Harland was my grandmother’s maiden surname. It originates from the Old English term “Hare Land,” meaning land where hare populations thrive and I love that sense of energy and movement it brings.
Beyond client work, I’m also the founder and host of Poets in Putney, a community open-mic poetry night that has quickly grown into a vibrant part of local creative life, in southwest London. I believe in the power of creativity to connect people, whether through words, music, or events and that same passion runs through the services I offer at Harland VA.
When I’m not working with clients or running poetry nights, you’ll most likely find me at creative events, sound-baths, live music gigs, theatre, festivals etc.
