About Marie
Hi, I'm Marie!
I’m the founder of Crafty Fox By Design, but more importantly, I’m your behind-the-scenes support system. Think of me as an external team member – someone who’s there when you need an extra set of hands but without the hassle of finding space for another desk or computer.
I help small business owners like you get things done – whether it’s streamlining admin tasks, designing Canva templates, or making sure your documents look polished and professional.
My journey to Virtual Assistance & Canva Coaching
My career has taken me through a variety of industries, from insurance and real estate to steel supplies and engineering. Each role gave me a deeper understanding of how businesses function, the challenges they face, and – most importantly – how the right systems and tools can make all the difference.
I’ve always had a knack for organisation, design, and efficiency. Over the years, I found myself naturally drawn to helping others simplify their processes, elevate their branding, and save time. When I discovered Canva, it felt like the perfect blend of creativity and practicality – so I decided to specialise in it. Now, as a Canvassador (official Canva ambassador), I stay up to date with the latest features, tips, and best practices, allowing me to help businesses make the most of Canva and create designs that are both stunning and strategic.
Having worked in small businesses and rural communities, I know what it takes to wear multiple hats. I understand the unique pressures of running a small business, and I love being able to help others find clarity and confidence in their own systems.
How Can I Help You?
I’m all about taking things off your plate so you can focus on what you do best. Whether it’s:
✔ Creating custom Canva templates that keep your branding consistent
✔ Proofreading and editing documents so they look polished and professional
✔ Teaching and coaching you to get the most out of Canva
✔ Hosting workshops and training sessions
✔ Helping you with essential admin tasks
If it’s something you’ve been meaning to get to but never have the time, chances are – I can help! Keep reading to see more information about what tasks I can take off your to-do list.
Where Do I Work?
Running a business from home gives me the flexibility to support my clients while also being there for my family. Remote work isn’t just a convenience – it’s a way of life. Whether you’re a local business or halfway across the country, I can support you from wherever I am.
Community & Connections
I love being part of entrepreneurial and business communities, where I can connect with like-minded people, learn, and grow. You’ll find me in groups like:
✨ Christian Women In Business
✨ Blooming Biz Academy
✨ Digital Queens Mastermind
✨ She Mentors
✨ Beam in Business
✨ Tatiara Business Association
And when I’m not in business mode, you’ll probably find me on the hockey field! I’m an active member of the Tatiara Hockey Association and Mundulla Hockey Club, where I play, captain, and occasionally umpire and coach.
