How to have a purpose-led creative practice

In this online session our current Entrepreneurs in Residence, Sisterhood, will take you through practical, tangible yet inspiring ways to build a creative practice that does good.

The co-founders will share their tips, guidance and learnings of how they have navigated building a business straight after university, finding their purpose and creating a niche for their creative practice.

In the workshop, they will also facilitate you through practical steps to identify your purpose and how you can build that into your practice to attract the right clients.

In this session we will cover:

• Sisterhood’s journey from a third-year project to starting a business
• Identifying your purpose & values
• How to position yourself to attract purpose-led clients
