Testimonials

Working with Leah has been a blessing. She is quick, efficient and took away all the techie haze that I just couldn’t bear the idea of with Mailchimp automations and transferring my online course to Thinkific. I’m really pleased with what she’s done for me, in such a short time. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Recommended.

- Emily Jacob, ReConnected Life

Leah recently helped me with some branding elements for my business. From start to finish, I couldn't have been happier! Leah was great to work with and totally understood what I was looking for - I highly recommend The Virtual Studio if you are looking to revamp your branding.

- Claire Grace, The Assistant Quarters

Absolutely amazing service. I started a Wordpress theme change with very little technical knowledge and despite my determination , juggling two toddlers and trying to sort my business out meant that I got myself in a bit off a mess with the website. I stubbornly held up the S.O.S sign and Leah came to the rescue and gracefully saved me! An hour later I had a beautiful website and a sense of relief all for an exceptional price. I’d fully recommend The Virtual Studio for efficiency, speed and quality. Great customer service.

- Esme Talbot, Scruffy Little Herbert

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Leah for her brilliant work on our campaign. It was such a relief to have someone of her skill set and expertise work with us who had made it look even better than I had envisaged. We have had a tremendous reaction to it already!

- Victoria Darragh, EPAA

I would highly recommend Leah. We are absolutely delighted with the website that she created for us. Leah understood our brief instantly and worked incredibly hard and efficiently to ensure it was delivered within our timescale.

- Samantha Sutton, Best for Training

I would highly recommend Leah for any VA / design work required. I have used Leah for multiple tasks including designing an eBook (which I was absolutely delighted with!), adjusting HTML code, email marketing set up, reporting and more! Leah works efficiently and gets tasks done to deadlines set.

ON THE GRAM
We're living in a world with a lot of smoke and mirrors and unfortunately a lot of people out there are not showing transparency, but instead, bulls**t. - Whether it's someone boasting about their apparent 10k daily to another trying to get you to sign up to their program that will make you millions in just 3 months, social media is becoming a huge issue in filtering out the fakes to those making a decent time and doing what they love. - Don't feel like just because you're not making thousands every week that you are failing. The reality is that that we all have our own goals and ideas of success and these people are likely trying to be something they are not. - Those who that I know are very successful and are in fact high earners are actually the ones who don't feel the need to brag about it. Take that as food for thought.
Just one of the secondary logo variations we are wrapping up for our client. Each of the logos is designed to remain monochrome so that the rest of the brand and it's elements can really shine through - I can't wait to show you the final product! 😍
STRATEGY - COHESION - AUTOMATION. The three core principles we think many business need to follow. Without strategy how can you track your conversions, profitability and future growth? Without cohesion how can you remain consistent and relevant to your target audience? Without automation, how can you ensure your user experience is the best it can be or know where your time is best spent? All three go hand in hand but just by implementing one principle into your business will propel it forward. Take some time this week to make a plan on growing your business and implementing a principle.
Had a great coffee chat at @cornerclublos with @askhelenva today. Sometimes just getting out of the office and meeting likeminded individuals is the key to self-care and growth. How often do you meet someone for a coffee? If you don't, make a change today and start scheduling it in! 📷 from @cornerclublos
TGIF - am I right?! This week I've been kept busy with client work, meetings and keeping a toddler entertained! What's your week consisted of? I'm looking forward to shutting off for the weekend and having some 'me' time.
Received the cutest little package today from a fabulous client of mine. It's the little things like this that really make a difference 😍🦆
Last night we celebrated all things freelance at the IPSE awards and although I didn't get the result I hoped for, this morning had given me a fresh set of thoughts. Do you know what? It's ok to stumble and not get where you want to be straight away. Sometimes the good things are the ones that take time to come into your life and until then, you can only do your best and keep going. I'm feeling SO honoured to have made it as a finalist and to have met an amazing amount of talented freelancers, business owners and organisations of change and the entire day has given me the clarity I need to propel forward to the next stage in my life and career. Cheers 🥂
One thing I love about freelancing? Having the ability to spend quality time with my daughter without consequence or approval. Being an employee is neither an option or a wish for me. Being able to watch her grow is much more important and rewarding even if the security blanket is not there! After an already productive start to the week, this Thursday is THE @teamipse national freelancers day and awards ceremony and I'm super excited to celebrate freedom, growth and happiness with a bunch of likeminded individuals. Freelancing isn't just a job for me, it's a way of life 💕
A recent little submark from the cutting room floor. Although we're going in a different direction with the brand, I'm loving this simplicity!
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to relax under the sun whilst your business continues to run smoothly? Well...you can with a little bit of automation! We get it. Loosening the reins and implementing automation sounds scary, your business is your baby and you want to be able to oversee it's growth. Truth is, you're faltering your businesses chances at growing by trying to have your eggs all in one basket - it's just not the way success works. Book a chat with me today and let's discuss the next steps for your business to help you get back to being yourself 💕
