"Lisa has a great energy, she provided a detailed and comprehensive strategy that has given me valuable insight into my business. In addition to helping me clarify my vision and mission, the website user journey analysis and communication territories have given me direction where previously I felt like I was drifting along, not sure of what to do next. I highly recommend Lisa, she is thoughtful, positive and knowledgeable. Working with her was a great pleasure."

Tanith Muller, Owner @ Tanith Muller Photography

"I am the director of a fashion house called Merwe Mode, we offer a variety of fashion based avenues, such as: bridal, production, commercial fashion, development, custom design, pattern making etc etc. I hit a blank wall, I had no idea how to portray my company in an orderly way, it was a mess, with all my offerings overlapping and spilling into one another,making it very hard for my clients to realise exactly what we do and offer. Lisa's passion for job creation and people development helped me realise that nothing is impossible, it took her such a short time to dissect my business and my mind and restitch all the valuable elements back together, making a sustainable transformation in building my businesses strategy. Lisa also touched on brilliant ways for me to market and advertise my company, I recommend Lisa as an efficient asset to anyone wanting to get the best out of being an entrepreneur and figuring out all the elements that get lost when running a business and forgetting the foundation it is based on. Thank you so much Lisa x"

Deeva van der Merwe, Owner @ Merwe Mode
