About
Creativity has been a constant in my life, though not always in a way I could fully name.
For decades I worked across commercial photography, styling, and art direction, fields where creative work happens under real pressure, where standards are shaped by external demand, and where it is easy to lose track of what you actually think.
That experience gave me a close understanding of how identity and practice can fall out of alignment. And a lasting question: what keeps creative work genuinely connected to the person making it?
That question is where this work began.
THE SHIFT
Over time, I became less interested in creativity as validation and more interested in creativity as orientation.
I could see how easily people lose contact with themselves when conditions change. Technology accelerates. Economic pressure increases. What once felt clear begins to feel unstable. The first response is usually self-doubt, and self-doubt has a way of making the work smaller.
Alongside my professional life, I maintained an artistic practice and continued studying: postgraduate work in fine art, embodiment-based inquiry, and sustained reflection on the relationship between identity and creative practice.
What emerged from all of that eventually became Creative Identity Work.
"It is a process of stabilisation, clarification, and creative coherence."
APPROACH
My approach is reflective, structured, and grounded in lived experience.
I am interested in how people think, what they value, how they make decisions, and what helps them stay connected to their work without becoming disoriented by pressure, shame, or external demand.
This is not a process of fixing people or pushing them towards performance.
It is a process of stabilisation, clarification, and creative coherence.
EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING
My work is shaped by decades across commercial, artistic, and independent creative fields, alongside postgraduate study in fine art, creative coaching training, and ongoing enquiry into identity, practice, and change.
