Hi there, I'm Nelett, and I'm a designer just like you. Life's always changing, and being a designer can feel like a wild ride. But we're more than that, aren't we? We're caregivers, friends, and life lovers who find joy in more than just our work. We're all on this journey, each in our own way, but somehow, we're together in it.
Here's what I believe: You are powerful, more than you might realise. In this cozy corner of the internet, I'm here to keep you inspired, motivated, and ready to take on whatever comes your way.

JOIN US INSIDE OF OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK
Welcome to The Beyond Design Podcast Room—our private Facebook space where the conversation doesn’t stop when the episode ends.
Here, it’s not just me talking and you listening. It’s us—sharing stories, asking questions, and supporting each other through the messy, beautiful world of freelancing and design. Think of it as our after-episode hangout: a safe space to go deeper, swap real talk about client dramas and creative wins, and remind each other that freelancing doesn’t have to be lonely. Inside, you’ll find encouragement, practical wisdom, and the kind of support that only happens when creatives gather in the same space with open hearts.
Come join us. Your seat’s already waiting.
