About
Hi there, I'm Sarah, owner and founder of Digipixi.
My online journey started in 2000, the year my son was born. A friend gave me an old computer and suggested the best way to learn was to try to break it. He assured me that there was nothing I could do that he couldn't fix! So I started my online adventure on a vintage computer while enjoying the era of free, (yes, free!) dial up internet. Those were the days!
My introduction to design began when I couldn't find themed birthday party invitations or decorations for my son. So, I decided to make my own, becoming a Microsoft Word magician in the process. To my surprise I really enjoyed the creation process and l was pretty good at it. WordArt was my secret weapon, and soon, my designs caught the eyes of friends and family who asked me to create items for their events.
My fascination with the online world grew daily. Curiosity led me to experiment with website and blog creation, ultimately falling in love with WIX. Once again my family and friends started to notice the websites I was making, and they were interested in the blog I started. I happily helped them with their online presence, and FYI…if you dig deep enough you just might find some remnants of my early blogging/youtube adventures as 'Super Simple by Sarah’!
Social media, as we know it today, started making its mark not long after. I admit, I had a MySpace account, and I loved that it allowed me to connect with old school friends and family overseas. However, it wasn't until Facebook arrived that my interest in social media truly took off.
As time went by, the digital world changed, and how we communicate shifted from websites and emails to blogs and social media. This change made the digital space more dynamic, personal, and community driven, reshaping how we connect and share.
2010 was a pivotal year when I joined the wedding industry as a photo editor for a renowned photographer (she is still a client to this day). As she discovered my skills in design, websites, and social media, my role expanded. Eventually, I played a key role in rebranding her business, sparking the inspiration for my own design venture, Digipixi.
At the time, I took on a few select clients to have the freedom to pursue my other passion, weddings! Over the years, I explored various roles within the wedding industry, from bridal concierge to videographer, finally finding another passion, wedding planning and content creation.
The journey led to a rewarding 5 year run of my own multi award winning wedding planning business, where I continued to immersed myself in social media, design, and marketing. During this time other wedding businesses started seeking my help with their social media, design and websites. So I made sure I had time to dedicate to Digipixi and my wedding business.
Since closing my wedding planning business, I've been happily supporting clients part time with social media management, content creation, digital products, and WIX website design. I love the variety and seeing them grow!
Thinking back on my most rewarding work, it was definitely the crazy busy (but fun!) days of running my wedding planning business. Those 18 hour days, fuelled by passion, never felt like work. I loved the creative challenges, connecting with my couples, and making their wedding dreams come true. That feeling of fulfilment is what I strive to bring to every project I undertake.
I've recently rediscovered my love for designing in Canva, brainstorming ways to make things simple and easy to understand, finding ways to automate the boring stuff, and most of all, helping others create a life they're excited about.

When I'm not helping business owners online, you can find me hanging out with family and friends, taking photos, fixing up our house, cooking, watching movies (romances, action, revenge, Christmas movies – I know weird combo!), and getting my adrenaline fix with MotoGP.
Take a look around, and if you like what you see, send me a message! I'd love to chat and see how I can support you.
