how can we work together?

show & tell

  • It’s Creative Consultation. The opportunity to pick my brains and ask my opinions on your new or upcoming project. It’s the opportunity to make some creative discoveries and decisions with my expertise and guidance supporting you. A Show & Tell session will be collaborative, inspiring and will leave you with an action plan that you just can’t wait to execute!

  • It’s perfect for small businesses. You may not have a creative on your staff or the ability to step back and see your project with fresh eyes. My consultation during creative brainstorms, idea development, new product launches or seasonal campaigns will give you the boost and direction you need to help your brand stand out.

  • My unique combination of experience - working with businesses from kitchen table start-ups to global luxury brands, via my own successful e-commerce business - is the Essay Studio superpower.

    The understanding of what makes independent businesses tick, and what the challenges can be, combined with the ability to answer a creative brief for a huge spectrum of products and audiences.

    My experience in managing creative meetings means the session will be efficient, productive, inspiring and actionable.

  • · Creative Consultations can be booked as a 2 hour session, a half day or a full day via video call or even IRL

    · 18 years of design + marketing experience

    · A renewed vision for your idea with a full report an actionable plan

You may already have your branding established but have an important new launch, product or campaign coming up - we can work together to help you navigate how best to present this from a creative point of view.

You may feel that your brand is looking tired, dated or uninspired - I can help you discover your vision, your values and your voice when you feel like you can’t get your head above water to see the bigger picture.

You might just have a kernal of an idea and need some creative expertise to help develop it and grow it into your next success.

If your brand would would benefit from having an experienced creative voice in the room then we could work together in the form of Creative Consultancy.

 F A Q

  • Please enquire about my availability for Creative Consultancy as it depends totally on what design work I have on my schedule.

  • I have worked in multi-disciplinary design agencies with clients ranging from jewellery brands to banks. I have worked in-house for the London Film Festival and for Christie’s Auction House.

    At Christie’s I headed up Creative Marketing managing a team of 15 designers in London and New York. During this time I lead MANY creative brainstorms, collaborated with copywriters and photographers and developed the visual communications for an entirely new and innovative marketing strategy.

    I ran my own business - a successful e-commerce brand - for 8 years with a custom shopify site and instagram audience of over 25k.

    I set up Essay Studio in 2018, specialising in working with small businesses with a huge passion for helping independent brands develop purposeful strategy and outstanding visual communications.

  • First on our agenda will be a discovery call - here I can identify your needs and how I could potentially support you. You don’t need anything prepared at this point, although an idea of your budget and timeline are useful. I will give you your homework once you have decided to work with me.

  • Yes! I ask for a 50% deposit up front to secure your spot on my schedule. From there we can arrange how the remainder is paid, in weekly, monthly or staged payments. All fees must be paid in full before the delivery of the consultancy session.
