Where It All Started — And Where I’m Headed

We all talk about our hopes and dreams.

Some of us chase them.
A few of us build them; brick by stubborn brick.

You already know I run a social media marketing agency.
What you may not know is… it’s a one-woman show.

I design. I create. I post. I plan.
From content calendars to Facebook reels, every pixel, caption, and colour choice is made by me—for the amazing clients who choose Twisted T Designs.

But today, I want to share where it all began—and where I dream to go.
And yes, it’s personal.

I didn’t start this business because it was easy. I started it because I was done.

Done being taken for granted.
Done doing the work and not getting paid.
Done pouring energy into someone else’s dream, only to walk away with empty pockets and empty promises.
Done designing ads for R100 and chasing payment like it was a luxury.

I was tired of putting in the effort and watching someone else reap the rewards.

So, I built something of my own.

Owning a business isn’t glamorous. It’s grit.

It’s long nights when everyone else is out.
It’s early mornings, tight budgets, and coffee by the gallon.
It’s saying “no” when you really want to say “yes.”
It’s learning to value your time, your craft, and your worth.

And no—it's not always easy.
But it's mine. And that makes it worth it.

What I Want Isn’t Flashy—It’s Fulfilling.

I don’t want a multi-million rand agency.
I don’t want to chase giant brands or sell out to quick wins.
I want to design.

Simple as that.

Give me logos that tell a story.
Give me ads that stop the scroll.
Give me content that makes people feel something.

I want to open my apps and see Twisted T Designs everywhere—on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube.
Not because I’m everywhere. But because my clients are.

---

This is where you come in.

To get there, I need you.
I need the brands that are brave enough to grow.
The business owners ready to be seen.
The companies who need real, authentic marketing that doesn’t cut corners.

Twisted T Designs is ready.
Let’s build something that deserves to be seen.
