  1. How did you get involved with Creo?

A friend referred me, as she knew one of the Creo mentors and I knew of the business they were creating so I thought it would be good to find out more.

  1. How did you find your experience of Creo? How did it help your venture?

I really enjoyed the monthly mentoring the most because it helped keep me encouraged and gave me a perspective that I would not have had, had it not been for the Creo mentors.

  1. What are you most excited for in your venture?

I am excited about developing my business in a creative, relevant and kingdom focused way.

  1. What are some of the things you’re thinking about/questions you are asking as an entrepreneur?

I am asking what is mental health’s role for people recovery post lockdown and what is my creativity going to offer that is different to what is out there now.
