Creative Business Mastery
Goodbye imposter syndrome, hello thriving business.
Crafting confidence in you and your work
Have you ever felt stuck with your creative business? Do you suffer from imposter syndrome and feel you're not good enough? Are you overwhelmed by marketing and scared you might fail? Are you pricing too low? Are you wondering how everyone else seems to do it?
If this has resonated with you, I can definitely help you because I get it, I've been there too. As a self-employed creative for the past 9 years, I know firsthand the ups and downs of running a creative business and the toll it can take on our mental health. That's why I created this membership for people like you, combining self development tools with marketing tips.

Master your mind monkeys & grow your business
You put your heart and soul into your creation, pouring countless hours into every detail. But then, when it comes to selling it, those pesky mind monkeys start chiming in: "Who are you to sell this?" "You can't charge that much!" "Others are better, this isn't that good!" "There's already so much competition, why bother?"
Believe me, I've heard those mind monkeys too. Selling creative products means you're not just selling a tangible item; you're selling a piece of yourself and if it doesn't sell, it can be heartbreaking. I'm here to support you and work on getting more sales. Are you ready to build unshakable confidence in yourself and your work and take your marketing to the next level? Let's do this!

Hi, I’m Vanessa, a freelance graphic designer and online seller with 16 years experience, (7 years agency work and 9 years freelancing). I’ve worked with small local companies to names as big as Barclaycard and Domino’s, from branding to full marketing campaigns.
I’ve also gained valuable experience through running my own online stores on Etsy and Thortful, where I’ve sold over 95,000 greeting cards of my own designs.
I believe in the importance of mental wellbeing when running a creative business, selling yourself and your work can be hard. I've spent 10 years reading every self development book known to man and want to share those learnings and my marketing experience with you. I'm passionate about helping people grow their business and nurture their mental health.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, I’m here to support you and help your creative business flourish.
