What is Talent Tap Vault?

Talent Tap began as a way to help illustrators create new work without waiting for the "perfect" client brief to come along.

Over the last couple of years, we've worked through hundreds of creative ideas, explored different commercial themes and seen some brilliant work come out of the workshops.

Now, as I close this chapter, I wanted to bring everything together in one final collection.

Talent Tap Vault is the biggest Talent Tap library ever created.

You'll get access to the original TT1–TT5 briefs, plus six completely new briefs created exclusively for the Vault.

And because this is the final edition, there won't be another Talent Tap workshop after this.

What's inside?

✨ Six brand-new briefs

For the final collection, we're exploring:

01 — Movie Night In

Cosy entertainment, staying in and making your own fun.

02 — Dream Pets

The animals we love — and the animals we could only dream of having.

03 — Family Breakfast

The everyday rituals and simple moments that bring us together.

04 — Games Night

Play, competition, laughter and connection.

05 — Community Market

Local makers, food, creativity, community and coming together.

06 — Winter Celebrations

Celebrating together through the winter season — whether that's Christmas, another cultural or religious celebration, or a tradition that's completely your own.

All six briefs sit under our overarching theme:

TOGETHERNESS ON A BUDGET

Because some of the best moments don't need to cost a fortune!

WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE

Talent Tap Vault has been designed to fit around you.

When you join, you'll receive access to the programme and a series of emails introducing each of the six new briefs.

You can:

Create every week.

Take your time.

Skip a brief and come back to it later.

Work through the archive whenever inspiration strikes.

There are no deadlines and no requirement to submit your work.

This is your creative space to use however you like.

YOUR WEEKLY CREATIVE NUDGE

Each new brief comes with an email from me.

I'll introduce the theme, share some thoughts and give you a little creative encouragement before you get started.

Then it's over to you.

I'll also be keeping an eye on the Talent Tap community on Instagram, so if you share your work using the Talent Tap hashtag, I may pop by to have a look, leave a little love or share some of my favourites.

There is absolutely no expectation to share — but I'd love to see what you create.

WHO IS TALENT TAP VAULT FOR?

Talent Tap Vault is for illustrators and creatives who:

Need a reason to start creating again
Want fresh portfolio ideas
Find it difficult to create personal work without a brief
Want to explore new subjects and markets
Love a creative challenge
Want a bank of ideas to return to whenever they need them
Missed previous Talent Tap workshops
Took part in previous Talent Taps and want access to the archive
Simply want to make more work

You don't need to be at a particular level.

You don't need to have taken part in Talent Tap before.

And you definitely don't need to complete everything.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS FINAL EDITION?

Previous Talent Tap workshops were live experiences, with regular interaction, feedback and the possibility of agency representation.

Talent Tap Vault is different.

There are no live sessions and no representation opportunity.

Instead, I've taken the parts of Talent Tap that I know creatives love most — the briefs, the ideas, the inspiration and the creative momentum — and put them together into one self-paced collection.

It's Talent Tap, without the pressure!

THE FINAL TALENT TAP

This is the bit that makes the Vault special.

After five workshops, countless briefs and 2 years of Talent Tap, I'm closing the programme.

So this isn't simply another intake.

It's the final collection.

The last six new briefs.

The complete archive.

One final opportunity to get inside the Talent Tap Vault.

Once it's closed, there won't be another Talent Tap workshop.
