About US

Hey, I’m Mel, also known as The Urban Freelancer!

Born and raised across the pond in the UK, I moved to Canada in my 20s, I came up in the tech industry (fun fact: I used to configure IBM servers for huge, well known corporations!) – a career I loved but after having children I wanted to find a career that made my soul happy. In that search I dabbled in small business where I met many of the amazing local brands that are on the scene making noise today. In Vancouver we are lucky to have a culture that seems extra in tune with women entrepreneurs and I was lucky enough to work alongside many of them. As my mind turned to web development and branding, I had the pleasure of working with many of these local businesses doing logo designs, branding, packaging, web development and so much more. As these businesses grew, I grew too. I honed my skills and curated an amazing team of senior developers.

Before you knew it I had found my passion, not only as a web developer, designer, etc, but as a full business development service. Myself, and the team are here to offer you everything you need, as well as the things you don’t even know you need yet, to help your business grow! From product sourcing, to website SEO, we are a full spectrum business development team and we are here to help you!
