Jam Sessions
Sometimes working on your own is wonderful. At other times it can be really tough.
Like when you need a quick influx of outside thinking to help you overcome a challenge.
Or when you know you should be working on a particular piece of design work but you have a habit of pushing it back to another day.
It’s one of the things people miss most about working alone – having that team around to bounce ideas off and hold you to account.
That’s where the idea of the jams originated – as a way to overcome these blockers and move forwards with energy.
An Idea Jam is a one hour session where you can come along and ask for help for ideas from me and the other participants.
Maybe you are completely stuck for an activity for a session or for how you might advertise your services or for how you might translate a face to face activity to an online one…. you tell us your challenge and we give you ideas.
Practical advice, options, solutions & possibilities. This is my favourite thing about them – the actionable stuff you can use afterwards.
There’s a max of 5 participants so that everyone has time to get help.
I’m currently experimenting with a “pay what you think it’s worth” approach in Jan & Feb 2021. You come along to the session and then pay what you feel is appropriate afterwards.

A Design Jam is a three hour session that combines co-working, accountability and a sounding board/helping hand.
I know how easy it is to plan time to design a workshop and then constantly push it back to another day, edging ever closer to the delivery date itself.
I also know the power of setting time aside, sticking to it and being held to account for actually doing the work!
That’s what the Design Jam gives you – dedicated time and the company of others. You also get the chance for a mini Playdate with me to help you talk things through, generate ideas, voice things out loud etc. (whatever support you need at the time).
