Independence, Excellence & Joy

Hi, I'm Natalie, SYLIN co-founder, and marketing enthusiast. I've worked in digital marketing for over 9 years working across the tech, recruitment, and healthcare industries. I started a side hustle 6 years ago helping local businesses establish and grow their digital presence. 3 years ago I started SYLIN, with one vision in mind:

I want to help myself and other small business owners be our own masters, share our excellence with the world and have fun doing it.

So here we are 3 years on turning that vision into a reality.
