My Work
I specialize in five facets of a professional creative’s life:
Vision (Career Discernment)
Although you’re capable of many creative endeavors, it is important to choose the ones that fit your temperament, lifestyle, and values. What projects, processes, and services make you feel the most alive?
Image (Clothing and Appearance)
What you wear communicates your brand, aesthetic, and the way you think. Are you aware of your signature style, and are you using it to motivate others as well as yourself?
Branding (The Personality of Your Business)
Clarifying how your business is perceived sets a solid foundation for your future. If your business had a personality, what would it be? How would it speak? What would it say?
Connections (Networking)
At the heart of every creative’s work is the human connection, and meeting new people is an entryway to give and receive inspiration. Do you look at networking with apprehension or anticipation?
Health (Physical, Spiritual, Professional)
Creatives are like athletes in art: we need a confident mindset, a proper diet of inspiration, dedicated time to practice, and the space to recover. Are you feeling well-rounded in your work? Your life?
Who I help
Early to Mid-Level Solopreneurs
Already committed to their small business journeys, these artistic entrepreneurs are ready to take their craft to the next level. Unsure how to harness their abundance of ideas, they need help overcoming the overwhelm.
◎ The stylist who needs better visibility
◎ The writer who wants to become a better public speaker
◎ The graphic designer who doesn’t know how to strengthen his brand
Experienced Professionals
Armed with years of business expertise, these seasoned professionals desire to forge their own creative paths. Whether retiring to start an encore career or leaving an industry to freelance, they need a trusted partner to make the transition.

What I Do
I help working makers and solopreneurs:
Acknowledge their Talents
Assert their identity as a creative, make known who they are
Maintain their Artistic Integrity
Protect who they are, follow their intuition, celebrate their uniqueness
Sustain their Inner Resources
Nourish their spirits, keep their creative wellspring clear and flowing, fuel themselves from the inside out
Revel in the Lifestyle of a Creative
Embrace the uncertainty; assert their independence, remain confident in their purpose
Why it Matters
Creative professionals are tuning forks… we hum throughout the day and night ruminating on ideas, picturing possibilities, vacillating between confidence and doubt about our abilities.
Our process is just as important as what we create. As we produce we can allow ourselves to be depleted, or learn to self-charge.
The world around us is a crop-laden field for the imagination. What we wear; our environment; how we communicate; how we rest... all feed our artistic growth and capacity. With careful cultivation, we can harvest a lifetime of artistic inspiration.
You have the talent. It’s time to reap the rewards.
