I empower creative leaders and established nonprofit professionals to unlock growth, fulfil their potential, and realise their business dreams—positioning them as the spotlight in their respective fields. With a diverse background spanning visual arts, corporate training, creative industries, arts funding and major capital projects, I bring a wealth of experience to the table.

Too often, we witness the disconnect between creativity and financial success, with many imaginative individuals struggling to thrive economically. My role is to bridge this gap seamlessly, ensuring that your creative vision aligns with robust business strategies that pave the way for exponential growth. I firmly believe that creativity and enterprise go hand in hand. Business is not antithetical to art; rather, it is a catalyst for its success. Drawing from 20 years of experience as a creator, director, and business leader, I offer invaluable insights and strategies to help you navigate the intersection of creativity and commerce. Whether through face-to-face workshops, online consultations, board representation, coaching, arts conferences, bespoke seminars, or public speaking engagements, I am committed to empowering you to harness the full potential of your creative endeavours and achieve sustainable success.
