MAKING IT HAPPEN
Essential Skills for Multi-Passionate Creatives
CREATE THE FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR MULTI-PASSIONATE FUTURE
Do these frustrations feel familiar?
You always have so many ideas for how to get your work out there, but your to-do list just grows and grows.
Youāve bought lots of courses and resources, but theyāre collecting digital dust because you find them overwhelming, canāt find the time to sit down and do the workā¦or just forget they are there.
You know you what you āshouldā be doing. You āshouldā be growing your mailing list, sharing your work online, or teaching workshops. But you never make much headway because you arenāt sure where to start (or how to actually finish things!).
You want to build a thriving, multi-passionate creative practice but you need support, encouragement, accountability, and super clear steps you can work on straight away!
Creative whirlwind, if you feel seen youāre in the right place.
Making It Happen
Essential Skills for Multi-Passionate Creatives
A super supportive, neurodivergent informed series of workshops designed to help you tick those foundational business-building tasks off your listā¦
and finally start building the creative business you long for.
Why choose āMaking It Happenā?
I know there are a lot of courses out there promising to help creative people - youāve probably even bought a few! But this isnāt just another course to feel guilty about or add to your hard drive.
Each workshop is designed to help you move forwards, not overwhelm you. Youāll get clear, step-by-step guidance, understanding considered support and the encouragement you need to actually start making these things happen.
These workshops are also specifically designed for multi-passionate creatives because we make and share our work in a very different way! If youāre tired of standard advice to āniche downā, āchoose one thingā or āfocus on one thing at a timeā donāt worry, youāll find none of that here! Instead youāll discover ways to embrace and empower yourself as a multi-passionate creative who has so much to share (just in our own way!).
Imagine what it would look like to haveā¦
āØ Your amazing multi-passionate creative work out in the world, reaching new people so it can bring you sales or opportunities.
āØ A website and mailing list you actually like using, that have the ability to grow with you (not just gather dust and add to your expenses).
āØ Systems in place that help to share and sell your work every day even when you are feeling low on energy or short on time.
āØ The confidence to teach, share, and promote your multi-passionate practice - in ways that are aligned with your own capacity, needs and values.
āØ More opportunities, more connections, more confidence and a vision of your creative future that feels positive and empowering.
Which will all free up more time and energy for you to:
š Make your amazing art!
š Do things that bring light and joy into your life like spending more time in nature, in bed reading or playing computer gamesā¦.whatever makes you happy!
And course Iāll be guiding and supporting you in this journey, bringing all my learning from 16 years as an artist who has had to learn these skills, and work out how to adapt them to my own multi-passionate practice.
Learning these 5 essential skills has had a huge impact on my creative life, enabling me to run a coaching business and continue my own art practice alongside parenting a baby! But Iād never pretend to be a super human who has it all sorted because Iām definitely not (and some days Iām tiiiirred!).
But I honestly believe without these skills thereās no way any of this could have happened, and thatās why I want to create an affordable way for other creatives to find support so they can start using them too.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
Hello creative whirlwind, Iām Ellie!
Iām an artist and creativity coach and I believe that multi-passionate creativity is amazing! In my own creative practice I am endlessly curious and inspired by the everyday magic of making things.
As a coach, I empower multi-passionate, deep-feeling makers and artists to create the work that matters most to them. I help my clients live in ways that align with their values while finding joy, fun, and meaning in the creative process.
My coaching approach is responsive to the needs of neurodivergent and super sensitive people, informed by over 15 years experience of navigating the creative industries as a neurodivergent ADHD creative myself.
Iāve been a self-employed artist since 2009 and my own journey has included:
- Working as a full time artist, sharing my own artwork through exhibitions, residencies, funded projects and through selling work online.
- Gaining qualifications in art up to MA level, in counselling skills, as a teacher and trainer for adults in the arts and creativity coaching.
- Working as a creative practitioner teaching art and craft subjects for people of all ages including in formal education, community and adult education, for museums, galleries and arts organisations.
- Sharing the creative process for over 15 years and working with thousands of people along the way!
My mission is to empower multi-passionate creative whirlwinds to bring their many ideas to life without overwhelm.
MY STORY
Like most multi-passionate neurodivergent artists, the business side of my career did not come easily to me. Over the years I invested a lot of time, energy and money into projects that I believed were the āoneā I was going to focus on long term.
Through understanding and accepting my multi-passionate creativity I was able to build a practice and find approaches to my work that allowed me to keep up my many interests while completing big projects I could be proud of, for exampleā¦
Iāve created solo exhibitions of my paper art and illustrations inspired by the natural world.
Iāve received funding for my own community arts projects.
I completed a year of funded research and development.
I trained as a creativity coach and built my own creativity coaching business.
And Iāve found ways to continue to develop my other passions such as sewing, circus, music, zoology and history and parenting my two children.
I believe that multi-passionate creativity is amazing, but in this specialism obsessed society we arenāt offered the support we need to thrive. To change that Iām creating a community of multi-passionate wonderbeings who are showing that world that it is possible to have many creative interests and still make meaningful work as an artist joyfully and without burnout.

FAQs
When is the next round running?
The next round will be starting in September 2025 - if youāre interested join the waitlist here and youāll be the first to be notified!
DO I NEED TO HAVE AN ESTABLISHED CREATIVE PRACTICE TO JOIN?
This programme is for any creative who wants to embrace their multi-passionate nature and design a creative life rooted in joy, curiosity and imagination. Whether youāre early in your journey and trying to work out how to explore all your creative passions in an aligned way, or youāve established a more specialist art practice but want to expand it into something more diverse and fulfilling for you - Multi-passionate Makers will help you uncover the right next steps for your creative future.
IS THIS ONLY FOR CREATIVE BUSINESS OWNERS?
No, itās for creatives who want a multi-passionate life whether you are currently running a business or not. We will be covering how to communicate and share your multi-passionate practice and ways to make a living as a multi-passionate maker so an interest in developing these aspects will make it more impactful for you! If you are a deeply creative person who is looking for support to build your business in ways that align with your values this is will be super helpful!
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE GROUP?
Creating an intimate group where you feel seen, heard and supported is really important to me, this programme will have a maximum of 12 participants in the second round. To help avoid overwhelm there wonāt be an additional group chat as part of the experience but I will create opportunities for you all to connect and develop friendships outside of our calls āŗļø
WHEN WILL THE 8 WEEKLY CALLS BE?
The group coach calls will take place once a week at a time to be confirmed and will last up to 90 minutes.
WHAT IF I CANāT ATTEND A GROUP SESSION LIVE?
I know you will have other commitments in your life, and because of this all calls will be recorded and uploaded to the Multi-passionate Makers Hub within 24 hours. Youāll also be able to submit your questions in advance if you canāt attend a call live.
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I EXPECT TO DEDICATE EACH WEEK?
I have designed Multi-passionate Makers to be an addition to your life, not to take over it! The 8 weekly group calls will be up to 90 minutes long. The supporting lessons will be released on the Monday of each week and should take about 2 hours a week. you will still benefit from the 8 group calls even if you havenāt completed the lesson for that week, but I advise making the time to listen to the audio recordings in preparation. You may want to revisit and expand on lessons over the following 6 months. You will make the most progress if you complete the lessons :)
HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM HELP WITH MAKING AN INCOME AS A MULTI-PASSIONATE CREATIVE?
How you can best make a living as a multi-passionate creative will be unique to you and thatās what weāll work together to define. However I will present examples of possible pathways you could take to design a creative business and practice as an artist, informed by my 16 years working as an artist in a variety of settings and the many creatives I've coached. The focus of this programme isnāt on making money though - itās about understanding and celebrating your multi-passionate creativity, exploring different ways of building a multi-passionate creative life and finding the approaches that will allow you to thrive as an individual in many different areas of your life.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CREATIVITY COACHING PROGRAMS?
Unlike many creativity coaching programs that assume you have one creative path to follow, Multi-Passionate Makers is designed specifically for creatives who love exploring multiple mediums, ideas, and passions. You donāt have to āniche downā or choose just one thing - instead, youāll learn how to embrace all your creative callings without feeling scattered or stuck. Youāll also be guided by a multi-passionate, ADHD creativity coach (me, Ellie!) so all of the approaches we use are designed for sensitive and neurodivergent people. Multi-Passionate Makers is about understanding and embracing your natural creative rhythms and helps you build sustainable practices that work with your brain, not against it.
