Creative Pathways Strategy & Consultancy
Building safer, clearer and more accessible routes into the creative industry.

Why Lived Experience Matters
The creative sector cannot be understood through policy papers alone. The realities faced by women, LGBTQIA+ creatives and neurodivergent talent often remain unseen.
My work supports these creatives directly and bridges the gap between creative communities and the institutions that serve them.
My Approach
As both a strategist and an artist, I understand the technical, emotional and practical needs of independent creatives. My work is grounded in safety, clarity and genuine support.
