SME Studio
Strategic Partnership for Women in Business
Clarity, growth, and grounded leadership without the overwhelm.
I’m not a consultant who learned business from a textbook.
I’m a business owner who’s lived it.
With a degree in business psychology and 14 years leading, growing, and scaling a bricks and mortar business with 10 staff and a coaching business for small businesses, I understand how people think and how that shows up in leadership, decision-making, and business growth. For better or for burnout.
SME Studio is a space for women who are already in it.
Women making real decisions, carrying real responsibility, and craving space to think clearly and lead with intention.
This is where you get strategic clarity, grounded support, and experienced partnership so your next steps are smart, profitable and sustainable.
Having a Strategic Business Partner feels like someone turning on the light in a room you’ve been navigating in the dark.
Sarieta Visser - Boundless Vision
“Kelly offers a level of insight and understanding that only years of business and life experience can teach. This means that she is able to relate to businesses in a wide variety of industries, because she sees and understands the humans in the middle of them. Having someone that offers insights and can help you navigate your journey as a business owner is something we all need, and that’s why I would recommend working with Kelly to anyone. She brings business experience, and a deep understanding of people - a combination that is extremely valuable. If you are looking for a Coach, I highly recommend talking to her! Sarieta - Boundless Vision.”
Marika - Summit Life Creative
“I just want to say thank you to you. I can’t even begin to explain the massive shift in my mindset that has already begin as a result. Thank you for validating me, letting me vent and providing me with the tools to move forward. Your knowledge, understanding and support is so powerful. You are such a source for wisdom and empowerment.”
Simon + Amy - Fraemohs Homes
“Working with Kelly has been one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made. We started with her doing socials for one of my businesses, and I loved working with her so much. She’s creative, strategic, and makes the whole process so enjoyable. I am so happy with the results we were getting - our engagement and presence grew noticeably - and I felt completely confident in her expertise. Kelly balances professionalism with kindness and empathy, and she’s genuinely fun to work with. I couldn’t recommend her enough”
Amy Bourke - Blank Canvas Catering
“After seeing the results Kelly achieved with my other business, I asked her to help with Blank Canvas too. What started as social media support has grown into strategy and coaching work, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s an amazing sounding board - knowledgeable, insightful, and full of practical, actionable ideas. Our working relationship is incredibly collaborative and inspiring, and she’s helped me find clarity and direction in both my business and leadership approach. I honestly couldn’t recommend her services more.”
