Professionally-minded artists, designers, designer-makers, craftspeople, creative graduates, illustrators, potters, photographers, printmakers, sculptors and textile designers, or anybody with a hobby waiting to be turned into a business.

Creatives into Business equips creative people with the relevant business skills they need to achieve their goals. Tessa works with the professionally-minded who have a commitment to their practice, craft and business. After completing the course or one-to-one mentoring, they develop the confidence to move forward and promote their work.

Tessa is a Chartered Marketer for the creative sector. She works as a consultant, taking on specific projects (like campaigns and plans), and gives one-to-one advice for small creative businesses. Her short business course (Creatives into Business) can be run over 6-12 weeks. She can also run tailor-made workshops to meet specific needs. 

In 2012, Tessa won the PR and Marketing Campaign of the Year at the Cirencester Chamber of Commerce Business Awards for her Cotswold Open Studios event. She is an Associate Lecturer at the University of the West of England and a qualified Chartered Marketer.
