Make It With Me — build your words and design together
Got something important yet complex to communicate and a blank page, or a tangle you can't yet shape? This is a co-creation partnership: we build it together, from raw idea to finished piece, in the format that fits: an essay, a presentation deck, a webpage, a report, or a pitch. Across a focused set of working sessions over three to four weeks, we find the core message, structure the story, and shape how it reads and looks. My hours go to the highest-leverage moves — the architecture, the narrative, the design direction, the critique that lifts it — while you do the building between sessions. That way you get strategy-grade structure, story-telling and writing expertise, and visual design in one partner. It's the rare overlap most people have to hire three separate people for. You'll leave with a finished piece — narrative, words and design working as one — that you built and own, plus the structural instincts to make the next one yourself.
What's included
Here's how we'll work: • We start by scoping — a short intake or our intro call — so I understand what you're making, who it's for, the outcome you want, and your deadline. • Where there's an artifact, you share it ahead so I arrive prepared and we spend our time together on the work, not the setup. • Sessions are live and between sessions I perform reviews and you work on iterations and refinements. • Everything we discuss is treated as confidential, both ways.
- A finished, high-impact piece — narrative, words and design as one — built with you
- Clear messaging and structure that simplify the complexity for your audience
- Design instincts and elements that you take with you into future work

Make Your Ideas Impossible to Ignore | Oxford MBA | Ex-Consultant
Hi there! I help people find clarity and move deliberately: in their careers, their communication, and the bigger transitions of life. Along my journey I've qualified as a Chartered Accountant at a Big 4 firm, earned an MBA with distinction from the University of Oxford, grew a consultancy from 9 to over 24 people, trained as a Systems Thinking Practitioner, and built my own practice in a new country. I've also come through my own hard chapters — burnout, loss, and the slow work of rebuilding around what truly matters — and I bring both that lived perspective and a strategist's structure to our work together. Expect professional rigour, a wide-angle view, and a space that's honest, grounded and guided by wisdom.
