My story
I guide purpose-driven individuals to transition into meaningful work with confidence and resilience, ensuring they stay true to themselves in the process. Through one-to-one coaching, workshops, and resources, I’ve supported hundreds through career change, business sustainability, life transitions, and more. My approach prioritises both mindset and action, blending creative thinking with coaching practices—both online and in person.

600+ hours Coaching
Trained as a coach
After following my creativity, I thought I needed a ‘proper’ 9-5 job and went into office work. I quickly realised it didn’t light me up and I was missing connecting with people, helping with their projects and learning.
I wanted to positively support people in following those ideas that feel ‘too big’. Now a transformational coach, this combines my creativity, intuitive empathy, lifelong passion for well-being and curiosity about productivity and how we practically work through self-doubt to move forward.
Opened a craft shop
When my grandad passed away, this was a new chapter. So I opened a craft shop. I attended many fairs, events and opened a shop in London, SE1. It was a fantastic experience. I learned so much about business and industry.
But it was tough on my own and due to a difficult location, less footfall and burnout, I closed it. After following my creativity, I thought I needed to get a ‘proper’ 9-5 job and went into office work. I quickly realised this didn’t light me up and I was missing talking to people, helping them with projects and learning.
Facilitation
I began to run craft workshops, courses and initiatives at local community centres. I often combined these with well-being as it has been a lifelong interest. I’ve run workshops at cafes, craft fairs, community centres, bespoke birthdays and for universities such as UCL and London Southbank University.
I love sharing these skills and seeing how people shape them with their own expertise, experience and flair.
Books, art shops, a carer
I worked in shops like Paperchase & Cass Art and trained as a book artist. I loved it, so I began teaching workshops and courses. Seeing people bring their ideas to life made me so happy.
I exhibited, and this book, based on ‘New Kraas Massakhah’ by LKJ, is part of the Tate Britain Book Arts Collection.
I spent a few years as a carer for my grandad, and my creativity was paused as I focused on his health.
Colour, imagination, mental health
I’ve always loved colour, creativity, and getting lost in my imagination. Colours really do make me feel good!
With a tough start navigating depression from childhood, an alcoholic parent and a very abusive relationship in my teens, I still found the drive to explore my creativity.
I went on to study Design, and I’ve always made things, from cards to upcycling furniture, jewellery, shoes—anything I can get my hands on!
