Creating Space for Ideas to Emerge
In many organisations, creativity is expected but rarely supported by the right structures. Teams are asked to deliver innovative solutions, yet the environments in which ideas are developed are often unclear, unstructured, or shaped by dynamics that limit participation.
My work began with exploring how better environments for creative thinking could be designed. Drawing on design thinking, innovation management, and cognitive framing, the focus was on helping people break out of fixed patterns and approach challenges from new perspectives.
This exploration led me to design aMuse – a physical ideation game created to help people think more freely, reframe challenges, and unlock new ways of approaching problems.
The concept was tested with teams at AMV BBDO in London. Participants quickly engaged with the format, contributing ideas more openly and building on each other’s thinking. The playful structure created a space where people across roles felt comfortable experimenting and collaborating.
These early experiments became the foundation for further development. What began as a research-driven idea evolved into a refined game concept: designed to facilitate collaborative ideation and help teams unlock their creative potential.
PLAY-DATES
As part of my work, I facilitate Play-dates with organisations; structured, play-based sessions designed to unlock creativity, challenge assumptions, and explore new perspectives.
These sessions combine elements of games, storytelling, and hands-on experimentation to create a safe and engaging environment where teams can think freely, collaborate openly, and develop ideas together.
CASE STUDIES
BUILDING CREATIVE TEAMS
Innovation does not fail because people lack ideas, it fails when teams lack the structure, skills, and environment to bring those ideas to life.
My work focuses on designing and facilitating team development processes that strengthen collaboration, unlock creativity, and guide teams from early ideas to tangible outcomes. Through workshops, play-based sessions, and hands-on exploration, teams learn to think together, build together, and grow together.
The focus goes beyond individual workshops: it is about building strong, creative teams and sustainable innovation cultures.

INNOVATION BEGINS WITH PEOPLE
Before tools and processes can succeed, teams need:
Trust and psychological safety
Strong communication and collaboration
Self-awareness and emotional intelligence
Confidence in experimentation and learning
When these foundations are in place, creativity flows more naturally, and innovation becomes something teams can continuously develop.
WORKSHOPS
Three core formats designed to strengthen creativity, collaboration, and innovation within teams:
1.
PLAY-DATE
Play-based, facilitated sessions designed to unlock creativity and shift perspectives.
Through games, storytelling, and hands-on experimentation, teams explore challenges in new ways, build ideas together, and create a safe space for open thinking and collaboration.
2.
DESIGN THINKING
A structured, human-centered approach to innovation.
Through stages such as understanding user needs, defining challenges, ideating, prototyping, and testing, teams learn to develop solutions that are both creative and grounded in real-world insight.
3.
TEAM PERFORMANCE
Focused sessions designed to strengthen how teams work together.
By building trust, improving communication, and developing shared ways of working, teams become more aligned, collaborative, and capable of turning ideas into action.
