WHY I MENTOR
When I first started out in the industry, I'll never forget one magazine editor who opened up her contacts book and gave me the head start that I needed. Admittedly, I had to work hard to get a name for myself, but that kindness of giving her time has stayed with me. It's time to give back to the industry that has been extremely kind to me and allowed me to work across TV, editorial, radio, commercial, and advertising.
Early on in my career, I worried that I’d lose out on opportunities if I priced my services too high, so I often accepted below-rate work. I didn’t have a clear idea of industry-standard rates nor the confidence to ask for what I deserved.
I wasn’t sure how to get my work in front of the people I wanted to work with or how to make my work stand out. I phoned and visited countless publishers—sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Twenty-five plus years into my career, running two successful businesses, with lived experience working in-house as an interior editor on several leading UK titles and having authored a book, I am well versed in handling the awkward conversations of rates, contracts, and invoices—I have an answer for almost every scenario!
With my most recent venture, The Sensory Home, I have taken this from 'an idea' to an established business. It started with a book, then multiple brand collaborations, and a consultancy service. I have learnt about pitching, contracts, branding, and, most importantly, protecting your IP.
Now, I'm passing on my knowledge to other creatives so you can reach your full potential.
I try to make my sessions as relaxed and informal as possible, and I really don't mind what business questions you ask me; no question is stupid.

I was struggling with the direction of my business and knowing how to show up and sell my services. Pippa was absolutely lovely and offered a wealth of knowledge on the broader aspects of running a freelance business as well as interior specific insights which were immeasurably helpful.
