About me

Focus, strategy, and support —
from someone who actually gets it.

I’m Becki, operations and finance professional, systems nerd, and business wingwoman for design-based business founders who are ready to grow with intention.

I am an experienced CFO/COO specialising in design operations management. Over the last 18 years I have worked with many businesses from start ups to global tech brands to help them streamline their processes and workflows in order to achieve maximum efficiencies and perhaps more importantly, award winning customer experiences.

your agency?

Most creative agencies are leaking money — and have no idea where.

Not because they're bad at their craft. Because nobody ever taught them the business side.

Answer 12 questions. Get your score. Walk away with your top priorities.
