clients with magical new websites that take business to the next level. I specialise in Shopify where I design and develop new websites and upgrade existing websites.

I love working with passionate small/medium business owners with shared values – honesty, kindness, and love for our work!

Let’s face it, writing is not everyone’s forté – it wasn’t mine until I had to write a 60,000-word thesis! Having something to say or a real reason to write makes a considerable difference. That is why many of us tune out at high school and tune back in when we start our own business or apply for employment.

Writing is a complex skill. Having a topic to write about is just the beginning – you also need the knowledge and skills required to connect with your audience.

I have always been interested in written communication and how carefully crafted words engage readers. After teaching literacy skills in various countries, I decided to branch out and work with small businesses that need to outsource written communication.

Turning your talk into written copy is what I do best. Let’s connect so I can help you to communicate with confidence!

My name is Dawn and I am a lover of oat iced lattes. I have many hats. I am a Graphic & Web Designer, with a pinch of marketeer and a massive dash of mum life!

I bring 10+ years of graphic design experience and strategic marketing with prestigious international automotive brands as well as Maori SMEs, I am continuously looking at ways to improve how businesses portray themselves online, through visual branding, strategy and positioning.

Kia ora, I’m Jacinta and I’m the founder of Cintarella Stories. I’m based in Christchurch NZ and my mission is to support small business and non-profits with their communication. The idea behind Cintarella Stories is that everybody has a story and the potential to do great things, but some of us need a helping hand to effectively present our ideas to the world.

My services include copywriting, content creation, report writing, public relations and more.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) from Massey University in 2021. My first position after university was as a Communication Coordinator for a diabetes charity and I currently work with Christchurch’s largest PHO as a Digital Content Coordinator.

From concept through to production I can help you with Web content, Logo Design, Digital Marketing Content, Newsletters, Letterheads, Invitations, Corporate Stationery, Custom Prints, Wedding Stationery and Signage – I can inject creativity and deliver attractive and functional design to you!

I love coffee, eating noodles, spinning puns and bonding as a family during my downtime. Being flexible is important to me. Which means if you need something outside of ‘normal’ trading hours, rest assured, I can help!

I aim to maximise the information communicated to your viewers, which generally isn’t by writing an essay but by giving them something to look at and remember.

By crafting visual content with our design programmes, I can help communicate your messages to viewers on multiple platforms.
Identifying where people will look to first, using a contrast of typography and colour, displaying it in an easy and eye pleasing manner – we can optimise viewer engagement.

I believe good design should be affordable and not just for the big players. Hiring a freelance graphic designer (me!) means you get a design solution which is fit for purpose, affordable and stands up to the competition.

Fonts, colours, spacing, images – all of these meld together in a magic kind of way to give an instant impression. Design sets the mood and the message before any words are read. It’s my job to interpret what you want to say and come up with a graphic representation that says exactly that! 

If you have a business or a need for some good design get in touch. We’ll have a good chat about what you want, what you need, what you do and don’t like and will go from there.
