Ideas made practical.
I'm Jacqueline du Plessis. Grow Brave Media is where I build things and share them publicly: websites, interfaces, dashboards and small tools that people actually use.
Most of them start with , , or a question I followed far enough to answer.
About
Grow Brave Media is the applied lab of the wider Grow Brave ecosystem: the place where an idea stops being a conversation and becomes something you can engage with.
Grow Brave Media is one arm of Grow Brave (Pty) Ltd, the operating company I’ve run since 2019. Before AI became part of the work, this was fifteen-plus years of marketing consulting, strategy and hands-on commercial problem-solving with clients across three continents, grounded in a background in psychology.
See where this track record comes from: testimonials and background.
Strategy, design, writing and build all sit in the same pair of hands here. That's the reason things get finished rather than described.
AI is part of how I work: it collapses the distance between an idea and a working version. What it doesn't do is decide what's worth making. That part is still the job.
Some of it is practical.
Some of it is experimental.
Some of it starts because the question “What if we could…?” is worth following.
- resourceful
- clarity
- cuts through noise
- inventive
- generous with ideas
- grounded
- sees what others miss
- trusted
- moves fast
- authentic
- connects the dots
- meticulous
If something here is useful to you, I’d like to hear about it.
Most of my time goes into my own projects, tools and publications. I take on outside work selectively, where there’s an interesting problem worth solving.
