theallillustrationrimmed specs, I've got to talk about myself! Now, how best to go about this... I'll start with
obligatory 'passion for design'. I'd like not to sound so clichéd, but it's true: I love
things design. My main love is typography, followed shortly by grids/layouts,
and infographics. So yes, I'm a design geek, complete with the thick-
the pantone mug (5757) and the overly vivid imagination.

a global brand manager with an international English language school brand, an art editor for Career wise I was lucky to start at a commercial printers where I learnt everything you
need to know about print design, from concepts to plate making. That's more than 10 years
ago, and since then I've designed all sorts of things - logos, brochures, exhibition stands,
books and even wall art. I've been a senior designer and studio manager in Sydney, Australia,

from Brighton pier. Study Group, RotoVision Books, and now I'm a freelance graphic designer a short
stroll

Other than design, organising things well makes me unusually happy. As a designer,
I've found my perfectionism to be pretty useful, especially when it comes to managing
things like, production schedules, brands with multiple audiences, or all the bits and
pieces that make up 'how-to' arts and crafts books.

And I'm a fan of challenges too. Give me a tricky book cover design or a dense chunk
of text, and I get a kick out of turning it into something people can understand easily.
Oh, and I do love a good photo shoot. Having the chance to direct them and help
create the images that work with the ideas in my head always makes me smile.

I stay up-to-date with the design world through websites, blogs, talks and exhibitions.
And to keep me on my toes and I always have a personal project on the go. It might be
silly, sensible, big or small - it's just my way of exploring and keeping my relationship
with design fresh.

I have no idea why the photography bug bit. There is zero history of it in my family. In fact we are rather a sensible practical lot with proper safe jobs in offices.

Indeed for the first 15 years of my working life, I ignored my creative urges. Got talked out of an art degree, thought about it as a mature student, played safe. At 16 I joined Midland Bank, now part of HSBC, climbing the ranks to junior management.

The proper job funded the photography. I pursued it as a serious past time for years, travelling the world, building a stock library of travel imagery that still sells. This was in the days of film, and I shot on Fuji velvia slide film .....

I still love landscape photography in the U.K, and I was highly inspired by Annabel Williams who was shooting kids & families outside, with fabulous natural scenery backdrops that were real, and utilising natural light in the same way as you would in the studio. Except you can't move the sun like you can a studio light.

I now do both, and pretty much have my own private outdoor studio at Parndon Mill, as well as an indoor one.

I decided I wanted to live life to my own beat on a dark day in 1999, the morning of my mothers funeral. The call from my boss, badly timed. He knew I was on compassionate leave, but still needed to remind me of my terms of employment. The insensivity never left me, and kick started three years of planning. I still played the corporate game, gained a promotion or two, bided my time and grabbed voluntary redundancy, indeed engineered it in 2002.

Many mistakes later, I'm still standing, happier than ever, doing a job I love. I've overcome some serious health challenges and truly understand how fragile life can be. I'm one of the crazy ladies balancing home, work and career on my terms. Sometimes it actually works! Mostly I edit at midnight, but make the school run.

'Your family photographer' was born out of a vision to document your kids regularly throughout their childhood, from babyhood to teens. I might start out as your newborn photographer, but I hope to photograph their entire childhood!
That's where you come in.
Don't let your kids grow up, just on your hardrive or mobile. Print! Put them on the wall, not the kids , but images you love, frame them, enjoy them! And of course I'd love to help 🙂

Welcome aboard

I would describe my style of wedding photography as photojournalistic. While capturing formal portraits are important, I also believe that catching the ambiance of your day and the life-force of your invited guests is of equal priority. With a gentle eye, I will steer your formal photographs to best reflect your personalities, while simultaneously documenting those subtle yet profound candid moments that make up such an important day. I keep a keen watch as the day naturally unfolds so you have an archive long after the day has passed you by.

High school introduced me to photography and there I spent my waking hours shooting film and developing deep within the dark room. After graduating, I set off to Otis School of Art & Design to study Fine Art Photography (2001-2005), where I was introduced to art theory and artist's studio practices. After college, I flexed my logistical side and produced art fairs (2004-2012) that shared contemporary art and design to communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and New York. Later I transitioned into a small business owner and made photography my full-time world. So if you will, find comfort in knowing that art and photography are a part of my physiological make-up and the path I've taken shows this. Art and photography is more than a hobby or passion for me, it is the frame in which I have chosen to work and live out my life.

My camera and I stay vigilant throughout your day, which no doubt will have many moving parts, while maintaining an unobtrusive and honest presence. Stay in the moment and I will support you and do the rest.

☮︎ ✎ ☮︎ ✎ ☮︎

KIVA LOAN PLEDGE - I pledge to make a Kiva loan for every wedding that I book. This is something that has been important for me to integrate into my wedding photography business model early on. It hasn't escaped me how becoming a small business owner has changed my life for the better. I am grateful to have had the privilege and opportunity to see my goals through. I believe when you are given a chance to work towards a goal that leads to a better quality of life, a life that you deliberately design for yourself, it can be transformative and ripple positively outwards. The empowerment that results is priceless and I believe that all people have the right to choose what they want for themselves and see their dreams come to fruition. Struggle is real, I've been through my share, and I it's time to do my part to help fellow builders and dreamers.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so reach out today to tell me about your party.

I'm offering services for one *free* wedding in 2020 if you were a child of an immigrant. Learn more here.

Photography packages begin at $2,100 and I travel worldwide.

Failure hurts. Watching something you've poured endless amounts of time and energy in, only to see it crumble before you will hurt like hell. It'll be like a physical punch to the gut, and it will paralyze you. It's no wonder that entrepreneurs avoid failure like the plague.

But startups don't die; they commit suicide. And often in spectacular fashion.

A startup can go under for a variety of reasons. While founders can stand around and point fingers at each other, attribute it to forces outside of their control, or just blame bad luck. The reality is that startup failure is often like the Titanic and the iceberg. The factors that lead to catasrophe are often refused to be acknowledged until the ship is already sinking.

The reality of the situation is you are more likely to fail than you are to succeed. If you're defining startup failure as the inability to deliver on the projected return of investment, then 95% of startups are failures.

Startup Case Studies

But there is no greater teacher than failure. Studies have even shown that organizations learnt more from failure than success, and even retain the knowledge longer. If you're going to be an entrepreneur then you better get used to failing, it will become an inevitable part of your life. Don't run from it, embrace it and see what lessons you can learn from it.

By analyzing the post-mortems of various failed startups here are the expected and not-so-expected reasons why they failed and what you can learn from their mistakes. Watch out for those icebergs.
Get Your Checklist on What These 4 Startup Case Studies Can Teach You About Failure!
Be wary of the Pivot

Fab was once known as ' the world's fastest growing startup' and was valued at over at $1 billion before it ultimately crashed. Fab underwent a variety of changes as a gay social network, a daily flash sales site, to 'the world's design store', before finally be sold off to PCH, for a reported $15 million in cash and stock.

Fab is both a success story and cautionary tale to entrepreneurs about the risks of pivoting. A pivot generally means that a business is looking to find a fresh perspective and vision to prevent themselves from growing stagnant. Hypothetically a startup should constantly be evaluating data: measuring the market, contemplating new strategies, testing new products. A pivot allows a business to forge ahead in a new direction when either the opportunity is clear, or the current strategy is failing.

"Once we made the decision to pivot, we committed to doing one thing and doing it well. No distractions." - Jason Goldberg, cofounder and CEO of Fab.

Fab was originally known as Fabulis a gay social networking site before pivoting wonderfully into a daily flash sales site for independent artists. Cofounders Jason Goldberg and Bradford Shellhammer admitted to themselves that Fabulis wasn't turning out to be the success that they hoped, being stuck at 150,000 users for the last few months. It was time to pivot.

The data they had gathered from Fabulis illuminated a real hole in the design market. People were looking for an easy and accessible way to purchase unique and interesting designerware. So they pivoted and became a daily flash sales site for designer housewares, accessories, clothing, and jewellery. The move paid off with Fab growing to over 10 million users, and reportedly generating more than $200,000 everyday.

Two years later after the initial pivot, despite a shaky business model, Fab decided to pivot again. This time looking to become a designer alternative to Amazon and Ikea. Coupled with a failed attempt to expand into the European market, Fab began its spectacular fall.

The first and foremost requirement for a pivot to truly succeed is it must solve a major problem. At the time Fab was a hugely successful company, despite the fact that the daily flash sales model wasn't sustainable in the long-term, choosing to drastically scale down their product offerings moved too far from their identity as a designer store. Fab ultimately created another problem while prematurely trying to solve another.

It's only natural for a struggling startup to pivot, especially when the alternative is to remain stagnant and unprofitable. However as Fab demonstrated, pivoting for the sake of pivoting, or to expand on a shaky business model will almost always guarantee disaster for any entrepreneur out there. No matter how much money you've raised.

Too big to handle

Webvan was the biggest flop during the dotcom era of startups. At its peak, in 1999, it was valued at $1.2 billion. Two years later they filed for bankruptcy, laid off 2000 employees, and closed up shop. Webvan could potentially be considered a startup ahead of its time, their vision was a home-delivery service for groceries, where customers could order their groceries online, but that's not where the problem lies. 15 years later it's still being studied by business schools around the world as a forewarning against excess and ambition. Here's the cliff notes edition.

Webvan can also be considered a product of its time, the result was that it followed the ' Get Big Fast' (GBF) business model that every other startup was religiously following at the time. Much like how Eric Ries's lean startup methodologycan be considered the bible for this generation of entrepreneurs. So in 1999 Webvan announced they would expand to 26 major cities. The following two years became a logistical nightmare with Webvan ultimately losing a total of $830 million before filing for bankruptcy.

"Webvan committed the cardinal sin of retail, which is to expand into a new territory before we had demonstrated success in the first market. In fact, we were busy demonstrating failure in the Bay Area market while we expanded into other regions." - Mike Moritz, former Webvan board member and partner at Sequoia Capital.

At some point every successful startup will have to start scaling up and expanding their business. It seems like common sense, but expansion should only be undertaken when a business model has first proven to be successful.

A few rules of thumb are that a scalable business model should be flexible to be able to adapt to different market conditions, core users and customers are evaluated and understood, and the business model should be able to operate without your direct supervision. Common sense right?

Yet according to Startup Genome Project's survey of over 3200 startups, 74% of startup failures can be attributed to premature scaling. Another key finding was that startups, on average, need 2-3 times longer to validate their market than the founders expect. This underestimation of an appropriate timelines applies unecesare pressure on founders to scale prematurely.

Despite early validation Webvan failed to consistently evaluate the data. If they had paid closer attention then they would've seen that their business model was shaky and could not possibly support their desired plans for expansion.

It's only natural for entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs to want to grow their business. It's easy to be blinded by groupthink and attempt to scale quickly. But as Webvan learnt, it's important to grow your business for the right reasons. To pay attention to the data at hand, and never grow for the sake of growth.

Be wary of who you get in bed with

I'm sure many readers will be familiar with The Muse an online business dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs by offering mentorship, advice and career opportunities. What you probably won't be familiar with is Pretty Young Professional the predecessor to The Muse and Kathryn Minshew's first startup that fell apart due to bad communication, legal issues, and infighting among the team.

Pretty Young Professional was founded by four colleagues at McKinsey, a global consultancy firm, who noticed the lack of resources for young women in the world of entrepreneurship. It had a simple vision, to provide a weekly newsletter and cultivate a community for young female entrepreneurs. All four were coworkers, friends even, who shared a similar passion and vision. A meeting was held; positions and equity were decided amongst themselves and written on a notepad. And that's when the trouble began.

"It came down to some pretty fundamental differences of opinion around where the business should be heading. I think, naively, we assumed that if we kicked the can down the road on some of those things, we'd be able to sort them out." - Kathryn Minshew, cofounder and CEO of Pretty Young Professional.

Despite the years you've shared together, the amount of in jokes you have, and the friendship bracelet you made each other over summer camp, conventional wisdom dictates that it's a bad idea to mix business with friends.
Get Your Checklist on What These 4 Startup Case Studies Can Teach You About Failure!
A study by the University of Auckland Business School found that while maintaining strong friendships with co-workers generally improves work productivity and morale it also creates a dilemma when trying to reconcile personal relationships with professional decision-making. In business it's required that you have to make the logical and necessary decisions in order to benefit your company, even at the cost of personal friendships.

11 months in, the four founders of Pretty Young Professional had split into two camps due to differences in opinion and a coup was staged. The legality of the original document was called into question, Minshew was hit with a lawsuit and called to step down as CEO, and the editorial team of Pretty Young Professional had their site and email access cut. The company quickly collapsed despite calls from excited investors and a thriving user base.

While it is possible to work with friends and family, it requires completely honest communication, both parties must understand that it really is nothing personal, and, perhaps most importantly, vest your ownership. It's always best practice to ensure that you legally protect yourself and your assets, a promise between friends rarely holds up in the court of law.

The double-edged sword of SEO

Tutorspree was launched in 2011 out of startup incubator Y Combinatorand were touted as the 'Airbnb of tutoring'. The premise was simple, to help parents find tutors for their kids online. By 2013 they had over 7000 tutors signed up on their platform and has raised an estimated $1.8 million. Then the rug was swept out from under then and they closed down a few months later, after 3 years in operation.

It appeared that Tutorspree was doing everything right, it had managed to raise an impressive amount of capital from heavyweight investors like Sequoia Capital and Lerer Ventures. They were scaling at a decent pace, albeit not as fast as they wanted, and the business model was proving to be profitable.

However it fell apart in March of 2013 when Google changed its algorithm and Tutorspree found their traffic reduced by 80% overnight. While this normally wouldn't cripple a business, it was a catastrophe for Tutorspree. SEO was baked into their business model from the very start and almost all of their customer acquisitions originated from SEO.

"Nor is the largest lesson for me that SEO shouldn't be part of a startup's marketing kit. It should be there, but it has to be just one of many tools. SEO cannot be the only channel a company has, nor can any other single channel serve that purpose." - Aaron Harris, cofounder and CEO of Tutorspree.

There are many different types of SEO practices, but SEO is essentially improving the visibility and authority of a website by having it rank higher on search engine listings. The entrepreneurial community itself is very divided on the merits of SEO. Some believe it's uselesswhile others believe it's a necessary component. But all can agree that SEO is often a frustrating and difficult effort.

The issue with Tutorspree wasn't whether or not it used SEO effectively or ineffectively. The issue was that due to its effectiveness, the founders became blind to other models of customer acquisition and developed an overreliance on a model they had absolutely no control over.

Google's algorithm constantly changes and there's no telling how it will ultimately affect your website's ranking. Google has consistently proven to burn anyone that chooses to rely on SEO as their main strategy.

It should go without saying that you shouldn't be putting all your eggs into one basked. Entrepreneurs should take a lesson from investors and look into the barbell investment strategy. Entrepreneurs should invest half their marketing into a high-risk strategy, and the other half in a proven consistent strategy, albeit with a lower return on investment. When it comes to business, you can either live or die by the sword, or just be smart and carry a shield.

Start Up Case Studies

Failure is difficult to handle, but there is no better teacher. Although every business listed failed spectacularly, all of their founders got back up, dusted themselves off, and forged ahead to eventual success.

While it's easy to see all the mistakes you made in hindsight, don't let yourself get to that point. Failure can be seen a mile away if you're paying close enough attention, even if it means asking yourself some uncomfortable questions. A lot of businesses could have been saved if just the smallest amount of preparation was undertaken, or if founders had just a little bit more patience.

So now that you know the warning signs, try not to hit an iceberg on the road to success.

Here's what we've been up to...

Make Up Artist London's Founder and Director, Camilla Collins, was trained at renowned Makeup School, Greasepaint, in Hair and Makeup for TV, Film and Theatre. This included all aspects of hair and makeup styling as well as wigs, prosthetics and SFX makeup.

After qualifying, her journey began in the filming industry where she spent several years working on a variety of filming projects from short films and features to music videos and commercials.

It wasn't until 2012 that she assisted on her first Wedding, and after experiencing the buzz and excitement of the wedding morning and the sheer joy and happiness that the bride and her bridal party expressed on completion of their hair and makeup design, she was hooked!

She spent the next few years building up her bridal business, Camilla J Collins Hair and Makeup Artist, looking after around 50 brides and their bridal parties each year.Â Still wanting to exercise her creativity to itâ€™s full potential, she worked on photo shoots and editorials and when Halloween came around, her special effects kit was in full use, transforming the staff of bars and clubs as well as corporate clients and private individuals.

As time went on, Camilla began branching out into the Events Industry, trying to find a way for more and more companies to use the feature of makeup prior to or during events and in 2015, Makeup Artist London was born!

Our mission statement is:

"We want to combine the skills and techniques of makeup artistry normally reserved for TV, Film and Theatre with the magic and excitement of live events - making it accessible for everyone!"

This company aims to be trustworthy and personal because they want their customers to come back and possibly build "brand loyalty" a common tactic that brands use to bring their customers back.

On the website they state that they "plan" , "shoot" , "edit" and repeat. Keeping what they do short and straight to the point gives their customers a brief overview of how they operate. The prices are also very reasonable. a Full wedding documentary will only cost £125 and an extra £125 if you want them to film the speeches as well.

The company also holds a "christian ethos" which may appeal to christian customers or people who are particularly fond of christian values.

I am a full time professional landscape photographer, specialising in capturing atmospheric images of East Anglia. The clients I work with include the National Trust and English Heritage and I am a LEE Filters master ambassador.

I have been running 1-2-1 and group workshops in East Anglia for nearly ten years and I also run workshops in the area for the National Trust, Forestry Commission and Royal Photographic Society as well as leading photography tours to locations around the world for Tatra Photography.

I was very excited to have my first book, Photographing East Anglia, a best-selling guidebook to the region for photographers, published in spring 2019 by Fotovue. I've also written many articles for photography magazines and my images have been widely published, appearing everywhere from book and magazine covers to jigsaw puzzles and jam jars (you can see some examples ).

I am a member of two photography groups, Felixstowe Photographic Society and the Beyond Group, and regularly speak at camera clubs around England.

"There's a thrill in watching the first pastel colours of the day appear over the frozen stillness of a wintry Broads landscape or standing on a wild and windy beach as the sun's first rays skim over the swaying dunes... capturing these moments is what it is all about for me."

In 2018, after close friends encouraged her to start selling her Scandi-style ceramic wares, Isabelle Taylor-Jones set up a small pottery studio in her home in Wivenhoe. She named it Dantes, which means 'giving' in Latin and emulates the ethos of the brand: simple, tactile pieces that people could enjoy in their everyday lives.

Fast forward to 2021 and Dantes Ceramics has become a powerhouse pottery studio for influencers, stylists, photographers and interior enthusiasts alike. Her signature understated style has spawned a loyal client base and active social following. And her handmade pieces - from ceramic coffee filters and simple white water tumblers to speckled pitchers and graphite bowls - are guaranteed sell-outs.

So, where did it all go right? Isabelle talks us through the highs so far...

Why ceramics?

I love the creative freedom I have working with clay. I am continually discovering new and exciting results, as well as too many disasters to mention! I put all my energy and passion into every piece I create, combining beauty with function.

The business has only been running for two years, but you've already bagged some impressive clients...

My most memorable career high to date is the collection I created for the German duo food stylists Nora Eisermann and Laura Muthesius of Our Food Stories. It was a true honour to have my work styled and shot in Berlin by this talented team.

What are you working on at the moment?

A new range for autumn. I always tend to work a season ahead; handmade ceramics is a very slow process and collections can take months from start to finish.

Name your dream project

I always find this question particularly hard to answer, as there are so many brilliant creative people I would like to collaborate with. I have to say the ultimate dream would be Yotam Ottolenghi. He's so passionate about what he does - I'd love my ceramics to be featured in one of his recipe books.

What does an average day look like?

A regular day starts at 6:30am, before everyone else is awake. I use this first hour to catch up on emails, check through orders, answer social media messages and plan my studio time. Most of my business comes through Instagram food and style influencers, so it's vital I keep in touch. After I've packed the children off to school, my working day begins in the studio. I like to wedge clay and throw on the wheel for the best part of the morning. My concentration levels are sharp at this hour, although that is probably due to copious amounts of coffee! Afternoons are better suited for less focused jobs, such as turning bases, attaching handles, and packing orders. The kiln is loaded twice a week for an eight-hour firing. I don't usually break for lunch but I'll grab a snack after I've collected the kids from school. Then family life takes precedence for the rest of the evening.

Let's talk lockdown...

Like for so many of us, lockdown came as a complete shock. I suddenly had all four children at home, with the two youngest needing help with schooling, and my husband also working full-time from home. My pottery studio is at the front of the house so I felt like my creative space had been invaded. I'm a workaholic so slowing down filled me with anxiety initially. Once I'd put everything into perspective though, I learned to embrace a slower pace of life. Being creative with my kids, whether that be with paint, clay or the sewing machine has been hugely rewarding. Yes, we've yelled and screamed at each other, but we've also become closer as a result.

How have your shopping habits changed?

My good friend, Kay [Prestney, founder of Kinship Creative Design Consultancy] has opened my eyes to sustainable living, so I'm choosing to purchase second-hand and reclaimed items from local salvage yards and auctions more. My favourite auction house is Reeman Dansie in Colchester, which is great for fine art and antiques.

Have you discovered any new go-tos as a result of lockdown?

I've always tried to shop as locally as possible, but I've started using our fishmonger, The Wivenhoe Fish Company, who is now selling to the public from his home in Ernest Road. We've been enjoying local shellfish, oysters and wild sea bass. I recently checked out the Vietnamese restaurant Bambu in Colchester, too, which delivers amazing freshly cooked takeaways. I'm loving its Summer Rolls and the aubergine and pork main.

What do you love about living and working in Wivenhoe?

Wivenhoe is surprisingly metropolitan and liberal, partly due to its close proximity to University of Essex and the diverse cultural mix of nationalities and students. Its bohemian mix of artists and academics really add to the town's colourful setting.

OK, quick-fire round: best local bakery?

On Fridays I always look forward to collecting freshly baked sourdough from SuzyShack. Sue makes the most amazing artisan breads, pickles and preserves.

Favourite walk...

We're spoilt for choice with local woodlands and the tidal River Colne. I love an evening stroll catching the last of the daylight along the sea wall, where you can sometimes spot the occasional cormorant or egret.

Perfect pub...

After a long windswept beach walk, I love visiting The Alma Inn in Harwich for a delicious lunch. It serves up locally caught fish and game in a great sailor's pub setting.

Treasured independent...

The Wivenhoe Bookshop is a wonderful institution. Not only does it offer its own collection of diverse literature, but it also supports local music, art, and theatre groups, and hosts book clubs and knitting groups too. It's the sort of stalwart every community needs. As life returns to normal, I hope we'll all start to appreciative and support the independent makers and craftspeople on our doorstep that little bit more.

To shop Dantes Ceramics, head to danteceramics.com or contact Isabelle via the website to view her Wivenhoe studio space.

"A charity is offering a million children the chance to learn chess from tomorrow to give them an "intellectual challenge" during the lockdown.

Chess in Schools and Communities (CISC) along with ChessKid, the world's biggest online chess platform, is offering primary pupils access to lessons, puzzles and videos about one of the world's oldest board games.

Malcolm Pein, the scheme's founder, says he wants to create the world's biggest online chess club. "The same way Joe Wicks kicks in at 7.30am, let the chess kick in at 3.30 after all the home schooling is done," he said.

A child who registers on the ChessKid website starts with tutorials on chess pieces and the rules of the game. Invitations to quiz tournaments and other such challenges
