Creative Spark
Business coach and funding mentor for
creative professionals and innovators
What if you could build a sustainable business around your creative ideas without losing who you are?
What if there was a way to get clear about your creative goals, work out a plan and build a sustainable business around your creative work… that was also easy, supportive and fun?
As creative professionals and innovators with loads of ideas and life things happening, it’s easy for our creative work to get pushed to the bottom of the pile.
I’m Manda Graham, and I want to let you know that if you are ready to put your creativity first, there are lots of ways you can make it happen.
It’s time to make space to create!
I do funding and business support differently!
Do any of these sound familiar?
“It’s time to step up and be a ‘proper’ artist.”
“Traditional business support doesn’t fit the way my mind works”
“I want to grow my creative business without losing what makes it special.”
“I want to focus and find the time and space to bring my ideas to life.”
“I’m feeling a bit stuck and want to work out what’s getting in my way.”
“I spend all of my time working on other people’s projects.”
“I’m frazzled, working ridiculous hours and still can’t make ends meet.”
I get it, I’ve been there!
I have been supporting artists and delivering my own creative projects for over 20 years. So, I’ve become an unofficial expert on setting up and running sustainable creative businesses.
With the right support, it’s 100% possible to focus and take the next step in your creative career without giving up the stuff that matters.
