WHY CHOOSE ask.meraki
I chose the name meraki because it perfectly captures my approach to life and work. It's a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, and love - to put a piece of yourself into everything you touch.
My journey shifted profoundly after a health challenge in 2015. It clarified my purpose: the work I enjoy most—whether it’s streamlining admin, refreshing a brand, or planning an adventure—must be personal and purposeful.
I don't just tick boxes; I transform them. I care deeply about making things better, more beautiful, and highly efficient. Meraki isn't just a name; it’s my philosophy: getting things done, but always with heart.

Wanted to share some feedback on Nic for a recent project from a well respected international company we worked on together... Nic proactively took on all the learnings from a previous project, implementing a new process, and worked timelessly to ensure we didn't send product to anyone she wasn't (almost) 100% sure would participate. As a result we turned it around in record time with virtually zero errors or dirty data... We're now pulling costs together to run more of these this year.

This is either by interviewing consumers directly, or compiling amazing videos or showreels, or writing compelling reports. Nic is thoroughly dependable and always willing to help no matter how busy she is.
