Weaving creativity, strategy and stories into action

Hi, I’m Sara - a heritage consultant with 20 years experience and a love for storytelling, strategy, and making things happen.

I help museums and cultural projects grow with purpose, creativity and heart.

what I offer

Whether you’re developing a major funding bid, rethinking your strategy, or planning a new exhibition, I offer practical support to help shape the story, connect the dots, and bring cultural projects to life in thoughtful and engaging ways.

Got a big vision but not sure where to start? I’ll help you map it out, make it manageable and turn your ideas into something you can actually run with.

From blank page panic to deadline day nerves, I’m here to help you shape strong, fundable bids with a clear story and confident case for support.

Whether it’s a team workshop, away day or hands on session, I create a space where people feel comfortable, get talking and leave with ideas they’re excited to try.

I help turn objects, themes and tricky topics into stories that spart curiosity, invite conversation and connect with real people.

I work with you to build business plans that are clear, realistic and grounded in what works, whether you’re rethinking a cafe offer, planning a new space or setting future goals.

Need a mix of support? No problem. I can pull together a package that suits your project, budget and timeline, just drop me a line and we’ll figure it out.

Here’s a little glimpse of the kind of work I do. Every project is different, but they all start with listening, asking the right questions and finding creative and practical ways forward.
