Neurodivergent artist and illustration art mentor

See and feel REAL tangible RESULTS

Working with me, artists have been able to pivot in new directions, hone their creative and business skills and achieve transformative results.

Through my reflective mentoring style, they develop their unique creative practice step by step - refining their artistic voice and messaging, allowing them to present their work in a way that deeply connects with others.

As someone navigating ADHD and creative ENTREPRENEURSHIP for over two decades, I understand the challenges AND the INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL of neurodivergent creative brains.

"Jo’s Creative Mentoring has been so transformational already…

‘Where do I start?! Jo’s Creative Mentoring has been so transformational already… At a really pivotal point in my illustration career – when I decided to change direction, leave my agent and follow my true creative calling, mentoring was just what I needed.   I felt that Jo could really see my vision and where I wanted to go. 

I want a mentor to someone who I can turn to for pricing advice, business guidance and client negotiations, as well as how to move forward with projects that I’m particularly stuck on. 

My work has come on leaps and bounds in just 11 weeks and wonderful things have already started to happen in my career…"

"I have a lot OWED to Jo for this whole new body of work that I'm launching now at the moment...

Working with Jo has helped me to kind of push through a personal block

I’m now focused on my own vision and direction, full of creative energy to push my practice forward both personally and professionally.

Working with Jo in 1-2-1s sessions always energises me, no matter what stage I am in my creative workflow. I always feel comfortable to openly share what areas I'm struggling with and our chats always result in me feeling more balanced, with a clear plan of action. Jo's knowledge and insight is so valuable, I look forward to working with her again down the line."

"I have learnt powerful techniques for overcoming overwhelm.

I have increased my rate in my freelance design work.

I feel a lot more confident, capable & powerful in myself and as an artist

I have learnt powerful techniques for overcoming overwhelm, which was one of my biggest challenges. I can now plan, strategize, and set goals in a calm, methodical way.

It has allowed me to see my strengths, identify my blocks, and has really improved my overall confidence.

I got into 2 new Art Galleries.

I have really identified my blocks and where my mindset needs shifting in order to step into my potential and really up my game"

"The mentoring program provided me with a fresh perspective on my work and boosted my confidence.

When I began working with Jo, I already had a few years of experience.

Jo also assisted me in developing strategies to pursue the path I desired.

Overall, it was an excellent experience, and having someone to support me in this discovery made it amazing because it kept me accountable to focus on my own work."
