Michelle Forte. Founder, Creative, Enthusiast & Master Connector

Since the beginning of the world wide web, our founder – Michelle Forte, knew there was something about it – something amazing.  How can one piece of information exist in one part of the world, and be discoverable on the other side of the world just seconds later.

I remember my very first experience with the internet – whilst at a friends house one day after school.  I remember my friend telling me how complicated and confusing the internet was, and that she really didn’t even know what to do with it.

It was almost a challenge for me, from that moment on – to ‘conquer’ this ‘internet’ thing, as I have done with many other facets of the digital world.

A Few Years Ago...
In the Beginning
Michelle...

Growing up, Michelle knew she had a knack with the digital world. Throughout her working life - always being the 'go-to' girl to get things fixed.

2010
A Developing Concept
Eye Dropper Designs was Born

In 2010, Michelle could hold back no longer, it was time to make all those years of education, experience and hard-work pay off.

Eye Dropper Designs became a registered business name and started trading successfully within the first 3 months.

2012
Coming to life
Introduction of the Visuals

It quickly became obvious that designing websites on its own was insufficient to many business' needs. Professional photographers, videographers and graphic designers all jumped on board to bring a new sense of vibrancy to the business.

2015
Through the eyes of a lens
Photography & Video Takes Off

As our photography and video specialties started to gain some traction, Professional Photos & Video was proud to have been recognised as a finalist in the ABIA Wedding Photography category, whilst simultaneously receiving 5 star recognition from Easy Weddings for the same outstanding work.

2016
Spreading the Word
Building an online presence

Over time, as the internet evolved, so too did Eye Dropper Designs. With more and more clients seeking professional assistance to boost their sites online presence, it was decided to officially add another leg to the business. In came the marketing and search-engine-optimisation experts.

2017
World-wide exposure
New capabilities = new growth

With the introduction of some large clients in 2017, came world-wide exposure of some of our websites. As a result of our growing capabilities - larger international companies decided they wanted a piece of the action too! Eye Dropper Designs now services regular world-wide clients.

2019
The awards begin
Most Valued Player

In January 2020, the results were in... The votes were counted for the business member who'd had the most overall positive impact on others.

Michelle was completely unexpecting of the award. It would be the first of many in the coming years!

2020
The side effects are showing
A Double Header

2020 - the year of the bush-fires, toilet paper shortage and a wake of devastation around the world. While businesses suffered from the side-effects of Covid-19, many business owners knew that pushing through would be tough, but rewarding in the long-run.

Michelle Forte blissfully unaware of the impacts she'd had on her fellow business networks throughout this tough year. At the annual Business Network Awards, Michelle was this time not only awarded the Most Valued Player for the Business Builder Awards for the second year running, but also the Directors Commendation Award.
