I’m here to help you thrive as a creative professional.

You are a musician, writer, artist, designer, photographer, entrepreneur. You work in the arts, or a creative industry such as TV, film, fashion, or publishing.

Perhaps you’re just starting on a new path. You’ve reached a certain level of success, but you want to get to the next level. Or you simply want to keep on top of the rapid pace of change in your industry.

Maybe you just want to do your next big project with less drama, fewer sleepless nights. You want more balance, more fun – more inspiration.

If any of this feels like you, then welcome! You’re in the right place.

My name is Sheryl, and I help creatives find the success they want, while making work they love. You can read more about my coaching services here, or browse through the posts in my blog, Creative Thinking.

Or get my free course, Freelance Foundations, giving you ten powerful steps to take now so that you can thrive – and your business can grow.

Hi, I’m Sheryl.

Over the past 30 years I’ve been editor of The Face and the Observer magazines, and written for newspapers and magazines across the globe.

I’m also now a coach, helping my fellow freelancers and creatives to thrive in an era of rapid change. This is a challenging time, to be sure. But it’s also an interesting one, full of exciting new opportunities.

I believe that we humans were meant to create, not just consume. And that those of us who work in creative fields should be paid properly. We don’t have to suffer for our art.

Now more than ever, we need new ideas, new stories, new ways of seeing. Our creativity can change the world!
