Hey! I’m Abi Sea, The Launch Lifeline and I help business owners get ready to sell online with strong launch plans, aligned messaging and content that connects people. Life as a freelancer began in 2018 and I niched into the launching space in 2020. The people I work with are all good eggs, keen to make the world a better place for their own clients. By the time they find me, they’re drowning in all the stuff that goes with launching new offers and ideas online. That’s where I swoop in and save the day!

I love working with colourful people – creative thinkers with big hearts and dirty laughs. I guess that describes me, too – and the products I chose for Top Of The Shops are a selection of things that brighten up my workdays and put a bit of colour, love and humour back into the world.
