A student might spend £9,000+ a year in the UK on a creative degree before they even make something real. They sit in lectures. Submit theory-heavy assignments. And by the end, many still don’t have a portfolio that lands them work.
I believe teens learn best by doing. They don’t need a 4-year degree to discover if a creative career is right for them. They need small, real projects. Support that makes sense. Tools they can access from home. That’s why I built the Creative Futures Kit.
A fraction of the cost of a degree, art community classes or software skills online subscriptions.
I’m not anti-education, but pro-options. I’m here to give creative teens a starting point - one that doesn’t cost thousands or require a formal application.
I’ve seen 15-year-olds create better branding than some grads. I’ve seen shy teens light up when they present their first project. And it didn’t take a degree to get there. Just the right support.
I designed this kit to help teens explore creative careers in a simple and hands-on way. It includes:
3 core creative modules released over the next six weeks
Professional style projects
Free and accessible tools and workshops every week
A clear starting point for building a portfolio
1:1 support for children and parents
Module 1 & Module 1 workshop are available now to paid subscribers ⬇️
🎯 Module 1:"Think Like a Designer"
(Read Hierarchy Workshop, and work through the tasks in that first)
I’ve taught and supported hundreds, if not thousands, of creative students over the last 20 years - gaining skills that have allowed individuals to run their own very successful creative agency in London, become a product designer in Spain, fly around the world taking photographs for magazines and adverts, create concept art for big name gaming & film companies, and illustrating and drawing characters for numerous publications and brands.
The methods included in the Creative Futures kit all work - and I have the proof from hundreds of successful outcomes.
