Writer. Editor. Founder of Creative Boom. 17 years of supporting creatives.
I launched Creative Boom in 2009 to give creatives the platform they deserved. Today it reaches over a million people each month. The podcast has passed a million downloads. And the community around it – artists, designers, illustrators, photographers, makers – keeps growing.
I started out as a broadcast journalist before running my own PR agency in Manchester for over a decade, helping brands tell better stories and connect with their audiences.
Alongside that, I built Creative Boom as a side project. Then, I took the leap and made it my full-time focus. Today, I publish, interview, vlog and travel to meet the people shaping the creative industry, sharing their stories with a global audience.
There’s no gatekeeping or industry nonsense; just real support, honest stories, and a space where creatives feel seen.
