Our Creative Team

Hi, I’m Nicky. If I could sum up this life path I’ve been on, I’d say it all points to the deep and life-affirming impact of connection and solidarity.

 

From my earlier career in international human rights, and working on anti-discrimination projects with governmental institutions, the media and ethnic NGOs where I worked with NGOs supporting Roma communities in Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia. To my UK-based local community development, supporting tenants, ethnic minority support organisations and business start-ups.

 

Since 2009 I've been a coach working with creative entrepreneurs, career shifters and leaders, also in the social impact sector. And my lifelong love of creative writing became more insistent, and since 2015 I’ve facilitated workshops and courses in journaling, life writing and creative writing. I have an MSc in therapeutic writing, facilitating journaling circles with Ukrainian refugees in the UK and online with frontline workers, helping women migrants fleeing domestic violence in Central Asia and MA in human rights and worked overseas for 10 years. 

Hi, I'm Asia. It began before I quite knew it was beginning. During my university years, studying Rehabilitation Pedagogy, I worked alongside a special needs school, and later with an international organisation responsible for co-funded project by the European Union, supporting people living with mental health challenges, and complex social circumstances.

 

Five years in Scotland brought me into the heart of local communities, deepening my understanding of what it means to build belonging somewhere new. Back in Berlin, that thread continued through work with women with a migration background, combining photography and coaching.

 

From that foundation, the path widened naturally. Facilitation. Systemic Coaching. Learning design. Therapeutic Photography. Visual storytelling. Experiential programmes. Education. For nearly two decades I've partnered with leaders, founders, educators, and teams across international organisations, NGOs, foundations, and creative studios.
