A guided journey to rekindle your creative spark through self-reflection and purposeful experimentation.

Ever feel your ideas bubbling up, waiting for the right moment to come to life?

Picture this: the buzz of introspection, the fun of creating, and finally putting those ideas out in the open for everyone to enjoy. This is your moment.

As Rick Rubin says, there is a time for certain ideas to arrive and they find a way to express themselves through us. Let the Creative Compass be your way!

The Creative Compass is here to help you break free from the 9-to-5 mindset and unlock the confidence, space and time to pursue the creative projects that make your heart sing. You’ll embark on a self-discovery journey, learn new ways to shut down your inner critic and create a clear path to bring your vision into the world.

Imagine the freedom and fulfilment of finally seeing your ideas out there, alive and thriving—no more "what ifs," just playful curiosity and action.

Let’s make it happen.

Why start a creative experiment now?

Starting a self-iniciated project outside your day job can help you reconnect with your interests and creativity free from the pressure of external expectations.

What is the
Creative Compass?

The Creative Compass is an exciting 3-month hands-on programme for curious professionals and creative minds who want to create a meaningful experiment that aligns with their talent.

Whether you’re a bit lost creatively or you already have a few ideas in mind you’d like to bring to life, the 3-module program gives you the tools, support and space you need to shape and get a creative project in motion — keeping you excited and accountable along the way.

The group programme isn’t about fitting into a box or avoiding mistakes, it’s your playground to learn more about yourself, get inspired and turn your ideas into a real creative experiment worth shouting about.

It’s time to step out of your routine and connect deeply with your powers and drivers bringing more joy, creativity and fulfilment into your life.

Is the Creative Compass
right for me?

The Creative Compass is for curious and ambitious professionals who might feel a bit stuck, uninspired or uncertain about what to do next. It’s a collaborative space to test your wild ideas and take risks without the pressure of hitting deadlines and KPIs.

Regardless of your situation, the Creative Compass will help you gain clarity, find a direction and activate your creativity through reflection and action.

The programme is for you if…

  • You’re someone full of ambition and ideas, but you often find yourself living on autopilot.

  • You feel like you’ve lost touch with your creative self.

  • You want to reconnect with your passions and find more purpose in your life and work.

  • You’ve got many ideas, but taking action feels overwhelming, and you don’t know where to begin.

  • You know you want to create something exciting but don’t know exactly what. This lack of clarity leaves you feeling demotivated.

  • You procrastinate and get distracted when starting a self-driven project.

  • You crave peer-to-peer support and cheerleading outside of work.

How does it work?

The Creative Compass includes…

  • Introduction Session: an overview of the programme and what we will work on.

  • Reflective Journal: A playbook for self-discovery to guide you through your experiment.

  • Creative Circles: 3 accountability-filled group calls to get inspired and check in on your progress.

  • The Library: A collection of reflection, inspiration and wellbeing resources to explore at your own time.

  • A creative experiment: a project full of learnings and insights to be proud of.

  • Showcase Session: a wrap-up session to celebrate your achievements.

Hola, I’m Sara!

I specialise in empowering creatives to unlock their potential and create authentic work they are passionate about. But… how did I get here? From working with tiny humans to seasoned professionals, my journey looks something like this:

  • Art Teacher in schools. I spent the best time creating and building cool masterpieces with 3-6-year-olds.

  • Co-founder of Art Placebo, a pop-up space to help professionals unleash their creativity through art-making and collaboration.

  • Mentor with I LIKE NETWORKING and Ok Mentor. I've helped young creatives to navigate their creative careers.

  • Content & Curation Manager at Domestika. I helped over 100 established creatives transform their creative processes into engaging learning content.

  • Senior Programme Manager for D&AD Shift. I’m leading an award-winning night school supporting non-traditional creatives entering the industry.

If you’re ready to take the steps towards a more creative and fulfilling life, it’s time to join the Creative Compass in Autumn of 2025.

“We grow used to leveraging our abilities for the sole purpose of meeting others’ expectations, and much of it is driven by hitting our marks rather than by exploring new possibilities.”
