Creative support to help you grow with confidence
Hi, I’m Sonia Nicolson - Architect, Former University Lecturer & Creative Business Mentor.
I help creative women like you reconnect with your creativity, build confidence through drawing, and take the next step in your design career - whether you’re starting out, pivoting, or returning after a break.
I went from a struggling high school student to Chartered Architect, published academic, and British Council representative, now helping women like you draw with confidence and design creative careers that fit your life.
