Hi! I’m the Co-Founder at Vida Creative, a creative and digital agency based in Newcastle. 

I founded the business in 2016 with my now husband. I had worked in various university marketing teams, and as I worked my way up I wanted more creative freedom that university life wasn’t going to give me at the time (and I had always wanted to be my own boss eventually!). 

We worked just the two of us for a few years whilst travelling Europe in our 30-year-old camper van that broke down all the time. Brilliant experience, but was definitely happy to settle back down in one place after visiting 10+ countries!

Fast forward to now, most of our clients are established businesses that are growing quickly. With growth comes new clients, markets and opportunities - and often they feel their brand needs repositioning to reflect the calibre of work they’re now doing.

This means we get to work with ambitious founders at key points in their business journey - what I enjoy most about the work we do as I love listening to other entrepreneurs’ stories! In more recent times we’ve also been working with a couple of different charities to build digital products that mean more people can benefit from the valuable services they offer.

Vida specialises in three key areas; bespoke website/web app design & development, marketing strategy & content marketing, branding & design.
