What Makes My Mentorship Different?

I understand the artist’s life, the highs, the lows, the self-doubt, and the ‘what the hell am I doing?’ moments.

... I've been lucky to have lived it all.

I help artists align their energy, build confidence in their work, and take real action toward their own personal success - without feeling like they have to sacrifice their creativity or wellbeing to get there.

If you’re neurodivergent, I get it. Having ADHD, I know firsthand how important it is to create systems that work for your brain, not against it.

My mentorship is built with this in mind. Balancing creative flow with practical strategies so you can thrive in your own way and on your terms. Though - I don’t just teach strategy; I teach resilience.

My Creative Journey: 20+yrs in 200 words

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re on the edge of something big - only to have it slip through your fingers... This is how it began. When I found out that I hadn't made it as a finalist for the London, Mall Gallery ICA Beck’s Futures Award, the news - it knocked me sideways.

For years after, I told myself I wasn’t good enough. The more I believed that, the less and less I created.

After a long 8 years, feeling blocked and unsure. I realised that I had two choices: to shrink or to rebuild. So, I got to work in order to rewrite my next creative life chapter. I'm proud to say that since then, I’ve:

  • Flown around the world painting murals, leading workshops, and speaking on creative growth.

  • Created artwork for brands Reebok, Google, Adobe, Vivienne Westwood, L'Oréal, & Wacom.

  • Presented inspiration sessions at Apple, The V&A, Saatchi, & National Portrait Gallery.

  • Exhibited my paintings globally, including the Saatchi Gallery & Somerset House.

  • Created immersive VR art for Mario Testino, Business of Fashion and Land Rover Evoque’s world premiere.

  • Have my drawing books published and stocked the Tate Gallery & National Portrait Gallery

  • Developed artist mentorships that have helped creatives secure commissions, raise rates, and step fully into their worth.

My methodology: Podcast interviews on Creative Resilience & Mental Wellbeing

Creative Boom - Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway

Fear can hold us back and make us feel stuck. But how will we ever progress if we don't face the things that scare us? Whether we're afraid of going freelance, starting a side project, applying for that job, or making a complete lifestyle shift, embracing what terrifies us could actually lead us to happiness.
