Amber is the founder of Calluna & Thyme, a Showit website design studio built exclusively for the wedding industry. After years working inside weddings, she noticed the same pattern everywhere - brilliant, experienced wedding businesses with websites that didn’t come close to saying how good they actually were. Now she helps wedding professionals turn their websites into something that finally reflects the creativity and care they put into their work, while building a business of her own that fits around family, freedom, and a well-earned cup of tea!
