Where I deliver real, measurable value

I act as a strategic partner for cultural organisations and creative businesses facing these exact challenges. My goal is to help you solve the critical problems that stand in the way of your growth and impact.

  • Managing growth: By creating a clear EDI strategy for your organisation to ensure your culture scales with integrity.

  • Delivering against your strategy: By tackling the burnout and cultural friction that holds your team back, we nurture an inclusive environment where everyone feels confident and empowered to do their best work.
  • Mitigating reputational risk: By proactively addressing inconsistencies between your stated values and daily practices before they become public problems.

  • Securing funding: By developing a robust, data-backed EDI action plan for your funding applications.

To achieve this, we move beyond one-off workshops and focus on long-term programmes that deliver lasting change.
