Executive Director and Founder of the Spicy Brain Collective
Our founder, Stephanie Ward, is a freelancer-turned-entrepreneur who now supports other neurodiverse business owners.
Stephanie has been successful in growing the largest of her companies to 7-figures, starting her journey as a freelance copywriter. As an experienced virtual assistant with a broad range of skills developed across 12 years as a freelancer, motivated by her keen passion for learning, Steph has developed a plethora of services in her one-stop-shop group of companies. Ranging from web design, to diary management, to product campaign development, to fundraising. Now leading a team of 9, she specialises in services for neurodivergent business owners, helping them to 'climb their mountains' and claim success.
We live in a time where differences are being recognised as something to be celebrated. As someone who faced more than her share of adversity, finding herself physically disabled with 2 neurodivergent diagnoses, Stephanie knows what it’s like to try ten times harder just to “match the normies”.
