Fractional, hands-on support for creative + purpose-driven founders
Hero subline
Senior, hands-on support for creative founders at the point where help is needed.
When the business is established, the pressure is real, and carrying everything alone is no longer sustainable.
FFS works alongside you, sharing the load so the work can move forward and you have space again to think and create.
Section: Recognition
The signal is rarely dramatic.
It shows up in the quality of attention.
Things are done, but not properly.
The work that actually moves the business forward keeps being deferred.
Strategic projects stall.
Follow-through thins.
Decisions are made too late, or not at all.
The key is noticing this early.
Recognising when effort is being spent everywhere except where it matters most, and bringing help in before drift turns into cost
How I help
I work alongside creative founders as an independent, fractional partner.
I take on the work that keeps slipping.
The decisions that are being deferred.
The projects that need attention to move the business forward.
Sometimes the work is strategic.
Sometimes it is practical.
What matters is that it gets done properly, and that you have space again to think, create, and lead.

A co-founder, and a project director
Before FFS, I was a founder myself.
I built a luxury manufacturing business from the ground up. I raised funding, led teams, managed supply chains and partnerships, and carried the responsibility of keeping the whole thing moving under sustained pressure.
Alongside that, I spent many years leading complex work inside large creative organisations, delivering global campaigns where clarity, judgment, and follow-through were not optional.
That combination shapes how I work now.
Founders tend to recognise it quickly. I don’t need the context explained. I understand the pace, the trade-offs, and the quiet accumulation of decisions that come with building something real.
FFS exists to offer the kind of support I wished I’d had at that stage.
What that support looks like
Not advice from a distance, but someone experienced enough to step in, take responsibility, and see the work through properly.
That might mean shaping a marketing strategy, pulling a pitch together, or making sure the invoices are paid and the meetings are in the diary.
Founder to founder.
Practical support, focused on what needs doing.
The kind of work I can take off your hands.

And the work that doesn't really have a name
The projects that matter, but keep being deferred. The things that never quite reach the top of the list. If it’s important and stuck, I will take it off your hands and get it done.
Sometimes just a chat makes your load feel lighter
How it works
This support is designed to meet the moment you’re in.
Sometimes that means steady, ongoing help.
Sometimes it means focused support to move a large project forward.
Either way, the aim is the same; to take weight off you, restore momentum, and make sure the important work is handled properly.
STEP 1
LET’S TALK
We start with a short conversation.
Just the two of us, and whatever is currently sitting with you.
This isn’t a pitch or a diagnosis.
It’s a chance to talk things through with someone who understands the reality of building and running a business.
By the end of the conversation, we’ll be clear on what’s stuck, what matters most, and whether it makes sense to work together.
STEP 2
BOOK THE TIME
If we decide to go ahead, we agree how much time is needed and the pace that feels right.
You then book a set number of hours upfront, either as a one-off block or at a lower rate through a subscription.
That time is reserved and protected.
No overbooking. No dilution.
Just focused attention on the work that needs to move.

STEP 3
KICK-OFF
Once your time is booked, we arrange a clear starting point.
If you’re working on a defined project, I’ll brief directly with you and set out what I’ll deliver, when, and how we’ll work together. This becomes our shared reference, so there’s no ambiguity.
From there, you can step back, knowing the work is in hand and doesn’t need managing from your side.

FFS! FAQS
I hope these FAQs clear up any outstanding information you need.
If you’re still wondering about anything, we’ll sort it when we chat, or you can contact me below and I’ll get back to you asap.
-
Yes.
The free 30-minute consultation is where we figure out what’s stuck, whether I’m the right person to help, and what you actually need.
It’s relaxed, no pressure — but it’s essential. I only work with a few founders at a time, so I want to make sure we’re a good fit.
-
You will get a confirmation email with a link to my calender, so that you can set up a kick off meeting.
After kick-off, I’ll be in touch within 48 hours with a clear plan and timeline, and we’ll take it from there.
-
This will be tricky.
Once your project time is confirmed, it’s locked in. That helps me protect the space I’ve carved out for you and ensures every client gets the focused attention they need.
It’s how we keep momentum, avoid rescheduling chaos, and get the thing done - on time and on budget!
-
Because it protects your time and mine.
Upfront payment secures your slot and commits us both to the work.
It stops things drifting, keeps the energy up, and helps me manage multiple projects in parallel without overlap or confusion.
It also sets a clear start — and a clear finish.
You are getting founder / C Suite level service and world-class project direction for a very good price - but payment upfront is how I can keep costs down and and keep all my clients’ projects driving forward.
-
Yes.
You can add extra days when you book your package, or later if things evolve.
You’ll be charged at your package’s discounted day rate, and I’ll integrate the time into your timeline wherever it will deliver the most impact.
-
I typically work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm (UK time), across 2–3 projects at a time.
You can message me via Slack or email — I aim to reply the same day, or the following morning if it comes in late.
We will also have regular, weekly check-ins to keep you updated on my progress.
-
I keep things structured but simple. Here’s what to expect when we work together:
Every project includes a Statement of Work (SOW) and a timing plan.These documents outline what we’re doing, when we’re doing it, and what success looks like — so we’re aligned from the start.
I work in four clear phases:
Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver
If the project involves third-party suppliers — such as designers, developers, or production partners — their costs are billed at the end of each phase, according to the agreed scope and estimate.
The SOW and timing plan will also include a clear payment schedule, so everything stays on track and expectations are set.
-
Yes — always.
I’ve worked on high-level partnerships for top agencies and brands for over 25 years.
Confidentiality is baked into the way I work. If you’d like me to sign an NDA, just let me know.
