Build a career that sits at the intersection of freedom, creative fulfilment, meaning and money.

Personalised 1-1 Portfolio Career Mentoring

Get started

What is a portfolio career?

A career that’s defined by having multiple projects, clients, income streams or creative pursuits on the go, rather than being tied to a full time job. One that ebbs and flows as life moves, priorities change, interests evolve, and desires and hopes and dreams become clear.

Who this is for

Anyone wanting to turn their knowledge and interests into income and impact.

Aspiring Portfolio Careerist

You’re an IC, manager or leader who’s feeling burnt out by being in a role that doesn’t align with who you are. You want more freedom and fulfilment but aren’t sure where to start.

What people are saying

A few words from people I've supported.

"I've had the pleasure of crossing paths with Anna in multiple areas; from advising our brand on its retail expansion, to supporting us as a key hire at one of our business partners, and bouncing ideas off each other about the future of ecommerce, brands and careers. Anna is an unusually sharp, thoughtful and super-organised operator and a great person to follow for advice on carving out a career that truly fits your interests and lifestyle."

Lucy W, Serial Startup Founder

“I am constantly reassured by Anna’s warm and calming manner. Her magical skill in being able to “hear between the lines” is helping me get clearer on my value proposition and is building my confidence in this new pathway. What I know for sure is that Anna cares, is fully supportive and has my best interests at heart. I could literally talk to her all day!”

Danielle W, Fractional People & Culture Lead

“Working with Anna was the best decision I made for my freelance consulting business. Before I met her, I was wrestling with how to define my value and really struggled to position myself in market, but she helped me get clear on my messaging and gave me much needed encouragement to go out and pitch. Within 4 weeks of our first call I’d landed my biggest client (by far), and I’m feeling such good momentum!”

Tom G, Management Consultant
