Working with brands since its launch in 2014, the consultancy sessions were initially formed as part of the design process, a dedicated place to establish the actual desires, wants, and needs of the business in question and the practitioner behind it.
In 2019, they took on a life of their own when it became too obvious to miss the fundamental benefits – an expanse of energy, confidence in shedding outdated or unwanted offerings, increased compassion and self-worth, more directional focus, and an overall sense of clarity and enjoyment. There was space to breathe. To think. To feel. Clients were finding themselves at the true core of their creation. They were able to easily and effectively communicate this with others, resulting in both their desired intentional success and extensive fulfilment.

E V O L V E M E N T:
To unravel, unfold, develop, open out, expand.
From the Latin E V O L V E R E, ‘to unroll’, a gradual, sustainable unfurling of our creation.

The studio offers a unique perspective to many other business or creative consultants. It is my deep belief that a person-centred approach is vital for any evolvement, especially the right evolvement as decided by the client. Both the practical (visual brand and guidance, launches, revenue streams, costings, planning, time, decisions, communications, etc) and the psychological (such as dysfunctional assumptions, instability, uncertainty, blocks, fears, overwhelm, and self-worth) are considered. Sometimes, it’s not about moving forward but returning to centre. All combined, the process is profoundly shifting, supportive, and created solely for the individual, with the outcome delivering potent personal and career evolution.
