About Us

We’re your growth partner and learning platform, here to guide ambitious women like you on your journey to balanced success—because you deserve it all.


Our story began in early 2020—right before the world turned upside down. What started as a boutique web design studio quickly evolved into something much bigger: a mission to help women adapt, thrive, and break barriers in business.

Our first clients were hair and beauty entrepreneurs, blind-sighted by lockdowns that closed their salon doors overnight. Through elegant web design, and smart digital strategies, we helped them not just survive—but thrive. In those moments, we saw the power of resilience, the importance of support, and the magic that happens when women lift each other up.

As our client base grew, so did our vision. We partnered with female founders across various industries—women driven by passion and purpose, building businesses that prioritised impact over profit. But as we worked alongside these inspiring entrepreneurs, we noticed something was missing: a true sense of sisterhood and community.

So, we started asking ourselves:

  • How can we empower aspiring founders to take their first bold steps—and give them the confidence to fly?

  • How can we help established entrepreneurs scale their businesses without sacrificing their well-being or losing the joy that sparked their journey?

  • And how can we remind every ambitious woman that she’s never alone in this?

That’s when it clicked. The best journeys aren’t meant to be walked alonethey’re  powered by the right tools, guidance, and camaraderie.

So, we pivoted.

High Flying Design relaunched as more than just a web design studio. We became a growth partner and learning platform—a space where ambitious women feel seen, supported, and unstoppable. It’s where practical strategies meet balance-focused insights, and a vibrant community of high-flyers come together.

Because we believe this: achieving your sky-high dreams shouldn’t come at the expense of your joy. You really can have it all—and we’re here to help you prove it.

Why do I help female high-flyers like you achieve their potential? Because I’ve been there—I know what it feels like to be underestimated.

Growing up, I dreamed of building my own business long before I knew what that business would look like. By my teenage years, I’d set my sights on transforming my love of writing into a career that was both meaningful and mine. But to the people around me, my ambition seemed unrealistic. They didn’t see what I saw.

In 2017, I graduated with a first-class BA (Hons) in Fashion Journalism. That launched me into a career in marketing, where I honed my skills in-house and later at a tech agency, becoming Assistant Director of Marketing & Operations. I loved the work, but my entrepreneurial spirit refused to be sidelined.

In 2020, I made the leap. High Flying Design began as a boutique web design studio dedicated to helping women-led businesses not just survive but thrive—even in the fae of uncertainty. With each project, I discovered a deeper purpose: empowering women to rise higher than they ever thought possible.

By 2024, it was time to expand the vision. High Flying Design evolved into the platform it is today—a growth partner, learning hub, and community where ambitious women like you are equipped with the tools and inspiration to fly higher.

Because when women achieve their sky-high dreams, we show the world—and ourselves—what’s truly possible.
