Keeping Curiosity Alive to Help You Thrive
Founder of little art & Creative Pause Club
Creative Life & Mindfulness Coach | Art Educator
So glad you found your way here! I’m Harriet, the creative mind behind little art and the Creative Pause Club. With over 20 years of experience in creative education, coaching, and artistic exploration, I’ve seen first hand how easy it is for people to lose confidence in their creativity. My journey from silencing my own creative voice to embracing it fully has fuelled my passion for helping others reconnect with their inner child and rediscover the joy of creativity, and the power of creative thinking to overcome challenges.
Through my Creativity LABs, I mix art and coaching to ignite imaginations and encourage fresh ways of thinking. I’ve created art workshops with museums, schools, festivals and global companies like Google, Hello Fresh and YouTube, helping people embrace curiosity, shake off perfectionism, and find delight in the messy magic of making.
Originally from London, I’ve been based in Berlin since 2013. I’m an accredited Transformational Life, Mindfulness, and Clean Coach, (Animas, ICF) a certified Drawing and Talking Practitioner, and a former Visual Arts & Design Director at The BRIT School (UK).
With a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Theatre (Visual Language of Performance), my creative path has zigzagged from art classrooms to creative spaces, from art journals to making live art in UK, Austria, Germany and beyond. I find inspiration in flickering shadows in the sunshine, the wild unpredictability of improv comedy—it keeps me grounded and playful alongside daily art journalling—and the beauty of accidental art, found in the quiet presence of absence. I feel most empowered when I follow my creative impulses—not just to recharge, but to navigate life with more ease. Creative rest helps me meet daily stresses and global challenges with curiosity and thoughtful response, rather than reactive overwhelm. It’s a practice that builds my resilience and transforms how I engage with the world, and I love guiding others to do the same.
When I’m not sparking creativity in others, I’m out exploring and following my curiosity—cycling through Berlin or camping under the stars by a lake.
I speak English (Native) and German. Let’s connect here on LinkedIn.
