Maida Hill Market

Jeannette Doumbe
After working on a friend’s market stall Jeannette decided she wanted to operate her own one. She had never previously run her own business although she had experience working in retail and fashion.

Consequently she contacted the Westminster Enterprise Centre for help. She attended a full programme of business start-up and development workshops. Jeannette also regularly met with her business advisor.




He helped her produce a business plan and financial forecasts that enabled Jeannette to successfully apply for a £500 business grant. This funding was used towards her initial stock of shopping bags.
Currently Jeannette is test trading at Maida Hill Market in London W9.

He also helped and trained other designers and companies make the transition from conventional artwork to a digital work flow.

De Novo Arts

About De Novo Arts

De Novo Arts is a future-proof jacket. Put us on and we will help you brave the hail of time bullets with a thick layer of creative kevlar.

We make high quality films to promote high quality modern arts.

Creativity is at our heart and we believe that digital media is no longer the future - it is the present. The specific field that has grown is film - and this incorporates a wide range of other disciplines, all of which we provide.

A complete and successful film must be sympathetic to its subject matter, convey it in the most engaging way and tie everything together seamlessly.

The mark of a good film is if you cannot tell it has been edited at all - as if the finished product is as the original idea. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts, but the different parts must be meticulously put together in order to achieve this.

Film is no longer a luxury medium of conveyance but a business requirement; a website is not complete, a portfolio of work fails short and a message is lost without a video. It's important to us that anyone wishing to expand their digital library receive the best films possible - an ethos we strongly believe in.

We can create electronic resources to any specification for use as new digital media. We can help you with promotional material, profile films, conceptual pieces, music videos - just about any type of film you can inagine.

We make high quality films to promote and explain what you do.
