About Marie

Hi, I’m Marie! I am the founder of Crafty Fox By Design, but you can think of me as an external team member.

Someone who is working behind the scenes in your business to help you achieve your goals by taking care of some of the time consuming administration tasks.

Someone you can call on when you need to but you don’t have to find/buy a spare computer or desk as I have all that myself!

Why did I become a Canva Coach and Design Virtual Assistant?
I wanted to use my skills that I have acquired and polished over the last 20+ years to help other people with their businesses. Having spent time working in small businesses (and in small country towns) and now with my own small business, it has given me insight into what is needed to run a small business. Not just the practical tools and software but also an understanding on how to overcome obstacles.

How can I help you?
I love helping “behind the scenes” by creating templates, proofreading, editing documents, teaching, coaching, hosting workshops and of course, anything Canva related! Keep reading to see more information about what tasks I can take off your to-do list.

Where do I work?
The ability to work remotely and from home suits my needs as it allows me to spend time with my family when needed. This way of working has become more attractive (and sometimes necessary when dealing with major global events). 

What other things I am involved with?
For business: I am in a number of communities – Christian Women In Business, Freelancing Gems, Blooming Biz Academy, Digital Queens Mastermind, She Mentors, Beam in Business and Tatiara Business Association. 

For fun: I am a member of the Tatiara Hockey Association and Mundulla Hockey Club as a player, captain and occasional umpire and assistant coach.

Fun facts about me!
I am a dog person, dark chocolate lover and grass hockey player! Oh…and I have a very broad sense of humour! Feel free to share your favourite joke or meme with me.

TESTIMONIAL

Thank you so much for all of your help. I am very glad I asked for your assistance. It has been wonderful to have someone I can rely on to make changes to my website, help me to set up a mailing list and help schedule posts on my social media. You are patient and helpful with all my questions and have clearly explained the answers. You are a gem!

I engaged Marie to deliver a tailored presentation on Canva with our team to assist with efficiency and client experience. I fancied myself as a bit of an avid Canva user, but Marie showed me things that even I didn’t know!! I can’t wait to put these into practice as it will make things soooo much easier and more efficient. I also came away with a few ideas as well! Highly recommend Marie. Her training was so simple and easy to follow and the delivery was just the right pace. Marie allowed time to answer questions and share tips that was specific to our business too which I appreciated. Thank you so much Marie!

Marie’s training on using Canva was so helpful! Even though I’ve been using Canva for some time now, she was able to share an abundance of tips, tricks and hacks that has opened up a whole new range of projects I now feel confident to undertake. Excellent time investment for anyone wanting to go deeper into using Canva.

Marie presented at our conference this year [2023] and was amazing. She brought a lovely light humour to her session which made it not only very informative & professional, but fun too. Our delegates loved her and raved about what they learnt afterwards, which was both practical and useful for them and their businesses. I would highly recommend Marie to speak at your next in-person event, conference or webinar.
