A little bit about me

Well hello there you successful thing !

I’m Raquel, the brains and brawn behind The Mighty Fox.

Go-getters like us can get quite busy with world domination n’ all, so let’s save some time and head for the highlights:

I was in ‘corporate’ for way over a decade before accepting I was a dab-hand creative. My old stomping ground was Board and Executive Level support as well as mid-level management in a number of industries including Executive Recruitment, Pro-audio Distribution and IT/Telecoms.
I always wanted to be my own boss so left corporate when I had the chance and now occasionally check LinkedIn if I need to remember what I did before I founded The Mighty Fox. I’m not going back and you can’t make me!
I’m mostly self-taught and very proud of it. It’s imbued me with a world of knowledge, brought out my creative problem-solving skills, encouraged my self-motivation and taught me a lot about myself.
My tried and trusted ‘client onboarding process’ is listening. I take time to listen to my clients first and foremost, get to know their business inside-out and understand their business objectives. Everything else works backwards from there.
I’m magic. I know you don’t want to end up with yet another long list of stuff to do, because neither do I. So;
I’m a big believer in flow and simplicity. My process involves making things as simple and easy as possible for you.
I understand how much your business means to you because I’ve been (and am) right there with you. I want to see you succeed and I’ll be your cheerleader all the way. Woohoo, go you!! 🎉

Foxes are resourceful, resilient, instinctive problem-solvers and über cool, let’s face it!
As a child, my grandmother used to call me ‘small but Mighty‘ (She was onto something!)
After a (very intensive and very late) brainstorming session around the kitchen table with my family (that may or may not have involved a takeaway and a ‘passionate’ debate/altercation around the use of peri-peri salt), it just felt right! (I will let the record show they were responsible for the ‘The‘…)

I was born in Lisbon with Angolan ancestry, have lived in London since I was 8 yrs old and after taking one of those Ancestry DNA mapping tests, have discovered I really am a citizen of the world…or at least most parts of Europe and a small bit of Africa!
I’m an INFJ personality type to a T, preferring one to one meaningful exchanges over banal conversations or holding court, and the introvert type most likely to be mistaken for an extrovert (#awkward).
I’m a mentor with re:create, a platform aimed at helping emerging creatives match up to mentors to help them rise! (If you’re a newbie web or brand creative looking for guidance whilst you find your feet find me there)
I used to be a keen (but rather mediocre) social poker player (a while ago). I made it to three regional tournaments, one national and have three league trophies I’m quite, and will always be, proud of.
I’ve belted out Toto’s Africa more times than any grown woman should admit to. Usually on my own. Usually in my PJs. Always from the heart #ClassicRock 🤘🏽(Oh when that drum drops! 🥁)
I whole-heartedly believe it’s not only possible to be a pragmatic idealist, but it’s also a damn good idea!
I LOVE making lists 😉
