Hello. I’m Frankie — graphic designer, podcaster & community builder.

I wear a few hats. I like hats.

Need help to start, nurture or manage your online community?

Well you are in luck because I know a thing or two about that.

In 2016, alongside my graphic design work, I founded Doing It For The Kids — a community by and for parents who work freelance and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done.

From starting a community from scratch, to moving from free to paid, to running online and in-person events, newsletters, and award-winning podcasts… I have seen and done it all over the past 8+ years.

So if you have questions about how to create, grow and manage a thriving online space that is all about real, meaningful connection then let’s chat.
