A dream team of creatives
Writing The Empowered Entrepreneur was the easy part, but if I wanted it to be worthy of my discerning and style conscious audience I knew I needed to draft in the dream team to bring it to life. First in that team was Fiona Humberstone, The Brand Stylist, the only person I could imagine doing the creative direction justice. Her incredible vision, thorough understanding of my brand, and our shared love of inspiring and empowering entrepreneurs were just a few of the things that made Fiona as my choice of book designer and stylist a total no brainer. Fiona has done incredible work on pulling together the creative direction for the book and executing it into something beautiful and worthy of any entrepreneurial coffee table. I’m looking forward to sharing more about our process over on the blog.
Inspiring Photography
For the book to be the inspiring feast for the senses Fiona and I hoped it would be, we knew it needed to feature an abundance of beautiful photography. We knew it was important to invest in professional photography and a styled shoot, directed by Fiona and shot by the lovely Cathy Pyle gave us some stunning images to weave into the design. Cathy is so lovely to work with and brings a quiet calm both with her presence and her beautiful work.

A cover image to step into
Katie Spicer so kindly stepped out of maternity leave for us to shoot the cover and work her photographic mojo. With Fiona working her styling magic again, I’m so thrilled with what Katie has captured. We were delighted and grateful to include more of her beautiful work within the book too.
Weaver of light and photographic magic
Cecelina Tornberg creates beautiful wedding and event photography and is a utter joy to work with. I’m definitely happier behind the camera than in front of it, but Cecelina instantly puts me at ease and has an incredible eye for light and form. I was delighted when Fiona surprised me by including in the book some of the shots Cecelina had taken of me at The Brand Stylist Retreat in May. I’m so grateful to Cecelina for allowing her work to be part of this book.
Annie Spratt - kindred spirit and wild adventurer
I feel so lucky to know so many amazing photographers whose images I admire. There is one who’s work has captivated me for a long time and who’s aesthetic I can spot at 50 paces, her style is so distinctive. There’s something about the work of Annie Spratt that speaks to the wild woman in me and captures the essence of a place like no other. I am so grateful to be able to call Annie my friend and humbled to have her awesome work in my book.
Beautiful Botanical Illustrations
Gail Jones, completing the dream team.
I commissioned the lovely and stunningly talented Gail Jones of Starkeys Lane to do a series of illustrations to feature in the book.
Many of the illustrations are of the Bach Flower Essences, which, if you haven't come across them, are a wonderful tool for developing personal awareness and emotional healing. I have long been a fan of Gail's artwork and many of the remedies relate to key themes in the book, so it was natural that we would include them. Gail has produced exquisite work and I'm so delighted.
