About

Hi there! I’m Heather, a social media strategist and branding specialist.

Home decor lover, type A as they come... I live for a good risotto, am always in yoga pants, and love a good shoot-em-up action movie.

ONCE UPON A TIME

I built an award-winning home staging company which became one of the most well-known staging companies in Canada. It was challenging but also incredibly rewarding ... 

From a simple dream of wanting to create a business I was proud of to building one of the most successful and well-known staging companies in Canada, I learned the hard way how to build & market a business.

There were no manuals and very few resources on running or marketing a staging company. I had to learn how to do this myself. It often meant staging all day and then working on marketing at night.

Our success was a testament to not just the quality of designs we created but the marketing strategies I developed. Without both, my company would never have gotten the recognition it did. It was incredibly rewarding to achieve but after a decade of staging and a falling out with my business partner ... I started to dream of doing something else.

So many memories & stagings over the years!

Then I finally found my purpose, helping stagers show up on social media with style and strategy.

After retiring from staging, I took some time to figure out what came next. I'll admit, I didn't just fall into social media marketing. I invested time in learning how to hone my marketing skills (aka took a lot of courses), before I realized what my next step was.

All my business building experience, marketing know-how, and years spent in the staging industry made it a no-brainer to shift into helping home stagers level up their marketing. That's why today I leverage those skills and knowledge to help stagers - just like you - level up your marketing and show up with confidence online.

On those long days when I was both running and marketing my home staging business, I dreamed of marketing resources and services tailored specifically for my industry.  Resources that would save me time and enable me to create professional marketing assets. Today, I create those resources because I firmly believe that all stagers should know what to do and how to do it so they can market with strategy and show up in style.

Award-winning home stager, built & ran a 6-figure staging biz ... I'm an entrepreneur at heart who is a home decor addict and a total cat momma.

Top: Xander my cat. Me with the love of my life. Left, me and boys (all 3 of them). Right: My whole family hamming it up - together.

MY REALLY OFFICIAL BIO, the TL:DR VERSION

She's a veteran home stager turned marketing strategist who loves nothing more than spending an afternoon creating standout social media graphics.
