Journey to design
THE WHY
Not so long ago…
This wildly creative Fine Arts grad. from Christchurch New Zealand, started a dance school only to discover she liked building the website and brand more than she did teaching the classes - you live you learn!
Several web design and branding courses later and here I am, a Brand and Web Designer, who totally understands the feeling of overwhelm that comes with knowing you need a brand and website and not knowing where to start!
Lucky for you, I did the hard yards so you wouldn’t have to, and I can’t wait to help you by sharing everything I’ve learnt.
I’m passionate about helping women create resonant websites and brands that help them shine and share their magic with the world.
Are you ready to short cut your way to a new website & brand design without all the hours of DIY?
I PROBABLY SHOULD’VE KNOWN
That the quirky wee girl breaking creative boundaries & seeing ‘open for interpretation’ opportunities in her homework briefs, would end up down a wildly creative rabbit hole of her own making someday.
Right now I’m probably…
Coffee in hand, pumping mo town soul or Bowie in my beloved soft top Merc ‘Gloria’. Engaging in a school of Athens style philosophy debate on the meaning of life with my mum. Watching movies with my partner. Or creating something…anything - food, art, a website who knows!
For: French rom coms, indoor jungles, wonky pottery & whales
Against: Sheet wrinkles & shower curtains
PERSON I admire MOST?
My Mum.
In fact she’s the inspiration behind the name of this studio.
One of my most cherished early memories was sneaking out of bed and hiding behind the couch to watch my mum paint. I remember being in awe of the freedom, femininity and intuitive expression that came alive in her when the world slept.
It was the liberation of a wild creativity yearning to run free and express itself that drew me in & inspired me.
There will always be a compass inside me pointing towards a desire to be like that magnificent woman I watched come alive from behind the sofa - the Liberated Lion Creative.
WANT TO KNOW WHAT lights ME UP?
Creating! Creativity, beauty & excellence ~ They get me out of bed in the morning
You should know…I’m occasionally radical - canyoning, sky diving, black water rafting or swimming with the manta rays & dolphins are amongst my favourite memories.
I marvel at nature from huge wonders to tiny treasures like bugs and dew drops.
I’m very partial to funny dog videos
#1 rule = Kindness is king
Will I give you random facts about anatomy, plants or cucumbers? Maybe.

KIND WORDS
“I love my new website.
When people visit they enjoy the experience & see & feel a part of 'me' represented there - it’s interesting, different & stands out as unique & authentic to me & my work. These are not easy aspects to capture & create & I think Ballantyne nailed them. Others have said it’s visionary, easy to follow, creative, different & ‘dope’."

MUSES
Meet myThe Creative Alchemist
A synthesising visionary and true artist at heart - she is rare and almost mythical in her talents, insight and perspective.
Wildly creative, permanently curious, and hungry to explore and marvel at life and the depths of the human condition, she is passionate, and inspired.
Dedicated to her crafts, she cultivates, seeks and celebrates beauty, excellence in all things.
She seeks to harness and share the unique perspective of her imagination.
The Light Warrior
A deeply reflective mystic guru led by a peaceful heart and a courageous warrior spirit.
She is heart-centred and soul driven, the manifestation of Mana.
With a quiet humility and a gentle strength she speaks to a way of being that sits in respect for life, honouring the grace in others and herself.
Courageous with her integrity, she stands strong in the centre of her authenticity, and inviting others to do the same.
She champions goodness. It matters deeply to her that she leaves a positive ripple in the world and on the lives of those around her.
She seeks balance, constantly re-charting her path when it doesn’t align. She seeks to create a business and life that not only feels good but resonates on a soul level.
The Studio Ethos
Values:MASTERY | BEAUTY | INTEGRITY | GRACE
My philosophy as a Creative Director is to activate and balance the Creative Alchemist and the Light Warrior within, operating with integrity and grace.
I combine inspired curiosity, effective storytelling, and creative mastery, to unveil and capture the beauty and essence of positive impact brands and the soul-centred Women that lead them.
I know you’ve worked hard to master and pursue your purpose. I believe you deserve to be seen and celebrated for your uniqueness. It’s my mission to help you dial up the magic.
I’m passionate about meaningful visual synthesis. This is branding and design that goes beyond the visuals to share the richer layers of the human condition, it’s marketing from a place of Mana.
I aim to uncover the authentic vibration that will set your brand apart and help you feel inspired and empowered to courageously leave your positive ripple on the world, moving you closer to that elevated, abundant, aligned, nourishing brand and life you dream of.
