About Workshops

I give a sh*t about what I do, but more importantly, I care about helping you.

It’s true! Whether you are an author, writer, designer, director, business owner or mentor — it’s safe to say I’ve been around the block a few times. But more importantly I care about the ones feeling like the odd one out, I’ve been there and I can relate to the feeling too. I want you to become your best creative self.

I really enjoyed my chat with Rob. He was able to understand me, my needs, and my personality and how to find the right solutions for me. His advice was always positive and motivational, and he gave examples that made ideas simple to understand. I'm looking forward to booking another session!
