This is me
Patrice is a community developer and communications strategist.
In 2015, she founded Pink Ship Ltd, growing it into an international creative studio with clients and collaborators in Toronto, Los Angeles, and across the UK. Over the past decade, she’s supported more than 120 brands, from start-ups to global names, with work featured by HuffPost, MTV, and others.
Today, Patrice leads The CSS World, a learning and practice space for organisers, movement builders, and mission-led teams who want to grow communities that last. Her work centres on teaching the skills of community development, communication design, and real-world connection through workshops, guides, and shared learning.

Entrepreneurs & mission-led organisations
Patrice speaks about building direct lines to your people, email lists, WhatsApp/Telegram groups and SMS, so your community isn’t at the mercy of algorithms. Drawing on years of delivery and community work, she covers migration from social to owned channels, community development (online + IRL), accessible/plain-English messaging, safeguarding & moderation, and the metrics that matter (reachability %, response time, real engagement).

Schools & colleges
Patrice delivers practical sessions on digital wellbeing and personal branding: how algorithms shape attention, setting boundaries, consent and privacy basics, and using social as a tool, not a home base, for career exploration. Students leave with simple steps to build a portfolio, an email list, and healthy online habits.
