CREATIVE BUSINESS MENTOR

I offer coaching and mentoring for emerging brands, established designers and artists. As a designer and artist I have over 25 successful years of experience in the industry. During that time I have worked in-house, freelance and for the last 14 years as a consultant for many household names and prominent brands. My designs are commissioned and licensed world-wide and my work takes me to trade shows around the globe. With a BA and MA in Design, I’ve been mentoring students both through my early teaching at universities and through my professional practice.

Mentoring with Dinah - £150

1 hours

Would it help to have a fresh view on your work from an experienced design professional? Stuck and need to find a way forward?

This one-to-one session will give you a chance to step back and evaluate the direction of your work and where you are heading. I will give you honest and constructive feed back. The aim is that you will leave the session with actionable steps to creatively move your business forward, capitalise on potential and have a plan to reach your career goals.

We can look at range planning, pricing structure and marketing opportunities. I can also give you insight into how to sell and license your designs. With over 15 years experience in the freelance and licensing world I am happy to share my knowledge and help you find the best route forward to capitalise on your designs.

Before our meeting I will review your portfolio or range, your website, social media, marketing and branding. You will prepare your own list of goals for the session. You will need to send me your work and goals a minimum of 48 hours before our meeting. My review together with your goals will form the basis of our discussion.

Initial 20 minute chat to see if my skills suit your needs is free of charge. Do get in touch!

Meetings can be face to face in Bristol or on Zoom if you live further away or prefer. If on Zoom you will receive a recording of our session.

Dinah is very approachable with a great combination of knowledge and insight. As a busy creative it was great to take time to step back and consider my direction. Dinah really helped me to think about where I’m heading. It was extremely good to have her fresh take on my work and business. I would definitely recommend Dinah to other creatives looking to develop their brand.
