Spoiler: The job market doesn’t throw confetti when you arrive with your certificate. You need a plan. You need presence. And maybe… You need one of our rentable blazers."
Our Story
It started with a cup of coffee and a conversation at one of the SheCreates Weekly Female Networking meetups — the kind of conversation that makes your brain light up and your heart say, "This is it." We were talking about the gap no one really warns you about: that awkward, invisible space between who you are and how the world sees you. Whether you're a recent graduate with stars in your eyes and a CV in your hand, or a small business owner who's absolutely brilliant but somehow blending into the background — we’ve all felt it.
So, what's the sitch?
Somewhere between the laughter and the real talk, we discovered something bigger than either of us could do alone. SheCreates brought the tools of brand identity, marketing psychology, online presence, and visual strategy. Dazzling Gem brought the power of styling, body language, and self-presentation that doesn’t ask women to change — only to step fully into who they already are. Together, we decided to stop waiting for permission and start rewriting the rules.
We created this collaboration because we’ve lived the awkward moments, the rejections, the overlooked emails, the doors that only opened once we showed up differently. Not less real — just more visible. We know what it’s like to be brilliant and unseen. And we know what happens when someone finally sees you — and teaches you how to be seen by others.
That’s when the idea took root. What if we could bridge that gap? Not just patch it over with quick fixes, but actually transform the way people present themselves — and the way they’re perceived?
So SheCreates, with our background in image consulting, branding, and a healthy obsession with marketing psychology, paired up with Dazzling Gem, an image consultant who doesn’t just understand outer beauty — she translates it into power. She sees the things most people miss: posture, presence, polish. She knows how to prep you for an interview in a way that says, "I’m confident, capable, and still me."
But we’re also full of hope. We’re here to grow. To learn. To climb. That’s why we bring in guest speakers and experts for special sessions—things like self-defense classes, calmness yoga, interview coaching, or even tools to build confidence in tough conversations. These aren’t your average “workshops.” They’re specifically designed to empower women in every version of the workplace.
One thing we get asked often is: “But what’s the point of coming every week if people already know what I do?” And I get it—traditional networking makes it feel like you show up, pitch, hand out cards, and bounce. But we’re not about that life. The real value comes in the conversations, the unexpected lessons, and the connections that build over time. We’re not a referral group, but trust me—people do support each other. It just comes from a place of relationship and authenticity, not obligation.
From Entrepreneur to CEO - We have the full package!
We work with CEOs, companies, and startups who know they’re onto something great but aren’t quite sure if the outside matches the brilliance on the inside. With SheCreates, we start by analyzing their entire marketing and online presence — from website to social media. Then, we create a detailed report showing how that presence is likely being perceived by the public, potential clients, or partners. It’s often eye-opening. Because what you think you’re putting out there isn’t always what’s landing. We help businesses close that gap — with clarity, honesty, and aesthetic precision.
Need help beyond the strategy? We offer full social media takeovers, website redesigns, and online brand cleanups. We make sure your platforms are aligned, inclusive, engaging, and unforgettable.
But we don't stop there. With Dazzling Gem’s expertise, we also work with your people. Employees, interns, client-facing staff — we step in to help improve overall professional conduct, presentation, and neatness, both in-person and online. First impressions matter, and consistency across your team can shift how your entire business is perceived. SheCreates also offers training on company code of conduct, inclusive communication, and how to use politically correct language that welcomes everyone into the conversation — regardless of background, identity, or title.
For individuals, the journey is just as deep. If you're not quite where you want to be — career-wise, confidence-wise, presence-wise — we help you get there. We connect you with the right people, the right tools, and the right tone.
From building aesthetic, detailed CVs that go far beyond the basics to crafting impactful online work profiles, we take your raw material and polish it into something undeniably you — and impossible to ignore. You’ll learn what should and shouldn’t go online, how to make LinkedIn work for you, and how to create a professional presence that still feels personal. Not stiff. Not artificial. Just powerfully, beautifully aligned.
And for graduates stepping into the world for the first time, we’ve created a programme that meets you exactly where you are. "Remember when they told you getting a degree was the key to success?
Yeah… same.

With blazer rentals for interviews, body language coaching, makeover sessions, and job-prep support, we help you feel seen — and ready.
Because this isn’t about changing anyone.
It’s about revealing what’s already there, and giving it the platform it deserves.
So whether you’re a business looking to level up, a graduate learning how to walk in heels (literally or figuratively), or someone who’s just ready to be seen — we’re here. We’re ready. And we’ve got just the thing.
With strategy, lipstick, spreadsheets, and heart.
Let’s show the world who you really are — at full capacity.
