I launched my first business in 2019, utilising Shopify as well as receiving mentorship from Jeuneora co-founder Meg Falconer. I had explored web design and front-end development as a hobby for around 10 years, creating apps and games for fun on the side, but I had only scratched the surface of what was possible online. I landed a gig at Shopify in 2021, starting as a support advisor and working my way to become Team Leader for 'Plus Support' (large merchants) over the next couple years.

Working at Shopify as a Team Leader helped me discover my passion for E-commerce and business working in the industry. Hearing merchants' stories every day, the battles they fight to launch and grow their business, sparked my new-found passion. I had to be a part of that creative and ever-evolving world. Whether it's giving it a go myself or helping people find their way through it, I knew web design and E-commerce was where I belonged.

And so in 2022, BLK MOOR Digital Solutions was born - out of Wellington, New Zealand!

After spending some time creating websites and providing E-commerce consultations for friends and family, I decided to launch my own agency to help people get started in the digital world. I had the skills, so why not?

My first project was a website for a friend's theatre company based out of Wellington, 'Squash Co'. I worked with the team to create a site with merchandise, gigs, info & team bios over a week.

Then, a coffee brand from Christchurch, 'Vice Espresso', was in need of a refresh, so I spent a few weeks redesigning everything from the ground up. Seeing the impact the new website had on the owners kept me at it for while.

Finally, after helping a friend create his music portfolio to take his business online for the first time, I decided that E-commerce and web design were where my passions lie and I was wasting my time doing anything else.

So - why do I do this? Seeing someone earn their spot on the digital market and thrive online drives me to keep going. I love doing it it, have become quite great at it - and I'd love to do the same for you. Let's get started!
