Less Stress, More Success: Serving Wordsmiths, Voices, and Visionaries to Build Thriving Communities And Businesses

So you can do what you do best — writing, speaking, and advising.

(Not worrying about your website.)

Does your to-do list look something like this? 

📧 Send out newsletters to your readers, followers, and clients. What are you even supposed to write about?!

💻 Keep your website updated with your latest writing, speaking, and podcasts  

📸 Take those daily, perfect-for-the-'gram photos

💃 Break out those dance moves for TikTok - who cares if you have two left feet? 

🐦 Exchange some witty banter with your fellow writers, podcast geniuses, speakers, book lovers, and blog junkies on Twitter.

📝 And what about "blogging"? What in the world does that even mean, right?!

All while writing your next book on deadline 📚, producing weekly podcast episodes 🎙️, or growing your speaking career.

And perhaps managing a full-time job and family responsibilities. ⏰

Yeah. No wonder your website and digital strategy have taken a back seat!

Luckily, that’s where we come in!

I’m Ann, and I love taking these digital tasks off your plate so you can focus on what you do best - your craft. 


My mission is simple yet passionate 🌟: 

  • Develop websites and digital strategies that you'll absolutely adore ❤️  

  • Inspire confidence because your website will finally reflect the quality of your work and be regularly updated 💪 

  • Transform casual visitors into dedicated fans or clients 🚀 

  • Help your brilliant ideas spread far and wide by growing your audience 🌍 

  • Plus, I want to make this journey as smooth and fun as possible! 🎉

📚🎙️ Here's a little backstory: Just like you, I'm a writer and a podcaster. My journey didn't begin with the intention of becoming a designer or digital strategist. I read a book by Gretchen Rubin, where she spoke about her decision to leave her legal career for writing.

And just like that, it hit me. I realized I also wanted more than my law career. I wanted to write, too! ✍️ (Little detour: I've wholeheartedly embraced Gretchen's life motto - "Be Gretchen!" It's a real lifesaver during those indecisive moments). 🌟

I spent the next few years soul-searching the themes I wanted to write about. Slowly but surely, I built my blog and started growing my online presence. 💻 As I started this process, I started looking for resources to grow my blog and podcast, only to find a lot of nothing. 🧐

I built Powerhouse Strategy because I didn’t see what I needed to make a living from my writing and podcasting. I'll document all I learn about growing a digital presence as a writer or podcaster on the Powerhouse Strategy blog, Momentum — tag along for the latest tips. And I'll be helping other writers and podcasters do the same. After all, I can never have enough books to read and podcasts to binge on! 🎧📚

Leave your website, newsletters, and social media in our hands. You can focus on producing the work that lights up you and your audience. ✨

The Powerhouse Recipe for Creative Success: Connecting Strategy & Creativity

Besides being a writer, designer, and entrepreneur, I’m a lawyer and a former management consultant (focused on tech strategy). I’ve worked at a major international law firm, a major tech consulting firm, and for the U.S. government.

A decade in the corporate world has given me a key insight: exceptional results are born when design and an effective, evolving, data-driven strategy walk hand in hand. There is no one-and-done website here; only websites updated monthly and tied to evolving data-based digital strategies designed to connect with your audience.
