HELLO, i'M lALA!
Noodle lover, loving wife to Mr Lala and awesome dog mum to Kopi.
I’m an ‘acts of service’ person, I show my love by feeding you, or turning up at 3am when you need someone to help or drive you home!
I’m a big believer in random acts of kindness, being polite, and smiling at strangers.
I've been in business for over 20 years
Lala for Business may be new, but Lala in business isn’t.
As the owner of Paper & Ink Studio (formerly Lala Design), one of Australia’s leading wedding stationers, and The Creative Republic, trusted brands for over 20 years, my business experience is endless.
I started from nothing, all on my own, and have been through plenty of tough times. I’ve almost given up more than once. I’ve been exactly where you are now and came out the other end and thrived.
When it comes to business, I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get where you want to be.
Lala For Business
When COVID hit, I made a conscious decision to step up and help anyone who needed it and began offering free “mini mentor sessions”. The response… 68 small businesses from all over Australia and the world booked in, in just 2 weeks!
I was overwhelmed by the trust put in me and buzzing from the adrenaline of being able to help so many other business owners. My brain came alive and I realised how much I loved it. I realised how much I could really make a difference.
This was the start of Lala for Business.
I'm the person you want to be stuck on a deserted island with
Whilst I’m not suggesting we travel to an island together, I’m calm, resourceful, a great cook and funny AF, so I’m someone you’d want around.
Seriously though, when you’re stuck in your office, shop, or hiding under your couch wondering what to do with your business, I’m the person you want to be stuck with.
Along with my wealth of real business experience, I’m a dynamic communicator, giving me the valuable gift of hearing what you don’t say (really).
Helping is my purpose in life. I’m kind, empathetic and nurturing, yet tough, real and honest.
Sure, the truth can knock you sometimes, but with this feeling comes powerful realisation and clarity.
