Creative loneliness is real. But it doesn’t have to be.

With remote work, freelancing, or being the lone designer on an in-house team, many creatives are running on empty. The constant isolation, the lack of real feedback, the echo chamber of your own ideas; it chips away at your energy.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Whether you’re freelancing, in-house, or somewhere in between, joining the Think Tank will help you find your edge through real talk, creative challenges, and a small group of people who actually get it.

Why it matters

Working remotely has its perks, but let’s be honest: isolation kills momentum. Without peers to bounce ideas off, challenge you, or celebrate your wins, it’s easy to drift.

Joining the Think Tank gives you back your creative circle—a place where feedback is honest, ideas grow fast, and confidence comes back stronger.

Weekly Meetings

60-minute sessions focused on real-world challenges and breakthroughs.

A Tight-Knit Community

Small groups (max 10) of like-minded creatives who bring honesty, humour, and heart.

Personalized Guidance

Feedback that sharpens your thinking and storytelling.

Personal Spotlight Session

A dedicated 30 minutes to bring a challenge, ask a question, or get real feedback from the group and me.

Slack Support Between Sessions

Keep the conversation going all week long.

Guest Creative Insights

Learn from industry pros who’ve been in your shoes.
