About VATA Collective

I’m Adam, a creative facilitator and program designer with over twenty years’ experience working across community development, youth work, facilitation, and design.

The “collective” is me — and everyone who has shaped my practice. Friends and collaborators I work alongside on workshops and projects, mentors whose ideas I carry, and the communities who’ve taught me what real engagement looks like. Their fingerprints sit in everything I do.

Depending on the work, I design and deliver projects myself, or collaborate with others to support and run workshops where it adds value.

After twenty years in this work, one truth is consistent: people thrive when they feel safe, seen, and part of something. My work weaves creative facilitation, cultural grounding, and practical tools to help organisations design spaces where that can happen.

If you want to build spaces that truly work for humans, I’d love to collaborate.
