making it…
I’ve spent over 40 years making things. Or trying to. I’ve founded and run production companies, written and directed feature documentaries, and shaped global TV content and brand stories for the likes of BBC, Amazon Prime, CNN, British Airways, Budweiser, Castrol, Channel 4, NatWest, BP, Nationwide, Philips, Caterpillar, NatWest, Sony Pictures etc. etc. Along the way I’ve collected armfuls of international awards - whatever that means?
But life as a creative professional isn’t all cheeky one-liners and applause. It’s often a wrestle between expression and expectation, emotion and practicality, engagement and detail. These are challenges that many are blind to even considering, given their locked and polarised habits.
But, I’ve always believed in and advocated a creative symbiosis - where bold ideas and real world demands not only coexist, but actually thrive together.
After decades of wins, frustrations, and the odd existential epiphany, I’ve come to recognise the blocks that hold people back, and how to move past them. So,
…about you
Maybe your creativity has been buried by work, education, or just life? Or maybe it’s just laying dormant, waiting for permission?
Whether you need a spark, a nudge, or a total reboot, I’m here to help you unshackle it for business or for life. Let it flow.
Over the years, I’ve witnessed many people quietly held back by ‘creative phobia’ - a fear of embracing new ideas, or expressing their own imaginative instincts.
It’s more common than you might think, particularly in environments where ‘behaviours’ are prescribed as rules and can often lead to a frustrating sense of limitation - personally, professionally, or often both.
Based simply on a mix of creative experience and a grounded, optimistic philosophy, our discussions will centre on guiding you to believe in your creative side, exploring its potential and how it reveals new ideas, inspires confidence, and helps balance work and life.
The changes might be subtle, or profound. Either way, they matter - because it’s about unlocking a positive part of yourself that may have been waiting for its chance.
