A Steady Partner for Creative Leaders.
Turning Creative ambition into a clear path forward.
I help Creative Teams protect their Creative core and make the work they set out to make.
What I Do
Creative work comes with pressure. It moves quickly, people stretch themselves thin, and the space to think can disappear without anyone noticing.
I support Founders and Creative Teams during those moments.
My work brings steadiness, clarity, and practical structure around the Creative core, so people can focus on what actually matters.
I draw on real Studio experience, Psychological Training, Accredited Coaching, and hands-on Operational insight. Together, we make sense of what’s happening, ease the pressure, and steady the Team so the Creative work can continue to move forward.
Studio Partnerships: Long-term strategic and Operational support that strengthens business foundations and allows the Creative Team to focus on their work.
Founder Support: A private, honest space for Creative Leaders to think, explore decisions, and share the realities of running a Creative business.
Team Alignment: Helping teams reconnect, find their rhythm again, and move together in a way that supports Creative work.
Creative Project Support: Support for Creatives developing projects or ideas that need structure, clarity, or a practical plan to move it from concept into reality.
Why People Work With Me
I’ve spent 15 years working inside and alongside Creative Teams — leading Operations, supporting Production, negotiating Partnerships, running Studios, and helping projects move from idea to delivery.
I started my career in the wider Entertainment Industry before moving fully into Games, and that mix has shaped how I work today. I’ve held Senior roles inside Independent Studios, supported several others as their Operations or Studio Lead, and worked closely with Founders at different stages of their own careers.
Across that time I’ve helped build new Teams, stabilise Studios during difficult moments, secure funding, negotiate with publishers and partners, run restructures, support Leadership transitions, and create the systems that help Creative work move. I’ve been in the room during Milestone pressure, Team conflict, big Creative decisions, and the quiet moments where a Founder admits they’re not sure what to do next.
Alongside my Studio work, I’ve held Industry roles with BAFTA, served on the Board at Ukie and support The Norwich Games Festival as Festival Patron. I regularly speak at international conferences about Leadership, Creative work, and the realities of running Studios. I’m an Accredited Coach with Psychological Training - a unique trait that I believe helps me support the people behind the work as much as the work itself.
All of this means I understand the full picture: the Creative ambition, the human pressure, the operational load, and the day-to-day realities that shape what it actually feels like to run a Studio.
