This is Beautiful Smart and Confident.

Hi, I’m Justine

Welcome to Beautiful, Smart, Confident. I’m so glad you’re here.

By day I co-run a small digital agency in Bristol called Chicken, where I spend most of my time on the creative side of our projects. Occasionally I write, hopefully with a bit more vigour now that I've made a blog. I like exploring the ideas, rituals, and stories that keep me learning and growing.

I don’t fit neatly into one job title. Sometimes I’m a developer, sometimes I’m a designer, sometimes I’m a writer. Most of the time, I’m a mix of all three. And That’s Okay!  This space isn’t about having a fixed identity, it’s about sharing the process of becoming.

What started as a small Facebook project is restarting into something new. A place for reflections on life, confidence, creativity, and the seasons we move through.

What you’ll find here

Beautiful: rituals, self-care, nature, creativity, and the small joys that root us.

Smart: tools, ideas, and insights that help us live more fully.

Confident: resilience, storytelling, and reminders that our voices matter.

This is not about perfection. It’s about being human. Being messy, thoughtful, imperfect, and still growing.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. And maybe leave with a little more light, courage, or inspiration for your own season of growth.

Some friendships are rooted in shared routines rather than shared values. When the routine changes, the friendship sometimes quietly ends. Not because anyone did something wrong. Just because the thing holding it together no longer exists.
