Hi, I’m Elli - designer, wannabe photographer, and soon to be former florist with over a decade of creative business experience and an unfortunate case of carpal tunnel under my belt.

After years of running a fast-paced flower shop, managing a team, juggling deliveries and events, and trying to keep my brand consistent across every sticker, screen and swing tag, I realised something: design matters. A lot. But most small business owners are too busy actually running their business to figure out which file type goes where, why their Instagram bio suddenly looks weird, or why their beautiful blush pink logo printed as salmon. (Been there. Screamed into the void.) I learned the hard way that if your branding doesn’t match your message, marketing feels WAY harder than it should.

After some serious self reflection I decided I wanted something slower, so after ten years of early mornings, I hung up my snips and started a new and exciting challenge, an opportunity to expand on the parts of business I really loved. Most importantly a slower, more intentional kind of creative life that allowed me the freedom to travel and to work from home. Bloomside is a natural extension of the skills I’ve gathered on my way to where I am now. My mission is to help other creatives and business owners skip the confusion and step into their next season with a brand and a website that actually feels like them, one they’re proud of. I’ve survived the messy middle of DIY so you can bypass the chaos and go straight to simple, seamless, and stunning.
