for creative entrepreneurs who want honest support, real conversation, and people who get it
running a creative business can be brilliant, but it can also be weirdly lonely.
You can have a full week of client work, content, ideas, admin, invoices, overthinking, second guessing and trying to keep your own confidence from slipping through the floorboards, all while looking perfectly fine from the outside. A lot of the time, the questions you most want help with are the exact ones you don’t really fancy posting in a huge public Facebook group.
That’s where The Creative Room comes in.
The Creative Room is a private paid WhatsApp community for creative entrepreneurs who want a more honest, supportive place to talk about the real side of running a creative business. Somewhere to ask questions, share wins, talk through difficult moments, get perspective, and feel like there are other people in the room who genuinely understand what this work can feel like.
What the creative room is…
It’s for creative entrepreneurs who want somewhere easy, supportive and genuinely useful to turn when they need a bit of help, perspective or encouragement.
It’s for the questions that have been rattling round your head all morning.
It’s for the client situation that’s annoyed you more than you’d like to admit.
It’s for the week you’ve had a great result and want to tell people who’ll actually get why it matters.
It’s for the moments you’re doubting yourself, stuck on something, fed up, unsure what to do next, or just wanting to hear from other creative people who understand the work, the pressure and the emotional ups and downs of doing this for yourself.
What’s inside the room?
Inside The Creative Room, you’ll be part of a private WhatsApp community where conversations can happen naturally and quickly.
That might look like:
asking for thoughts when a client situation has thrown you
sharing a win with people who understand why it matters
getting advice on pricing, proposals or awkward boundaries
chatting about content, visibility and the pressure of always having to market yourself
having a rant when something’s been driving you round the bend
hearing from other creative people who’ve dealt with similar situations
getting perspective when you’re stuck in your own head
I’ll be there hosting the space, starting conversations and helping shape the tone of it, but the whole point is not for everything to come back to me. I want this to feel like a room full of generous, supportive people who help each other out, chip in with their own experience and make the space useful for everyone in it.
Who is this for?

Who is this for? *
The Creative Room is for creative entrepreneurs who want a supportive, private place to talk about business and creative work with people who get it.
You might be a designer, illustrator, photographer, copywriter, content creator, social media freelancer, creative service provider, or someone building a creative business in your own way.
You might be well established.
You might still feel like you’re figuring loads of it out.
You might be confident in your work but rubbish at talking about yourself.
You might be great with clients until one difficult person knocks you sideways for a week.
You might look like you’ve got it together online and still have days where you’re doubting half your decisions.
You don’t need to have everything sorted. You just need to want honest conversation, useful support and a community that feels like a genuinely good place to be.
What The Creative Room isn’t
This bit matters, because I want people to join for the right reasons.
The Creative Room is not:
a course
a coaching programme
a content membership
a library of downloads, templates or worksheets
a membership stuffed with endless trainings, webinars and guest experts.
a space where everyone joins expecting direct 24/7 access to me
a noisy self-promo group where people drop links and disappear
There are already loads of memberships out there built around training and content. That’s completely fine, but there’s already plenty of that.
What I wanted to create was something much more immediate and human.
A space where you can ask a question when you’re feeling stuck and get help there and then. A space where the value comes from the people in it, the trust in the room, the conversation, the perspective, and the feeling that there are other people alongside you who understand the reality of building a creative business.
the kind of things people might ask in the room
I want to raise my prices, but I feel weirdly guilty about it
How do you deal with the days where you’re doubting everything?
Is this client giving red flags, or am I overthinking it?
I’m finding it hard to stay visible online, is anyone else struggling with that?
Has anyone else ever felt completely drained by a client who looks fine on paper?
I’ve underquoted for a project, how do I handle it now?
I got the opportunity I wanted and now I’m panicking that I’m not good enough for it
How do you know if it’s time to change something, or if you’re just having a rough patch?
These are the kinds of things people often want support with, but don’t always want to throw into a massive public forum.
Why join the creative room
Because creative work comes with a lot more than just the work itself.
There’s the client side, the money side, the visibility side, the confidence side, the emotional side, the trying to keep going when your energy is low side, and the part where you’re expected to somehow know how to do all of it well.
Sometimes you need advice.
Sometimes you need perspective.
Sometimes you need encouragement.
Sometimes you just want to know you’re not the only one finding something hard.
The Creative Room gives you access to a private community of people who understand that world and can meet you in it.
What makes this different?
There are loads of online communities now, but a lot of them start to feel the same.
Some are packed with so much stuff that they become overwhelming. Some are really just content libraries with a comment section attached. Some feel too public. Some feel too salesy. Some feel like everybody is trying to impress each other.
The Creative Room takes a simpler approach.
It’s a private, affordable, easy-to-access space where creative entrepreneurs can have honest conversations and support each other properly.
It lives inside WhatsApp for a reason. You don’t need to remember to log into another platform. You don’t need to go searching for a discussion board. You can pick up your phone, ask your question, and be part of the conversation in a way that fits around real life.
It’s also intentionally affordable, because I want it to feel accessible while still keeping the space private and valued.
A note from me
The idea for The Creative Room has come from years of conversations with other creatives.
At networking events, after workshops, at Adobe summits, over dinner, over drinks, in the chats that happen in between the official bits, that’s usually when people start opening up properly. That’s when you hear how they’re really feeling. The doubts they’ve got about their work. The wobble in their confidence. The worry about where the next client is coming from. The stress of looking busy online while their bank account is looking grim. The client phone call that left them in tears. The moments where they’re questioning everything and trying to hold it together at the same time.
These conversations just usually happen in ones and twos, in private messages, in corners of rooms, whenever someone finally feels comfortable enough to be honest.
And I know there’s already an overload of memberships out there packed with trainings, webinars, guest experts and more content than anyone has the headspace to get through. That’s fine if that’s what people want, but it’s not what I wanted to create here.
What I wanted was somewhere you can ask a question the minute you feel stuck and have a group of people jump in to help. Somewhere that feels more like having a bunch of creative pals in your pocket who understand the work, the pressure and the emotional rollercoaster of building something for yourself.
That’s what I want The Creative Room to be.
Cost and founding member pricing
I’ve kept The Creative Room intentionally affordable, because I want it to feel easy to join while still keeping the space private, valued and well looked after.
To launch the community, there are founding member lifetime access spots available at a one-off price.
First 25 members join for £21 one-off
Members 26 to 50 join for £31 one-off
Members 51 to 100 join for £41 one-off
After the first 100 members, The Creative Room will move to a regular membership price of:
£9 per month
or£99 per year
The founding member offer is there for the people coming in early and helping shape the room from the start. They’ll be the first voices in the community, helping set the tone and make it the kind of space people genuinely want to be part of.
If this sounds like the kind of space you’ve been looking for, I’d love to welcome you inside.
