The Creative Business Hub mentoring program
Work with me to build & run your creative business using my 26 years’ experience. It’s life-time access to fit with your creative flow & needs.
Why choose me as your mentor?
Creativity is in my DNA. Business too. I grew up watching my own parents and grandparents run successful businesses from home.
Business & creativity go perfectly together; I held my first art exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland back in 1999. And I’ve been equally hooked on making money from my art and design ever since!
Everything I teach comes from real-life, lived experience. Not theory. I’ve made money from my creativity and I’ve also learnt some hard lessons along the way.
I want to help you reach your creative dreams & goals.
If you’re looking for personal connection and community, come to The Creative Business Summit
It’s a one day conference for artists, designers, photographers, writers, makers & creators. A business conference for creatives BY creatives. Come along – belong!
I want to share some of my favourite pieces with you; artwork and designs that span 26 years in business wearing many different hats:
- From drawing nudes, to sketching the architecture of great cities.
- From designing custom fabrics, to upholstering signature chairs.
- From opening a little shop, to launching an online design tech start-up.
- From designing custom video backdrops to full brand identities.

Members’ words about The Creative Business Hub

Fine artist
Flexible & Self-Paced.
I like that it’s self-paced learning online – I have three children & do not have a consistent schedule. I can pick and choose based on where I am at in my personal art & business journey.

Perfect for getting started or refining your business.
The members in the community are incredibly encouraging and genuine – reflects Emma’s leadership!!
There is a massive amount of insight available for anyone who wants to learn quickly. Plus with live calls and conversations – it really ticks off all the boxes.
Great for someone starting out and working on the building blocks of their business.

Are you a prolific ideas machine, always coming up with amazing things and new ways to express your creativity?

Planning: your perfect way
Last week was Hallowe'en. My internal body clock and calendar does not have Hallowe'en as a setting. It's simply not a thing for me. For me, having grown up in the English countryside in the 70s, 80s and 90s, I count Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night) on November 5th as the start of the end of the...
The Mistake We Make with Creativity & Money
We make a dreadful mistake with our creativity & money. And it starts with our kids. We teach them to give. money away…which simply feeds into the starving artist mentality as adults.
