Creative Strategist | Storyteller 

Joe trained as an actor and spent his early years balancing theatre rehearsals by day with DJ sets by night. That dual love for performance and music evolved into something much bigger — a full-blown creative career spanning filmmaking, directing, producing, graphic design, and storytelling in all its forms.

He founded two theatre companies and toured plays across the UK before launching 33 Creative Group, a mentoring and education company rooted in authenticity, creativity, and connection. Joe now works directly with schools, colleges, and local authorities to deliver powerful mentoring, theatre, workshops, and presentations — especially around male identity, behaviour, and re-engagement.

Alongside his frontline work with students, Joe also collaborates with senior leaders, safeguarding teams, and curriculum leads to design bespoke programmes that respond to local needs, support vulnerable learners, and create long-term impact across education settings.

Actor | Writer | Facilitator

Izzy is a passionate actor, singer, and drama educator with a strong commitment to nurturing creativity in young people. After studying Theatre and Performance at the University of Salford, she went on to work with children and young people aged 4–18 through stage schools such as Razzamataz and Footlights, as well as community arts organisations including Perception Theatre, Altru Drama, and Bigfoot.

Her own journey was shaped by the transformative power of youth theatre and the creative mentors who inspired her. These early experiences not only gave Izzy confidence and a sense of identity, but also ignited her determination to pass that same impact on to others. She believes the arts are a powerful tool for self-expression, empathy, and growth — especially for young people finding their voice.

As a mentor, Izzy is dedicated to creating safe, inclusive spaces where every young person feels seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
