Looking for a bit of
creative guidance?
In need of some career advice
to take your practice to the next level?
Don’t know where to start
with building your portfolio
or navigating the creative industry?
I’m now available to book
for creative mentoring sessions!
(limited spots available)
Anyone creative knows that it can often feel like an uphill battle trying to get your foot in the proverbial door. Trying to build a career from scratch in an industry that seems focused more on who you know (and who your parents are) rather than what you know can feel overwhelming at points…but in my experience, it’s what I’ve learned from making all the mistakes a creative could make, as well as guidance I’ve had from those more experienced than me that’s ended up being the most valuable in helping me make progress in my career.
I’ve learned so much over the decade (!!!!!) I’ve been in the creative industry, and I want to put it to good use and help other creatives, no matter their experience level, or where they are in their career. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power and sharing really is caring…which is why I’m opening up a limited number of mentoring spaces to offer creative guidance or help you get a project off the ground - from someone who has been there, done that, got the t-shirt and made all of the mistakes, so you don’t have to!
How It Works:
Getting started is super simple! Either book a free consultation call, or fill out the enquiry form at the bottom of this page with a few details about yourself, your availability, and a rough idea of what you’re hoping to get out of creative mentoring.
From there, choose the session type that feels right for you. I currently offer specialist Portfolio Review sessions, or one-hour mentoring sessions tailored to where you’re currently at with your creative journey, but I’m more than happy to adapt session structure and length depending on your needs. Not sure what suits you best yet? No problem. Just share your goals as best you can in the form, and we can figure the rest out together.

“I have had one-to-one creative mentoring sessions in the past, but none have been as helpful and insightful as Bee’s, and I’ve only had one session so far!
I started the session feeling unclear about my next moves career wise, being fresh out of uni, but Bee helped me come up with a structured plan to keep myself on track to reach my goals. Something I really value was that Bee took extensive notes during our session (which they’ve sent to me as well) listing everything that I had mentioned during our session, and their own advice/resources to achieve what I had spoken about. I am really appreciative of this experience and would definitely recommend these sessions to anyone who is feeling a bit lost career wise, and is looking for ways to add structure and timelines into their life to achieve their artistic goals.”

“I had been freelancing as an Illustrator for around a year and was feeling a bit stuck; I needed some guidance on where to focus my energies in order to make the next step in my career.
I met with Bee and we discussed what I was hoping to achieve. Bee provided super bespoke, tailored support that has really helped me to work towards my goals.”
- katie
“I don't think I can thank you enough for these sessions. They have been so reassuring and also resourceful. Mentoring sessions with Bee have been beneficial, as they create a safe, non-judgmental environment for me to ask many silly questions and to go through all my doubts. Sharing knowledge around the legal and financial side of being a freelance artist, which is not talked about enough and Bee patiently explained everything. I feel more confident in my own work due to these sessions and in pursuing my own artistic practice.”
- Radhika
“I love that they took the time to ask me about my own communication preferences and learning styles, and provided support that matched with that; I found the comprehensive write-ups of our discussions and outcomes really helpful.
Being mentored by Bee has made me feel super inspired and energised, and I’m so excited to see the results of our work together paying off!!”
“I could tell that all of their invaluable knowledge came from experience, and they provided me with some really indispensable resources that I can utilise even after our mentoring is finished. Having somebody hold me accountable to meeting my goals and deadlines has been incredibly helpful.”
Thank you so much, Bee for this wonderful session! Thank you most specially for the quality of your listening, for caring about my situation and for appreciating the complex intersection of personal and professional! I know it can be a lot to take on someone else’s story so I really appreciate you for your availability and support!! 💫🌸🫶🏽

“After graduating, I've been stuck for a little while and feeling very much like an outsider to the creative industries. Bee has completely opened my eyes to a whole host of possibilities and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
Bee was so accommodating by offering remote sessions and it's been great to have a new pair of eyes across my work, I was overwhelmed by how much detail, care and attention Bee offered and it's given me so much motivation and excitement for what's to come!”
- Jenny
“Working with Bee is like chatting to a very wise friend - they gave me a wealth of insight and helped me get my head together on where to go next and I always look forward to our sessions.”
