Practical strategies, real-world insights, and actionable projects to help you build a thriving creative career.
Freelancing is hard. There’s no roadmap, no clear next step, and no one telling you exactly what works.
I know because I’ve been there.
Early in my career, I struggled to find clients, set the right prices, and build a portfolio that actually landed work. I wasted time on things that didn’t move the needle and second-guessed every decision. I don’t want that for you.
That’s why I created The Creative Growth Lab—a no-fluff, action-driven membership designed to give you the strategies, structure, and real-world insights I wish I had when I was starting out.

Why Join The Creative Growth Lab?
Because I’ve been where you are.
I started as a struggling freelancer, unsure how to price my work, find clients, or create consistency in my business.
Fast forward to today—I’ve worked with brands like Google, Pfizer, Greenpeace, and Transport for London and built a creative career that supports me.
This isn’t about luck. It’s about strategy.
The difference between creatives who struggle and those who thrive isn’t talent—it’s knowing how to position yourself, price your work, and market effectively. That’s exactly what you’ll learn inside The Creative Growth Lab.
