Hello. I’m Jackie.

🌿 37 | Jackie | Mother | Gardener
🌸 Resilience in bloom
🌱 Strength beneath the soil
🎗️ Fighting lymphoma with love + grit

I’m Jackie—a designer, developer, gardener, storyteller, and cancer warrior. With over 10 years of experience building WordPress and WooCommerce websites, I help creatives, small businesses, and soulful brands bring their ideas to life online. I’m endlessly inspired by the beauty of nature, a fresh bloom in the garden, a well-placed headline, or a moment of truth shared through content. Whether I’m planting dahlias or designing a site that converts, I do it with heart, purpose, and a deep belief in the power of creativity.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with lymphoma—a life-altering chapter that has become part of my story, not the end of it. Through treatment and healing, I’ve found even more clarity about what matters: slowing down, showing up, and creating with intention. Now, I use my platform to not only build websites and grow gardens but to share my journey with honesty and hope. If you’re looking for a web partner who brings both skill and soul—you’ve found her.

Small and Micro Influencer PR Packages: Why They Work So Well

Micro influencers are changing the way brands do PR. While big influencers have huge followings, small influencers (1,000–50,000 followers) often deliver better results because their audiences are highly engaged and trust them.
