About me
Founder & Creative Quest leader at Channel Twelve. Join our next Creative Quest: https://channeltwelve.co.uk/quests/ I search for extraordinary creative ideas in ordinary places and bring them to life in adventurous and collaborative ways. Whilst I always aim to push the boundaries of my knowledge and explore different mediums to express creative concepts; a fascination with the human experience and the things that connect/inspire us is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that diversity, open hearted chats and collaboration are at the heart of developing great ideas.

    ⚡️ An immersive creative programme and community powered studio. For people fuelled by curiosity. We help people boldly step into their creative potential through experiential learning journeys, events & artistic content. 💥 Our main focus is Creative Quests - a monthly club for the creative and the curious Each Quest challenges you to embrace a different creative theme for one month, giving you a framework to fill your life with illuminating new perspectives on the world around you. In 2022 we'll be delivering our Creative Quests programme as a full year-long experience. https://channeltwelve.co.uk/quests/ 🌀 After many years of creative experiments, in November 2020 I re-launched Channel Twelve as business. Operating on part time basis alongside my music work. In November 2021 I went full time with Channel Twelve. ----------------------------- THE ROUTE TO CREATING CHANNEL TWELVE HAS BEEN AN ADVENTURE IN ITSELF. It started in 2016 when I set myself a challenge – in an effort to reconnect with my creative self and make better use of my spare time. “Immerse myself in a different form of creativity each month – for a whole year”. By making how others make. Doing as others do. Living how others live. Over the course of that year, I began to notice something profound. Not only was I living a more eclectic lifestyle - but inspiration for innovative, creative ideas were coming in more volume and more variety than ever before. The way I saw the world was changing. The project quickly became a mindset. At Channel Twelve, we believe creativity is an innate power we all share. Though manifesting differently in each of us, creativity is fluid – it fills the spaces we open up for it. By actively channelling our creative focus in new ways, we open ourselves up to endless possibility: deeper connections with more people, navigating our surroundings with more purpose, living more mindfully, perceiving the world around us with a constantly renewed perspective. Through our evolving series of Quests & Projects we want to enable people to widen the lens of their creativity and enjoy playful lifestyles that are illuminated by curiosity. Let’s navigate a path less travelled.
