On my journey as an agency founder I worked with mentors and advisors. They got me places in 6 months that it would have 2-3 years to get to without them.

Now it's my turn.

I’m a designer/developer turned business owner who ran the agency Lighthouse for 15 years between 2008 and 2023.

My key achievements include:

• Sold and delivered 500+ projects
• Built and managed an expert team of 20 people
• Scaled from £10k projects to 6-figure design retainers
• Grew revenue year on year to £2m+ annually with 25%+ profit margins

Who is it for?

My sweet spot is people running a small purpose driven agency (1-20 people).

You probably are a designer, developer, writer or marketer who accidentally grew a business around themselves.

It can be a isolating experience being the boss, when in fact you are just figuring it out as you go.

I can help with:

• Strategic guidance from proven experience
• Overcome growth challenges faster
• Focus on high-impact opportunities
• Work ON your business, not just IN it
