Ways of Working

Moderating and Hosting.

I moderate and host conversations across design festivals, showrooms, institutions and brand-led events, bringing clarity, structure and pace to panels, interviews and live talks.

Workshops, Talks and Education.

I embed professional practice into the student experience, helping emerging talent think, communicate and position themselves for careers ahead. I curate studio visits, guest lectures, workshops and education-led sessions for colleges, design academies, institutions and brands.

Mentorship and Industry Insights.

Focused, personal support for individuals at every career stage, I help people define their direction and communicate their value: one-to-one consultations and mentoring, career and positioning guidance, Portfolio curation, CV writing and cover letter refinement, interview preparation, industry insights and advice.

How I Work.

Every project starts with a conversation. I take time to understand the context, audience and intention, so the result feels aligned, relevant and purposeful. Calm, collaborative and considered.

TESTIMONIAL

Simon has been nothing short of highly professional, approachable, insightful and eye-opening. The advice he has given me, in regards to my CV was invaluable, which has already led to an increased response rate from potential employers. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for an experienced, honest, and most importantly genuine person to consult them on career advice, CV & portfolio methodologies, interviews, just to list a few.
