Testimonials

Bo is incredibly knowledgeable with a no-jargon style. She’s so approachable and generous to offer her experience in such a distilled way. Her workshop was fast-moving but the key concepts were explained really well. Highly recommend!

Bo’s feedback was extremely valuable. She understood my point of difference immediately and gave targets and advice for exactly where I was stuck. Bo is a great, natural facilitator.

Bo was amazingly informative in such a short space of time – she covered everything I needed!

Bo is knowledgeable, a clear communicator, an experienced photographer, and an excellent teacher.

Bo focused on clear principles of capturing artwork and telling my story – it’s also been great for my studio practice to consider my creative process more deeply.

Bo was down to earth, incredibly skilful and current.

Clear, concise, articulate – Bo shows, as well as shares, her wealth of knowledge.

Bo explained everything in simple language with the basic steps explained clearly. She helped me realise that I don’t have to do things the way others are doing it – I’ve got my own way and I feel confident about my plan now.

Bo was approachable and friendly – she welcomed my unique business challenges into the workshop which was invaluable for me.

Bo offered new insights and brought me back to my core values – which I had lost sight of over the last few years of working in remote communities. Now I can support my own creative practice too, which in turn, means I support other artists more wholeheartedly.

Bo’s workshop broke down the seemingly complex challenges of Instagram content creation into simple, digestible processes. I can see the bigger picture of who I am trying to connect with and why – instead of just wondering what to post every week.

I was flapping in the wind with my social media and needed some guidance and structure – now I feel set with an endless supply of ideas to share!

Bo is knowledgeable, a legend, very down to earth and has artists/creatives pegged. She understands our industry inside out.

Bo is amazing, she has an incredible understanding of running creative businesses, explaining and encouraging us in a positive way. I’ve left inspired!

Bo was fantastic because she really listens, tries to understand, is very approachable and is super inclusive.
