Meet Donna, Founder of Blushing Pixel Media
Founder. Runner. Visionary. Terrible Gamer.
I’ve spent the last few years behind the scenes of marketing agencies, building ops, managing chaos, and asking the uncomfortable questions:
Is this working?
Do we even know what success looks like?
What story are we telling?
Being diagnosed as neurodiverse later in life made it all click: my quirks, my pattern-spotting brain, my love of structure. It’s not just how I work. It’s how I’m wired.
I live for strategy, systems, and shifts in behaviour. I geek out over new software, AI trends, and data deep-dives. This isn’t just a job for me. It’s the way my brain lights up.
And yes, even the “Terrible Gamer” part has a story. The gamer name stuck and eventually became the name of this agency. But more on that in a minute…
Want to know more about how I work?
The Heart Behind Blushing Pixel
From gamer name to agency name…
Where Play Meets Purpose
Blushing Pixel started as my gamer name, a reminder to give things a go, enjoy the ride, and keep it playful.
That spirit sits at the heart of this brand, and that playful spark is still woven through everything we do today.
Alongside me is Zara, SparklingPixel (of course), adding her own light and energy to the journey.
It’s where all the lessons (the good, the bad, the beautifully messy) come together: strategy, resilience, and being human in a results-driven world.
Blushing Pixel is built with purpose, fuelled by care, and made for the brilliant people I get to work with.
So welcome to Blushing Pixel... buckle in.
The Way My Brain Works…
And somewhere along the way, I realised I wasn’t wired like everyone else.
Yep, I’m a later-in-life diagnosed neurodiverse woman. It explained a lot (for me and for the people who’ve worked alongside me).
It’s why I see patterns where others see chaos.
Why I can hyperfocus, anticipate, build frameworks, and sense when something’s off before it hits the surface.
It’s not always neat, but it’s how I work best. And it’s exactly why Blushing Pixel exists, to build systems, strategy, and sustainable momentum that feels right for the people behind it.
So what does that actually look like in real life?
How That Shows Up
I don’t do “because that’s how it’s always been done.”
I don’t do smoke and mirrors either (I can’t, it’s not in me).
What I do is pattern recognition, honest strategy, and steady momentum. One foot in front of the other. (Yep, that’s a running analogy.)
I’ll ask the questions no one else will:
Is this actually working?
Do we know what success looks like?
What story are we telling?
Then I’ll dig into your margins, team culture, tech stack, and customer journey, not just your Instagram aesthetic.
Blushing Pixel wasn’t built to blend in. And neither was I.
What you see is what you get:
Strategy. Heart. And maybe a hyper-focused marketing conversation or two.
What I Believe
I believe commercial success and conscious leadership can go hand in hand.
I believe business can be soul-nourishing and still deliver results.
I believe in two truths living side by side: the P&L and the people.
I believe that doing things differently doesn’t mean living in a fantasy world; it means building a better one.
And I’ll bring that belief into your business too.
If that resonates, we’re already aligned.
Working With Me
I believe marketing should feel:
Aligned
Strategic
Alive
And I love working with people who genuinely care and are equally invested.
Culture matters to me. The people I work with matter.
We’re all just humans at the end of the day, us, our clients, and your customers, wanting to feel seen and cared for.
Working with me isn’t rocket science. It’s clarity, consistency, and care.
