About Me

Photo of Mhairi Gordon-Preston, who helps freelancers & designers get more profitableHi. I'm Mhairi Gordon-Preston. I was a designer for 10 years, creating work for corporates, charities & small-medium businesses. I've now run my own businesses for 10 years, so I combined those experiences into business help for designers and other creatives.

I know the frustrations that can come with growing or starting a creative business, or going freelance, but I also know the income & the freedom that can come from pulling out all the stops in my own business.

I've been through the stages of not knowing what to do, of thinking I had to cold-call to find design clients, and of feeling anxious about marketing or having to makes sales. In fact, I sometimes still go through that last one! In my life, I've survived & eventually thrived through many challenging situations, including business ups'n'downs, redundancy, bereavement, and relocation.

As well as my life experience, I have relevant qualifications, including Diplomas in Coaching & in NLP, plus a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.

As well as enjoying supporting other business-owners, I'm passionate about the planet we live on, so my carbon footprint is kept low.
