Jo Olney, Senior Marketing Manager at Usborne Children’s Books
‘Tash is imaginative, positive, enthusiastic – and a joy to work with. I have seen more engagement across my Instagram in particular; with lovely feedback. Natasha has helped me be more me, if that makes sense, teasing out my thoughts and ideas on what I really feel and then suggesting ways to communicate them. Oh and she’s very technically skilled. I highly recommend her.’
