We help independent businesses

We're Angelo & Sophie β€” a husband-and-wife creative, digital and ecommerce team helping independent businesses build, grow and look the part.

Between us, we bring experience across web development, ecommerce, graphic design, reprographics, marketing and ecommerce management.

We started Hey Creative because we wanted to build something around our family, with the freedom and flexibility to work on our own terms while helping other people do the same with their businesses.

Why Hey Creative?

Big-brand experience. Small-team relationship.

We've spent years working across digital, ecommerce, design and marketing β€” helping businesses build websites, sell online, improve their brands and connect with their customers.

Hey Creative is deliberately small. You work directly with the people doing the work, rather than being passed between account managers, departments and layers of agency overhead.

That means we're flexible, approachable and able to understand both the creative and commercial side of your business.

Why we started

We wanted to build something on our own terms.

Like a lot of people, we've spent years building careers around work. But eventually we realised we wanted to create something that worked around our family and the life we actually wanted to live.

So we decided to combine what we're good at and build something of our own.

Hey Creative gives us the freedom to work flexibly while doing work we genuinely enjoy β€” and hopefully helping other independent businesses gain a little more freedom of their own.

We understand what it's like to build something from scratch, work with limited budgets and have to make every decision count.
