Refigure Ltd news - Tue 27-06-2023
I'm an award-winning coach and consultant for the digital and creative industries. I help women become more successful and fulfilled, by sharing tools to increase confidence and be more authentic. My company is Refigure Ltd. I talk about diversity every chance I get because it's very important to me. I work with arts and digital workers, entrepreneurs, universities, producers, artists, musicians, creative leaders, and business owners. I can help you clarify your goals, focus on your priorities and support you in your success, with my 3-Hour Blast Sessions or my 6 month Love Your Work coaching program.💗
I run SheSays Brighton events for women in digital and creative industries, we now have 2000 members in Brighton alone. I'm the Festival Director for Spring Forward Festival, a month-long celebration of the role of women in digital culture that runs throughout March in parallel with Women's History Month. I hosted and organised The Story 2018. I worked with the Brighton Digital Festival board, to get them through to the next phase of their development. Until recently I was Chief Community Officer at Wired Sussex and The FuseBox.
