I ask the difficult questions
Help you navigate complexity
A collaborative consultancy designed to clarify complexity, unlock opportunity and accelerate progress.
Through inclusive workshops, thoughtful facilitation, and strategic guidance — I help organisations work through challenges and uncover ideas that make impact.
Align your thinking
The Creative Method is a mix across three areas, designed to help businesses use creativity as a tool for progress:
01
Creative Thinking
Services.
Creative Direction
Feedback, challenge and guide your visual design & brand
Creativity needs a compass. I guide your creative output to ensure consistency,
I’ll assess how well your brand, website, and comms align with your strategy and engage your audience.
And I’ll build the right team or choose the right agency to bring your vision to life
Creative Collaboration
Teamwork & culture
Creativity flourishes best in environments that encourage collaboration, openness, and exploration.
We work with leadership and teams to foster creative cultures that support better communication, stronger collaboration, and more confident problem solving.
From creative workshops to embedded advisory support, we help build teams that think together, challenge assumptions, and create beyond the obvious.
Re-frame, solve problems, generate ideas & innovate
Whether you're tackling a strategic decision, reimagining a service, or exploring new directions, we bring creative methods to open up possibilities and move towards practical solutions.
