Supporting the Creative Sector

During my 20+ years working as a photographer in the visual arts, it became clear that creatives need professional development to support their practice in an increasingly digital and marketing heavy environment. As a skilled communicator and educator, I have honed my offerings to meet the changing needs of creative industries including artists, designers, freelancers and small businesses. From a 45 minute online talk to a hands-on half day workshop for existing teams and organisations, I bring passion to develop the creative sector with capacity building and practical skills.

Fremantle Design Week 2024

October 2024 Festival Workshops

I’m thrilled to be hosting two connected workshops in October as part of Fremantle Design Week – my favourite week in Walyalup!

These two deep dive, full focus sessions are tailored for arts and culture practitioners, design professionals and freelancer/sole traders. The themes covered are similar to my retreat and teams work – and are the only ‘open to the public’ sessions of this kind that I will offer for 2024.

They’re designed to be attended as a pair (10% discount when you register for both), however they are complete standalone workshops if you can’t make it to both.

Workshops have a maximum of 20 participants. Registration is essential.

Workshop Themes

I can cover content as an illustrated lecture, talk, workshop on location or online.
